Hi All:
Finally, its that time of the year when I upgrade my system (but o'course its that year when I am upgrading it after 3 FULL YEARS!!) - so I decided to update myself with the new lingo around here... and read through the posts here - and now have tentatively decided on a few things. Just need to pass it through you gurus:
MB: ASUS "P4P800 Deluxe"LINK - $126 (newegg)
(anything better in this price range - can move +/- $20 on the MOBO)
Case: RaidMax Model:278WSP(Silver)LINK - $40 (newegg)
(I already have ANTEC PSU 350Watts from the current system)
CPU: Pentium 4/ 2.8C GHz HTT LINK - $205 (newegg)
(Just wondering if I should save another $35 and get 2.6Ghz instead!!)
Memory: 1x 512 DDR PC2700 LINK - $80 (crucial #CT6464Z335)
(BTW, is there a preference for mushkin versus crucial? - should I even bother looking around?)
Video: Nvidia Geforce4 TI4200 128MB LINK - $129 (newegg)
(Wonder if I can get it someplace else cheaper)
So what do you guys think about this? any help will be highly appreciated in terms of spec modifications or anything w.r.t. the place I should get it from (cheaper).
thanks much!!
