Good setup?

[Genesis15]

Windows XP Home Edition
A-Date 512 PC 3200
XFX 6600GT 128 8x AGP
Antec 300W
AMD Athlon 64 2800+
Chaintech Nforce3 250

What do you think of that? for a budget system. Adding more ram soon and probably updating the PSU to 350-400W this summer.

Leadtek 6600 GT IMO is the best 6600 GT. Look at the retail 6600 GT article HERE

As cheap as ram is nowadays, I would get a gig of Corsair Value for $84. PSU, CPU, and MB are fine but I'd spend a little more and get a DFI NF3.

"for a budget system" Yes this is a budget system, and XFX was rated best out of them all. Corsair is just a brand I don't follow all the brands and I said I was upgrading to a gig. As far as my Nforce goes, chaintech is sweet. Thx for the opinion though.

if you plan on upgrading, you should plan on getting the same kind of ram.. the a-data is ok.. but it'll be worth a few bucks more to go with the corsair/geil/ocz value versions... are you selling your old computer? if not why dont you just use that video card? i recently built myself a budget a64 computer for about $500 and i love it

also, i have heard both good and bad things about the chaintechs... i would recommend either an MSI or Abit for mild overclocking and excellent stability 🙂 personally i have an abit kv8-pro...now i know everyone says dont get a mobo with a VIA chipset, but mine works great 😉
