Hello everyone,
Wow, it's been awhile since I've been on this thing. Ok, I looked at the thread for getting parts for building your own PC but it seems to be out of date ( still says AMD is better and stuff).
This is for a new PC I am planning to build, I need suggestions. My budget is between $1000 - $1500 and I want a monitor with it.
Anyway, I'm planning to get a Core 2 Duo E6600 and 2-4gigs of ram. I plan to use if for anything and everything including gaming; and if it can game, I'm sure it can handle school work/ internet stuff. I'm planning to buy from Newegg.com.
Graphics: ati or nvidia? card type? model?
Case/Mobo: anything that can handle the core2duo e6600 and has good interface like usb ports in the front and stuff
Ram: 2-4 gigs
Sound: integrated or sound card? still deciding....
Monitor: i'm looking into a samsung... any suggestions? sony?
PSU: around 550watt?
Do I need to buy a heat sink or does that come with the case?
Most likely a 56k modem just in case. Windows Vista Premium.
Does the Core2Duo come with the thermal paste already on it?
This is my FIRST time building a computer so any advice would be good. Thanks.
