Hello
I am building a new rig for myself and I require the people of the forum to assist me in this set-up. My current set-up is for some casual gaming, some 3D redering, A/V editing (no major), and High School related work.
Case:
Guardian NZXT ($70)
DVD-Burner:
NEC 8X DL 2510A ($74)
CPU:
Athlon 64 2800+ ($150) (I plan to upgrade it later to the 3700+ when the price justifies it; it just needs to hold me off until Dual Core becomes a sure thing).
Hard Drive:
Seagate 160 SATA II with NCQ ($115)
or
Seagate 160 SATA ($107) (any major difference in performance and/or stability?)
RAM:
OCZ EL 512 PC-3200 Platinum Edition ($123)
Mobo:
MSI K8N Neo Platinum with nForce3 250 chipset($128) (The Mobo MUST have onboard sound and gigabit ethernet (future-proofing a bit) along with a firewire connection, I do some video editing).
Video Card:
Powercolor ATI Radeon 9800SE 128MB DDR, 256-bit
Thanks to all those who help
