Hi guys,
a friend of mine who isn't exactly a computer expert asked me to help him with building a new PC, mainly for gaming. His budget is 1k-1.2usd.
After a few hours on newegg.com I came up with the following build:
Motherboard: 1 GIGABYTE GA-M59SLI-S5 Socket AM2 NVIDIA nForce 590 SLI
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ Windsor 2.2GHz
Video:EVGA 320-P2-N811-AR GeForce 8800GTS 320MB 320-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16
Ram: Patriot eXtreme Performance 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) 2.2V 4-4-4-12
Monitor:LG L192WS-BN Black 19" 5ms Widescreen LCD Monitor 300 cd/m2 700:1
HD Western Digital Caviar SE16 WD2500KS 250GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive
PSU: Rosewill RP550-2 ATX 2.01 550W Power Supply
Dvd drive, aluminum case, k&m.
Total after a couple of rebates came to $1169.
I'd appreciate any input on this, my main concern is X2 4200, will it work fine with 8800GTS? Unfortunately, E6600 was out of the budget range. I made sure that the memory is compatible with the motherboard. This memory had very, very positive reviews, are the timings ok?
I thought it was a good idea to make sure this is a solid system before recommending anything to him, so pelase, feel free to comment.
Thanks in advance.
