Greetings all,
In preparation for finally upgrading to an HD set, I'm building this PC so I can take full advantage of it. However, I have the bulk of it done, but I need a second(or third) pair of eyes to confirm if I've missed anything. Here's the configuration:
Power Supply: PC Power & Cooling Silencer 610W
Motherboard: Foxconn A78AX-S
Processor: AMD Athlon X2 4850e 2.5GHz
Processor Cooling: SilenX IXC-92HA2
Memory: OCZ Platinum 2GB DDR2-800
HD: Western Digital 160GB SATA2
Graphics: EVGA Geforce 8800GT Superclocked
Graphics Cooling: SilenX IXG-80C
Optical: Lite-On Blu-ray Drive DH-4O1S
All of this will be going into an old Enermax Mid-Tower I have. The advice I need regards the mobo; I'm fairly certain it will be able to support the 2.1v the OCZ RAM needs, but what I'm not certain about is whether or not the SATA Blu-ray drive is going to be recognized. There are many reports of SATA optical drives not being seen by some boards, but I don't see any reviews of this particular board, and I can't find a list of the affected chipsets.
As for the rest of the setup, I'll just be praying the power supply and graphics card will fit in the old case and I won't need a new one.
Thanks in advance!
