This will be my first computer build and I have picked out some parts that I would like. I would just like to hear any suggestions for different things with around the same price. It's going to sorta be a mid-range computer [poor HS student], mostly gaming and other normal stuff. Case - Cooler Master C5 PSU - Antec SP-500w [already own] GFX Card - eVGA 6600GT 128mb AGP [already own] RAM - Corsair Value Select 512mb + Corsair 512mb I already own Motherboard - ASRock 939Dual-SATA2 ATX AMD [when I plan to upgrade from AGP to PCI-E] CPU - AMD Athlon 64 3200+ or a 3500+ for $50 more Hard Drive - WD Raptor 74GB 3.5" 10,000 RPM -optional- Fan/HS - Thermaltake Big Typhoon + Arctic Silver 5 Thermal Compound + extra fans to replace stock ones [might just stick with stock to save some money] Sound Card - Creative Sound Blaster Audigy2 ZS ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Any suggestions for changes? Thanks
In a month, maybe less, new CPU's will be out, so that may be lowering the price for you a bit I dont think75 gb will be enough for you. Try to get another one thats like, 180+.. just dont get a maxtor
Thanks for the CPU tip The Hard Drive I listed was going to be used for Windows, Software, etc.. i have another Hard Drive I'll use for movies/Music and other files
how much are u willing to spend? if you're gonna do a pretty big upgrade, u should sell your 6600 and get a PCI e one.
Very good picks but here are my suggestions, keep the 3200 and get the new 74gb raptor http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16822136033 comes with 16mb cache and NCQ OR drop the raptor, and get this http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?...N82E16822144701 and a 3700+.
