Help with PCI to IDE controller options (and some other stuff)

Recommended Posts

So Ive decided to put together an OSX86 Machine. However I don't really have the cash right now to be spending on a new PC but unfortunately I think it has become a necessity. Seeing that this computer that im using now was just about the fastest thing that I could build in 2001. Now its just an annoyance. I don't know if its the hardware or Microsoft hell but I want out.

 

So my list of parts looks like this

 

Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L

CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E2160 (intend to overclock to 3Ghz, please let me know if this is realistic)

Memory: G.SKILL (2 x 2GB) DDR2 800

Video: GeForce 7300GT 256MB by ZOTAC

 

On to my 3 Questions

 

1) Does this look good?

 

2) I have a couple of IDE/PATA hard drives plus IDE/PATA DVD drive and this motherboard will only support 2 of thouse devices can anyone recomend a PCI to IDE Controller that would work well or sould I look for another Motherboard?

 

3)Will An Enermax 450watt Power supply be enugh?
