Hey all, getting rid of my crappy old pc and building a new rig. Been doing a lot of reading and stuff and I think I'm going to stick with Socket 754 until PCI-e or whatever comes in the next year to two years. I'm going to still use my old vid card (geforce 6800gt) and my old sound card (sb audigy). So I'm really just getting a new case, mobo, cpu, ram, and hd.
Edit: CPU was changed (Clawhammer to Newcastle) thanks to jpeyton. Also going to go with the Antec Sonata instead of the originally planned Lian-Li. RAM changed to Mushkin basics to save money.
$98.00 Antec Sonata: http://www.newegg.com/app/view...=11-129-127&depa=0
$62.00 Seagate 80gb HD: http://www.newegg.com/app/view...amp;manufactory=BROWSE
$173.00 Mushkin Dual Pack 1GB PC3200 RAM: http://www.newegg.com/app/View...=20-146-299&depa=0
$74.00 Chaintech VNF3-250 Motherboard (Socket 754): http://www.newegg.com/app/view...=13-152-043&depa=0
$245.00 AMD Athlon 64 3400+: http://www.newegg.com/app/view...description=19-103-484
Total: $652.00
The price difference between the 3200+ and the 3400+ was like around $50 so I just went for the 3400+. Do you all have any suggestions? Maybe cheaper prices from a different vendor?
