I figured I would make a new post in addendum to my post based on the right motherboard
I am building a system as mentioned for my brother who needs a system at a relatively low cost. The reason for this post is to get your view on the viability of this system and if there any "issues" I should be aware of before purchasing the parts.
SPECS
MOBO -- DFI LANPARTY NF4 Ultra D ( Was told to steer away from CF
CPU -- Venice 3200 ( Had an extra lying around I am donating to him)
RAM -- Ram OCZ Winbond model 1GB OCZ4001024WV3DC-K ( take a
GB out of my machine, with the hopes of not losing any speed)
VIDEO -- VGA SAPPHIRE 100186L X1950XT R
CASE -- Antec Solo Black Mid Tower Case Specs of antec case ***I am hoping this is compatible.****
PSU -- OCZ POWERSTREAM 520W ( Still looking at purchasing)
HDD -- Undecided
DVD -- Plextor PX760A
Monitorundecided
Recape
Now my questions are:
1. How does this look
2. Any future issues I should be aware of?
3. I know I am lowballing with the venice 3200 but I figure I will upgrade it at a later time.
4. Do you think if I just play games i.e. Wow with my system listed below I will see a big difference if I take 1Gb of ram out? Guess the only way is to do and tell.
5. I am playing WoW and have 2GB of ram in the machine. Do you think if I took this other GB out I would see a significant difference? I figure give him a GB and I would stay at a GB and do T1 instead of T2. Tell me what you think
6. 939 is being phased out but I figured that since I had the venice3200 I could just crank it up and he could use it as a solution for the next year.
Please critique the hell out of this.
