The most I really want to spend is $1600 for everything. I'd ike you to give me other options for the price range and your opinions on the parts.
Here they are. Also i've listed more then one option on some.
***Processor-I'm skicking with Athlon 64, but can go with different models.
Would you say the 3400+ Socket 754 is a better the the 3500+ Socket 939?
There isn't much diference in price and it will be simpler to upgrade with the S 939 right?
3400+
3500+
***Video card-Fairly open to suggestions.
eVGA nVIDIA GeForce 6800GT.
It's out of stock right now but I think they should get more in before I build in a month.If not I can go with the Doom 3 bundle of so no prob there.
***Motherboard-Open to suggestions as long as it's compatible with the Athlon 64.
MSI "K8N Neo2 Platinum"
It was the pick of the High-End Buyers Guide for September.
***Ram-Open to suggestions.
OCZ Gold Edition Rev3 Dual Channel.
Do you think this is to much for ram? I'ld like to get a cheaper one, but don't want to get bad ram. This was also suggested for an athlon 64 system in the September High-End Guide. I also would like to stay with 1GB .
***Case-Open to suggestions.
Thermaltake Blue Highest Xaser III
Do you think it's to expensive for a case without a PS? I mean it's a nice case but it would be nicer if it was a little cheaper.
***Power Supply(Case I posted has none)-Open to suggestions.
Antec 480 watt 120mm fan ATX 12V v2.0 power supply.
Do you think this is to much for a PS? Also am I just paying for version 2.0 connectors and are they worth it. I mean this and the case are nearly $300 together if the $30 instant rebate it gone by the end of the month.
***Dvd +-RW-Open to suggestions.
NEC 16X Double Layer DVD±RW Drive
Nice drive.
***Dvd Rom-Open to suggestions.
Haven't looked yet, but was thinking $30 for a good one.
***Hard drive-Already have a new 60GB Maxtor 7,200 Rpm to use. Will upgrade later.
***Cooling-
But no water cooling.
***Sound card-Open to suggestions.
Integrated is realy fine unless theres a good cheap card.
***Mouse & Keyboard-Open to suggestions.
Want wireless on both.
***OS-I was thinking of geting Window Xp Home OEM from Newegg here for $87, but if anyone knows of a better deal please post.
Thanks in advance.
