$600 to spend on CPU, Motherboard, Graphics card and PSU

[shadowhawk2020]

The title says it all, in the next month or so I will have $600 to spend on those 4 things, the rest I can take from my current computer.

After reading reviews I have pretty much decided on this supply http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817189003

But after that I am lost.


Thanks,
Shadow

the fortron 450w gives a little more juice for the same price. what will you be doing with this pc, any overclocking? you have a windows cd ready for a reinstall/repair install?

I would like as good of a gaming computer as possible for this budget, I probably won't be over clocking though. I do have a windows cd, and all the other parts, case, hd keyboard mouse speakers monitor ram and optical drives.



Thanks for the help,
Shadow

3000+ venice (146)
epox 9npa+ (105) -OR- msi k8n neo 4 (84)
sapphire x800gto retail (176)
fortron 450w (50)

should be $477(w/ 9npa+) before shipping/tax. since you dont think you're oc'ing, you can use the extra money and switch to the msi neo4 to bump up to a 3700+ san diego.

edit: oh yeah, the video card is a gold mine, you can unlock it to 16 pipelines, and overclock it to an 850xt pe from what i heard. theres a thread about this in the hot deals section.

Leaves $300 for GPU.

3000 would leave $350 for GPU

A refurb x800xl can be gotten for $200

A refurb BFG 7800GT can be gotten for $350

That stuff can change in a month, but probably pretty similar 30 days from now.

Leaves you just about enough to get the power supply you like. I did not shop around for the lowest prices for these components. You may be able to lower the price a bit if you do.

I haven't submitted what I thought for a new build in awhile. I will say this, though. Some may disagree with me, but I think you shouldn't slack on the motherboard. Many people like to get the cheapest mobo so they can get a faster cpu/videocard. Go with the lanparty. 6800gt is enough to push anything you through at it. 3000+ will be enough as well. The motherboard decides whether your system is going to be ROCKSOLID, or give you problems.

My Opinion.

3200+ Socket 939 e6 $126

*AVC X2 Copper heatpipe AMD heatsink, $21.99 Free Shipping* (You'll need this for the 3200+ as it doesn't come with one for the low price)

ASRock Socket 939 ULi1695 board, $66

FSP400-60GLN 400Watt power supply, $49

Radeon X800 XL $229


$494 total. Although, that's just my opinion on how I'd go about spending the money. Pocket the rest of the funds.
