EDIT: ACK! Sorry, I hit the post topic button and it just cleared the entry, making me think that because I navigated away from the page, it didn't post/save. Apologies for the double post. :[
1. What YOUR PC will be used for. That means what types of tasks you'll be performing.
This PC will be used primarilly for Internet, media, light gaming (older games, nothing new), and most importantly, photoshop editing.
2. What YOUR budget is. A price range is acceptable as long as it's not more than a 20% spread
Would prefer to stay around $250, once the video card has been factored in.
3. What country YOU will be buying YOUR parts from.
U.S.
4. IF YOU have a brand preference.
No brand preferences. I like Intel, but the value of AMD is winning me over at the moment.
5. If YOU intend on using any of YOUR current parts, and if so, what those parts are.
Mouse, keyboard, Monitor, DVD-RW.
6. IF YOU have searched and/or read similar threads.
Yes, this is where I found most of the deals I've listed.
7. IF YOU plan on overclocking or run the system at default speeds.
Default speeds.
8. WHEN do you plan to build it?
Before Christmas.
Here's what I have so far. You'll notice the lack of a video card, and it's because I simply don't know which one to pick:
$59.99 AMD Athlon X2 4850e 2.5GHz Socket AM2 45W Dual-Core Processor Model ADH4850DOBOX - Retail
$53.99 Foxconn A7VMX-K AM2+/AM2 AMD 780V Micro ATX AMD Motherboard - Retail
$24.99 A-DATA Value Series 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model ADQVE1A16KN - Retail
$49.99 COOLER MASTER Elite RC-330-KKR1 Black SECC ATX Mid Tower Computer Case 350W Power Supply - Retail
Total: $188.96 with Free Shipping.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
