What do you think about this Pc

[SoundTheSurrender]

This is a build I want for my college pc. Its gonna be cheap because I don't want to spend money. I am conficted on what case to get still but here is what I have.

AM2 Sempron 2800+ - 35.95

Biostar AM2 Motherboard - 72.99

Biostar 7600 GS 139.99

G skill 1024 MB DDR2 667 - 68.99

G skill 512 MB DDR2 667 - 34.99

Seagate Sata 3.0 80 Gigabyte Drive - 47.99

Cool Master Case - 45.99

Thermal Take 430 Watt PSU - 39.99

ViewSonic Wide Screen - 199.99

Comes out to 686.97


I'm interested in this case a bit more for the stronger material.

Chenming Tower Case - 75.99

Comes out to 716.87

I'm not a hardcore gamer althought I play a lot. I've been only playing WC3, Counterstrike Source, Oblivion and Titan Quest. I'm happy with my current system playing these games and I'm not really looking forward to any new games... Maybe Chernobyl, but thats about it as of now

My current system btw is a Asus nforce 2 motherboard, Amd 2500+, 1.5 gigs of ram, geforce 6600GT

I guess I could wait for Conroe or the price drop, but I don't think it will affect me that much?

I say wait it out. We don't know the full extent of the amds price cuts but I do think for a few bucks more you could get better hardware. The x3800 is going to be like 120 if I am not mistaken. Who knows how much more a sempy would go down.

I would wait on the cpu and ram. I am sure you can find some good deals on ddr ram in the fs/ft forum after the new platforums saturate.

Hey thanks for the suggestion but thats socket 754.. I don't really want to use phasing out stuff 🙁 I think I'll get that video card though, thanks.

of course he could get one now, as prices for A64 chips go down, more people are willing to buy it, more demand for the DDR. Then sure the DDR prices will go up with the demand.

you could always switch the motherboard to a 939 and so for the chip. It doesn't hurt one bit.

Well I'll check it out.

Thanks.
