Hey everyone, Im building a computer for a friend for the first time in 4 years and everything is quite a bit different now than it was back then (actually I think its gotten easier but who knows)... I was wondering if I could get some help picking out a Case/PS/MB/Processor.
I only want to spend $600 or so not including monitor.
Im figuring on $40 for sound card (Live Value), $20 for CD-Rom, $100 for hard drive, $60 for RAM, $50 for video, and thats about it.. right? What about fans?
Depending on price I may get a DVD drive instead of CDROM and maybe a better sound video, but for now lets say using the amount above thats $270 plus the cost of a floppy drive, a fan, and some cables. That leaves about $300 for the Case, power supply, motherboard, and processor. Im thinking an Athlon 1Ghz at a minimum. Fire away!
