Time to build a PC.

[desolation777]

Hi, new to the forums and thought id get the advice of the people as to parts for a new rig. Thus far, i have a case, cd/dvd drive, and a hdd. So basically im thinking:
E8400 processor
8800 gt card
600-750watt PSU
umm no idea on mobo
nor on sond card (but prob cheap)

ne suggested set ups will be a great help

ps. on 850 dollar budget

All that for $850? Prices must be coming down these days..

I would go with a USB sound system myself. I've been happy with my USB surround sound.

Ok so you dont need new case, CD DVD drives,?
id wait to get a sound card later on board is fine for now... Considering budget
I suggested 2 Gigs of ram if your running 32 bit OS 4Gb if your going 64bit os or Vista


here is what I got for that budget
