I am looking to build a semi-upper range box for probably the first in awhile. Normally my boxes are piece meals but I'd like to buy something that has some longevity along with good eye candy for now, here is what I am thinking about:
Athlon 64 X2 6000 AM2 w/90mm fan and artic silver thermal compound
Asus M2A-VM Mobo
Raidmax Ares ATX-801 WBP ATX Mid-Tower Case w/120mm case fan
Okia 600 Watt PS
Sapphire 3870
Mushkin 2 GB HP2-6400 (2x1G)
Western Digital 250GB Sata 2
LiteOn 20X DVD/CD Burner
Audigy 2 holdover from previous box
Windows XP for now, eventually Vista
Primarily going to be gaming rig, I was able to get the barebones setup for about 380 bucks then adding the RAM/HD/Video card and burner brought me in around 815 bucks, highest I really wanna go is 900. Would like to keep it at this price but if there is room for improvement I'd love to hear it. I played Oblivion on this rig ok, COD4 is ok.... I'd love to turn on eye candy and go through Oblivion and COD4 again. Thanks in advance for the advice.
