I have set aside 700$ or so for a new conroe build. I saw these lil guys hit some high bench marks so I want to get me a decent setup! I have the ram already, but am trying to figure out what to get! I have a 2005FPW that I will be using.
I am a pretty avid gamer so nothing TOO cheap (BF2, CS:S, WOW, WC3TFT, Q4, etc) . I have been watching conroe build threads, so here is mine, help me out people. I bought the ram, knowing that conroe's and the boards they sit in are sassy with the RAM, so I am trying to build the PC around the RAM I have right now. Please let me know what you think!
CPU - E6400 - 256$ shipped
RAM - CORSAIR XMS2 PC2 5400 - already have
MOTHERBOARD - MSI p965 Neo-F 106$ shipped
CASE - PC-7B 95$ shipped
VIDEO CARD - X1800XT - 206$ shipped
PSU - Fortron 450W 58$ shipped
HARDDRIVE - Seagate 320gb 7200RPM 3.0GB/S 16MB CACHE - 94$ shipped
TOTAL SO FAR - 819
will be updating as suggessions and ideas given or I add something!
