New Build
Hello all
So Im building a new system just to have a windows based computer around the house, Mainly using it for word processing - converting strange formats to MP3 , reading FB ,, simple stuff. Wanted to stay within a 300$ range. I like to run my builds though you guys before I order so let me know what you think. Im missing a HDD and DVD drive in my order as I already have that. I'm using an AMD because I cant find a quad core in INTEL in my price rang , And Iv never had problems with tiger direct, I know most peeps here dont like tiger direct : ? All in all will these parts work well together? Screen shot of my order http://i511.photobucket.com/albums/s...Untitled-9.jpg |

If he hadn't said "quad core" he would have gotten an Intel suggestion from me.........and it would have been even less than that.

If you want 8gb, go for it. But, why do you need 8gb?

Not sure..
Iv always thought the more Ram the better. Plus I may use Adobe Auditions to record and edit from time to time so I don't want any skips in the music like Iv experienced in the past with other systems. |

More RAM is only useful if your apps have used all there is.
