    Ok, here's another 'build me a computer' thread...

    Please use TigerDirect and/or Newegg only, unless you know anyplace cheeper.

    Here's what I want:

    Motherboard: PCI-E or AGP, SATA, Socket 939 or other (must be AMD 64)
    CPU: AMD 64-bit
    Memory: 1gb (either single or dual RAM)
    Hard Drive: 2x 200+gb (mirror RAID)
    CD/DVD: DVD Burner w/ Dual Layer
    Video: any card w/ PCI-E (SLI is not needed) and 256mb
    Monitor: any 15'-19' flat screen LCD monitor
    Case: any case with solid siding. If it includes Water Cooling or A/C, that would be great. Also, if it has a front door, that would be great too. I would like front usb if possible.
    PSU: a Modular PSU

    I already have a sound card that I will use.

    remember, I want the ultimate cheapest price...

    My budget would be about $500-700 USD

    edit: I am a low gaming person, only play a few games, and I do not need the highest Vid card.. I just basically make websites and PS stuff.

    Monitor - 220
    17" LCD
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16824198001

    Case - 55
    Aspire X-DreamerII
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16811144026

    Mobo - 81
    MSI, ATX, PCI-E
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16813130491

    Processor - 152
    AMD 3200+ Venice Core
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16819103535

    RAM - 120
    1GB(2x512MB) Corsair XMS
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16820145450

    Thats already like 630 :censored:
    I could be able to do this w/o the monitor...

    But to finish it out...

    HDD - 100
    Western Digital 250GB
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16822144417

    Vid Card - 140
    Gigabyte 6600GT
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16814125156

    Total is 868 which is kinda over but this is a pretty solid PC imo, should be able to do the stuff you want for a while. This is also w/o Windows so i dunno...save up i guess =P


    But its going to be insanely hard to get a comp with the specs u want at 700 bux...
