With any luck, I'll be building a new computer this month. Anyway, I'd appreciate suggestions on parts. I can't go much more than the prices I've already put. I'm looking for the most performance-per-dollar.
Here's what I was thinking about getting so far,
$224 E6600
$140 ($90) Patriot eXtreme Performance 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model PDC22G6400LLK - Retail
$63 Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 (Perpendicular Recording) ST3250820AS 250GB 7200 RPM 8MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive - OEM
$90 Win XP Home
$50 ($40)COOLER MASTER Centurion 5 CAC-T05-UW Black Aluminum Bezel, SECC ATX Mid Tower Computer Case - Retail
$49.99 XCLIO GOODPOWER 500W ATX 500W Power Supply 115/230 V UL, CUL, TUV, CB, VDE, FIMKO, DEMKO, NEMKO, SEMKO - Retail
$144 MSI P6N SLI Platinum LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 650i SLI ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail
Note, I already bought a video card. Also, whatever MoBo I get must have atleast 3 PCI slots, look at my signature to see why.
