Starting to purchase items for new build

[amol]

Is a winnie 3000+ for $155 good? I don't want the price to go down in a few weeks, considering that I won't even be able to FULLY build the machine for about 2-3 weeks. . . but you gotta start somewhere . . . lol

Yeah I'm also looking at building. And that price is really good, it wont get much cheaper. The higher end ones will, but thats about as low as you'll see it for quite some time.

 

[amol]

ok, so i will go ahead with the purchase

 

[housecat]

take a look at my thread please

but ya im considering nearly the exact same thing. dont worry man.. thats a killer price on the 90nm part for retail.

you simply cannot go wrong with that part.

now my post, (here in gen hardware).. I'm more confused about.

but 3000+ A64s are GOLDEN, overclockable.. AWESOME price. can't beat it.
if you burn it up, who cares! and if you dont burn it up, you have extra cash when dual core comes!

seriously, you cant go wrong.

and if the price does drop, it wont be much at all. nothing you'll lose sleep over.

how could it drop much? its at a measly $155?

 

[amol]

yes, with shipping (no tax, etailer is in GA) it came out to $161

i also got 4 case badges and 3 yr warranty

i'm on my way to building my first computer

edit: housecat, you're right, if it drops in price, it will probably only be $5 or something . . .

3000+ newcastles s754 are $146, so . . . yeah

Congrats man!

My first true build was a Athlon 700, and even though it was challenging at times.. I learned alot and it was really cool getting a really fast system for really cheap.

that's why i'm building

that, and dell doesnt offer AMD cpus

if they did, dell would rock.

until then, its just "OK" for those too scared to build.

ive seen some decent deals come out of dell, but not often
