Understood but you have to understand my $1,200 budget... I'm already a bit over it - realy don't want to go any further

Yeah, I get that.

Newegg seems to be out of it currently but the Lian Li PC-7B goes for about $90-100, you can also get a Forton-Source PSU for $35-40. All in all it would end up being a bit more the Antec combo but much better in my opinion.

Also for the $50 price range I wouldn't even consider 5.1 speakers. That?s less then $10 per speaker, its going to sound like crap. Go with a pair of 2.1s.

That's like building a fast turbo charged engine and installing it in a car with wore out tires, because... "I'm already a bit over it - realy don't want to go any further"
Seems like everyone here starts building their system from the top down, instead of the right way. :laugh:

I agree. Every build I do that breaks $800 gets a Lian Li, or CoolerMaster AL case along with a Forton-Source or Seasonic PSU.

Plan to overclock? If not then don't get that RAM, $10 is $10, don't waste it. but it's up to you.

I'm not sure if it will unless you overclock that RAM, personally I'm getting that RAM.

Do you mind waiting to get a rebate? If not, then I would get it. Otherwise, I would not

 

[StevenNevets]

Rebates are fine🙂

It hasn't been released yet which would explain this.

It looks to be a pretty good build there, lots of good quality components and finally someone who is actually going to stay with their budget - I tip my hat to you.

 

[StevenNevets]

bump

still want to hear what you guys have to say about those 2 questions

 

[StevenNevets]

er😱

 

[StevenNevets]

someone comment on the ram selections and the motherboard

reasure me, it'll make me a happy campier

 

[V00D00]

I would go with the DDR2 800, I think that cpu can support it. (btw, the cpu is out of stock at your link)

The motherboard looks fine. Intel has a good feature set, expecially if you don't overclock.

I would get XP Home for you as you probably won't use the features that are missing:
Here's a site that lists them:
http://www.winsupersite.com/showcase/windowsxp_home_pro.asp

Do you really need them? And I don't mean "Hey, that's cool, I have to try that some time". The question is, do you use them now.
