2nd Build Budget Computer
Hey Guys,
I successfully built my first computer awhile ago, and now, I'm in the process of building another one for someone else. Well, at least hopefully. So i was just wondering if you guys can help me out by checking to see if these parts i chose are compatible with each other and if they are reliable parts. I don't really have a specific budget, but it needs to be as cheap as it can be. Its only going to be used for basic computer things such as homework/microsoft word and the internet. Please let me know if these parts are okay. Thank you! Any suggestions are welcomed. Case - COOLMAX CV-580-White 0.6mm Steel/ ABS ATX Mid Tower Computer Case - Retail CPU - Intel Celeron D 326 Prescott 533MHz FSB LGA 775 EM64T Processor w/ Execute Disable Bit Model BX80547RE2533CN - Retail Motherboard - Gigabyte GA-8I848P775-G Socket T (LGA 775) Intel 848P ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail Memory - Kingston ValueRAM 256MB (2 x 128MB) 184-Pin DDR SDRAM DDR 333 (PC 2700) Unbuffered Dual Channel Kit System Memory Model KVR333X64C25K2/256 - Retail Video - MSI MX4000-T128 Geforce MX4000 128MB DDR AGP 4X/8X Video Card - Retail PSU - ENERMAX EG301P-VB-1-FM ATX12V 300W Power Supply - OEM CD/DVD - SAMSUNG Combo Drive Beige IDE Model SH-M522C/BEWN - OEM Hard Drive- Western Digital Caviar WD400BB 40GB 7200 RPM IDE Ultra ATA100 Hard Drive - OEM |

That's pretty cheap - but I'd do a total revamp. You can do a LOT better for very little additional cost.
1. A 0.6mm steel case is VERY flimsy. Here's a decent case that comes with a decent power supply. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811153042 2. Good choice of processor. 3. I wouldn't use a 848P based board for a 775 build. Why not a more up to date quality board with onboard video, kill 2 birds with one stone? This one has a PCI-E slot for a future upgrade if desired. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813131586 4. 256mb ram will be bog slow - go for 512mb. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820145477 5. Unnecessary. 6. Unnecessary. 7. A DVD burner is not much more than a combo drive. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16827106014 8. Bad, relatively slow drive. Go SATA and double the size. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822135106 How does all this compare pricewise? |
