List of Parts for Son's Xmas Gift
I am building a computer for my son. He likes to play Battle Field 2 and Call of Duty. This is what I am thinking of for the guts of the system:
Mobo- Gigabyte Ga-K8u Socket 754 model #GA-K8U Video Card - eVGA 128-A8-N350 Geforce 6600GT 128 Power Supply - Raidmax RX-380K ATX12V 380W CPU - AMD Athlon 64 3000+ Newcastle 800MHz FSB Socket 754 RAM- one 256 DDR DM 184k one 256 ddr Pc 333 The RAM is something that my other son has left over from another build. Your thoughts are much appreciated. Thanks |

What kind of budget do you have?
Might consider switching to a S939 board and processor and PCI-E. This will keep his upgrade options open in the future. S754 and AGP are dead-ends. That's a horrible quality power supply, sorry for $15 you won't get anything worthwhile. Here's something a little better: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817104953 Better safe than sorry (don't want the cheapo power supply dieing and taking out part of the system with it). If it's within budget, I'd consider picking up a little more RAM.
