building new PC, appreciate any help/suggestions
Hello,
I am planning to build a new PC and was hoping to get some advice on the setup I am currently looking at. It will basically just be a standard PC. Some moderate gaming, photoshop, movie watching, web browsing. I am trying to keep my price around $700. I already have all the peripherals, optical drives, floppy drive, and new version of windows. This is what I am currently looking at. Any suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks!

if u can manage i recommend the x800gto or the 6800gs, either would show a great improvement over the x600 and whats more is that u could overclock these really well, since theyre high end cards that are just crippled (lowered clock speeds, locked pipelines)

the one thing you are missing is optical drives
i recommend getting two (combo drive and dvdrw) you can get dvdrw pretty cheap on newegg http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16827152055 also you may need an operating system if you dont have one (keyboard mouse monitor as well) |

Thanks for the feedback. I will look into the other cards. Also, I already have the optical drives, OS, keyboard, mouse.
Anyway, thanks for the feedback. |

That motherboard has integrated 8 channel sound. You might want to try it out before you get a sound card.
Rosewill isn't considered to be very good RAM. Here is the list of tested/approved RAM for that motherboard from the ASUS website. Also, if you are going with 1 Gb of RAM, a 2 x 512 dual channel kit would give you a little better performance, and if 1 stick fails, you would still be able to run the computer.

Good point about the integrated sound. I will likely remove the sound card from my list and save some money. I'll probably buy some Kingston RAM instead. Thanks for the advice!
