Thanks to everyone that helped me. I got all my parts and assembled it tonight. It was the first time I've built a system in a long time so I was stuck forgetting to attach the 12V connector to the mobo which didn't exist the times I previously built them :P silly me. But after some searching...
I placed my orders but the video card that was recommended is now out of stock. (Gigabyte ATI4850).. Does anyone know how MSI's 4850 would compare? http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16814127359 I read that they have some heat issues, but it seems the Gigabyte does too. Any feedback...
I tried looking at the info on RAM and timings, and I was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of the best ram with the current deals for 4GB of DDR2-800 ram. The Mushkin 4GB DDR2-800 looked good but won't be in stock for a while (ETA is after the current rebate period ends)...
Yea, the E7200 is only $40 more. It seems like a good deal, but I didn't know if the E2200 had something special about it.
And yes, that PSU is 610W. http://www.newegg.com/Product/...16817703005&Tpk=S61EPS

Unless...
Yeah, when it comes to HDs that's one thing I have plenty of :) I have a couple of 500gb Seagate SATA2's in my current system right now (and others in external enclosures.. Im addicted to harddrive rebate deals-- you can never have too much space.)
So far for the parts that I actually need...
Thanks, Roguestar. I think that'll definitely help. I'll probably go with most of those options unless anyone else gives me anything that sticks out. (I won't need the HD as I have a new one I'll be using.) Would there be a big difference going from the E2200 CPU to E7200 for $40...
Sure. Right now the only really potentially intensive games I would play would be multiplayer FPS like Valve's current/near-future offerings. Everything else is more lower end stuff that my current system could even handle (Adventure games like Sam & Max, etc). I mainly play everything else on...
Hello everyone,
It's been like 5 years since I chose parts to build a new PC from scratch without basing it off someone's recommendation. My budget is preferably under $500-600 but I may be willing to go higher if it makes a big difference for the future.
I don't need help with...
