Heres my current PC
P4 1.8 Northwood
1 GB PC2100 RAM
MSI GeForce FX 5200 128 MB AGP (stupid stock dell mobo only supports 4x ) OC'ed to 279/472 .
40GB and 20GB HDD's
rest of the stuff is just whatever crap Dell stuck in it
Mainly used for web surfing/IM and Games of course (I don't really play/own any extremely demanding F.E.A.R or Doom 3 type games).
It's just getting a bit old, so I'm thinking about building a custom rig
.
Here's what I have so far, all from newegg/zipzoomfly
Patriot 1GB (2 x 512MB) PC3200 Dual Channel Kit - $99.99
Western Digital Caviar SE 80GB SATA 150 Hard Drive - $55.00
eVGA Geforce 6600GT 128MB PCI-E - $115.00
NEC DVD/CD combo thing (you know what I mean) - $39.99
Antec TRUEPOWERII 550W PSU - $89.99
ASUS A8N-SLI ATX AMD Motherboard - $122.00
RAIDMAX ATX-268WU Blue Computer Case With Side Panel Window - 30.50
AMD A64 3200+ s939 Venice Core - $160.00
Total comes to about $712
I'd like to possibly lower the price to the mid 600s possibly.
I was thinking about getting a cheaper PSU maybe? (need at least a 500W, because I'll probably buy another GFX card later for SLI, buy a new processor, and maybe do some overclocking )
Advice appreciated
