can someone recommend me some parts?

[Nerva]

title says it all. i am budgeting about 700 for this. need mobo, cpu, graphics card, ram, possibly a new psu, serial hds also. AMD 64 preferrable.

 

[summit]

700 isnt gonna get you anything i was looking at mobo, cpu and gcard, ram ... wow i was so shocked at how expensive things get...

mobo and cpu amd64 is gonna run at least 350? decent card is like 200 and ram is like 200 the rest of the parts are gonna run you well over your budget...

hopefully my new rig

and thats running about 1500 right now... yeah goodluck, if you find something lemme know :-D

 

[Nerva]

yep got all those. i dont game that much anymore, but yeah an ok system for gaming is an agenda. i have just been out of touch with all the parts and stuff and am too busy to research anything.

So basically you want CPU power? Where does your current computer fall short for you? Current PSUs brand/model/12V rail rating?

 

[Nerva]

currently i have a xp1900+ running on 768mb of pc2100 ram.

 

[ribbon13]

You didn't answer any of my questions.

 

[theMan]

ok, you overclock right??

A64 X2 3800+
epox 9npa+ ultra
geforce 6600le. nice budget card, can handle new games if you decide you want to play them
this psu
2x512mb corsair value select ddr400

should meet your budget. and you get dual core!!!

 

[imported_Bleh]

Get the opteron 165. Its cheaper and has a 1mb cache on each core and just overclock that sucker to at least 2.4 ghz.

 

[theMan]

yeah, thats the other option. it will save you like $50.

 

[Remedy]

He also needs a SATA HD"s that he requested. So, throwing in an X2 or Opteron 165 may not be the best idea to not overcap his budget of $700.

ASRock 939Dual $66 there is also a BIOS update from the 3rd of this month to support Opteron 1xx as well.

1GB PC3200 $78


x800 $149

Forton FP400 $50

320GB Western Digital$129
Best value per gig.
3500+ $201


Sub-total $675+$13shipping.
Atleast, JMO...

 

[theMan]

what size drive do you need?

 

[ribbon13]

For a cheap drive this is the way to go

 

[Nerva]

ok, i currently have a 420W Enermax for psu so i am keeping it.

That's $700 including legit software, right?
