ADL

Hello, guys

Since my current computer is getting vastly outdated (It doesn´t even have an AGP) and doesn´t seem to hold very well Maya, nor any other resource intensive aplication, I´ve currently begun a quest to build me myself one. I won´t go OEM no more.
Also, this no inmediate setup (Since I´m broke ATM anyway) but one with a future scope (Maybe 6 months), this could even play advantageous for me, since components would actually lower their prices.

As such, I would kindly request your aid guys, in reviewing this, and probably more setups I might present in this thread in the near future.

One more thing, I just went mayor components hunting, using some well known review sites (such as anandtech.com), however I haven´t gotten in it connection cables, or fans since I don´t have the slighlest clue about them. All the components wil be imported to my country, which is why I can´t afford mistakes ... so If something´s missing please do say so.

Setup (Updated as of May 2th)
ASUS Motherboard P4C800 Deluxe

ATI Radeon 9800 Pro 128MB

Intel Pentium 4 3.06GHZ

Corsair 512MB DDR RAM x 2

Maxtor 80 GB 7200 RPM

Current price as of now is about 1280$

Remember still need a case, fans, power unit, etc. So please tell me what else do I need to make this a working setup.
I´m endeavouring for a mid-to-top-of-the-line desktop station.

Oh by the way, going for Pentium.

Thanks guys

LOL rage. Please do not associate such stuff.
Kevin precised of some shagging songs -you know for his own perverted fantasies- and I gave him some titles.

What he does with them, is his bussiness, but please .. for the love of god, DO NOT ASSOCIATE HIM WITH ME. user added image
