All right, here goes... my first comp
I know you guys get a lot of these, so I apologize ahead of time for any repetition. I've been reading over these boards and looking online for the last week or so, and I think I've finally got what I want for my first self-built system. Any advice would be appreciated, as it's a little scary to invest so much money in something I know little about.
... I plan to use this system primarily for gaming... Hard Drive Seagate Barracuda 7200.8 3.5" Serial ATA150 Hard Drive http://www2.newegg.com/Product/Produ...82E16822148064 DVD Burner LG Black IDE DVD Burner http://www2.newegg.com/Product/Produ...82E16827136049 Sound Card CREATIVE Sound Blaster Audigy2 ZS Gamer Limited Edition http://www2.newegg.com/Product/Produ...82E16829102171 Monitor ViewSonic G220fb Black 21" Flat Screen http://www2.newegg.com/Product/Produ...82E16824116229 Video Card Sapphire Radeon X850 XT PCI-Express http://www2.newegg.com/Product/Produ...82E16814102505 Those are the ones I'm pretty sure about, but I am still having a mobo/cpu/ram battle, so here are two options given my budget... (I'm not asking Intel vs AMD, I just want to know which packet is better for m budget ~$900 for mobo, CPU, and RAM) Processor AMD Athlon 64 3500+ Clawhammer http://www2.newegg.com/Product/Produ...82E16819103514 Motherboard Abit Fatal1ty AN8 http://www2.newegg.com/Product/Produ...82E16813127196 (Does the fact that it says NVidia in the name mean anything?) RAM OCZ 2 GB DDR400 http://www2.newegg.com/Product/Produ...82E16820227210 or the Pentium route... Processor Intel Pentium IV 640 3.2 GHz Prescott Socket 775 2MB Cache http://www2.newegg.com/Product/Produ...82E16819116197 Motherboard Abit Fatal1ty AA8XE http://www2.newegg.com/Product/Produ...82E16813127189 RAM Kingston ValueRAM 2GB DDR2533 http://www2.newegg.com/Product/Produ...82E16820144157 Thanks a lot for any help... I know it must be frustrating helping a bunch of newbs all the time, but I gotta start somewhere. Last edited by Verdauga; 04-25-2005 at 10:03 PM. Reason: Uninforming title |
