Revised build
I've researched a little and learned a little more since my first build specs. I think I have a good idea started but would like some input if possible. My budget is around $1200 but if I can get away with spending less that would be fine. I want to build a gaming machine for Vanguard when it comes out next month. I'm getting an OS from school so that's not going to be an issue. The parts I have so far are:
Case:Thermaltake Tsunami VA3000BWA Black Aluminum ATX Mid Tower Computer Case - Retail 131.98 MOBO:ASUS P5B Deluxe Socket T (LGA 775) Intel P965 Express ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail 189.93 CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E6300 Conroe 1.86GHz 2M sharing L2 Cache LGA 775 Processor - Retail $181.00 HD: Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 ST3250620A 250GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache IDE Ultra ATA100 Hard Drive - OEM $85.93 Optical: LITE-ON Black 16X DVD+R 8X DVD+RW 8X DVD+R DL 16X DVD-R 6X DVD-RW 5X DVD-RAM 16X DVD-ROM 48X CD-R 24X CD-RW 48X CD-ROM 2M Cache ATAPI/E-IDE DVD Burner With LightScribe - Retail $42.12 RAM: CORSAIR ValueSelect 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 533 (PC2 4200) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Retail $213.98 Video:?? PSU:?? Are the parts I've listed compatable? I want a good video card but it doesn't have to be top of the line. I guess 512mb? I don't know much about cards. A link would be appreciated because I don't know what one model is from the next. I also want a good reliable Power Supply that will be able to handle it. Thanks again for all the help. |

Swap that hard drive out for a SATA one:
Seagate 7200.10 250GB Get this ram instead, its better and cheaper. Corsair 2gb DDR2 667 These would be some great gamer cards: X1950PRO X1950XT Get one of these powersupplies: Silverstone ST50EF Sunbeam NUUO 550W
