The new system I am building is as follows:

3.2 ghz pentium 4 (LGA 775) 800 mhz FSB HT

SOLTEK "SL-915GPro-FGR" 915G Chipset

Geil Ultra Series Value Dual Channel 184 Pin 1GB(512MBx2) DDR

Leadtek nVIDIA GeForce 6600GT Video Card, 128MB GDDR3, 128-Bit, DVI/TV-Out, PCI-Express

160 gb Maxtor hard drive 7200 rpm

I haven't got a sound card yet, but I'm going to wait on getting that and just run on-board for awhile. One question I had was how delicate is the process of installing an LGA 775 processor? Some sites are scaring the shit out of me

, but there are those who say its really easy. My second question is I was getting mixed information about the power connector on the motherboard. Some people are saying you need to get a 24pin power supply because the new boards that have the LGA 775 processor require it, but then other sources are saying that you plug it in and leave the other 4 pins alone. So, yeah, a little bit of confusion on that part. Any help, recommendations would be greatly appreciated as I have not ordered all the parts yet. Just the case (with 450 watt power supply) and hard drive.
