New computer

[Churnabog]

Hi.
I'm building a computer, and want to know if all these parts are good. Just making sure everything's compatable, and I'm not getting ripped off on parts. I'm on a $1000 CND budget. Thank you.

What the hell is with the memory? Only one stick of 512MB!?! You get get a 1GB dual-channel Value kit for that price.

Keep in mind those prices are in Canadian. I found a Mushkin 1GB dual-channel. Think that'll do?

where r u buying these from churnabog?

 

[Churnabog]

I know a place in the city that sells most of these parts, but I',m getting the prices from www.newegg.com.

 

[Churnabog]

Any tips? anyone?

 

[nick1985]

you want a gig of ram. and low timing "XMS" stuff doesnt improve performance on the athlon 64

 

[Churnabog]

Alright, so I'll go with the Mushkin then. Double RAM, same price. So other than the RAM is everything good?

 

[Churnabog]

Dammit. I just realized something. The 2 mobos that I have it down to
(DFI nF4-DAGF Socket 939 NVIDIA nForce4 ATX AMD Motherboard
and
MSI K8N Neo4-F Socket 939 NVIDIA nForce4 ATX AMD Motherboard)
have no AGP slots for my video card. How do you think a GECUBE GC-RX600XTG-C3 Radeon X600XT 128MB DDR PCI Express x16 Video Card would perform?

 

[Churnabog]

So I have been told that is the dumbest card I could buy. I guess a better choice would be a
GIGABYTE GV-NX66T128D Geforce 6600GT 128MB 128-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 Video Card. What do you guys think?

Well 6600GT is the better buy 1GB PC3200 nowdays. But if I were you I'd wait and get a better next gen computer 😛

Ummm, I'd be perfectly fine with the computer that I put together here. I'm running a 800mhz Duron with a VooDoo4. I'd be fine with just about any computer right now. I can't even play NFSU/C&C Generals. -_-
