Well, my aunt/uncle's PC crapped out today (CPU burned up; when I tried booting it up w/out the case, I could smell something getting hot; was an old AMD slot processor, heh). So, I told them that I could probly build them a decent PC for better than what they could get with a Dell or HP. So here's kinda of a list I whipped up quick:
Case:
Newegg.com - iStarUSA Elegant Storm S-9B-ROHS Black Aluminum / Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case - Retail or Newegg.com - COOLER MASTER Centurion 5 CAC-T05-UW Black Aluminum Bezel , SECC Chassis ATX Mid Tower Computer Case - Retail
CPU:
intel: Newegg.com - Intel Pentium E2200 Allendale 2.2GHz 1MB L2 Cache LGA 775 65W Dual-Core Processor - Retail
amd: Newegg.com - AMD Athlon 64 X2 4000+ Brisbane 2.1GHz 2 x 512KB L2 Cache Socket AM2 65W Dual-Core Processor - Retail
mobo:
intel: Newegg.com - GIGABYTE GA-P35-DS3L LGA 775 Intel P35 ATX All Solid Capacitor Intel Motherboard - Retail
amd: Newegg.com - GIGABYTE GA-MA69GM-S2H AM2 AMD 690G HDMI Micro ATX AMD Motherboard - Retail
RAM:
Newegg.com - G.SKILL 1GB 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Desktop Memory - Retail
HDD:
Newegg.com - Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 ST3160815AS 160GB 7200 RPM 8MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive - OEM
GPU:
Newegg.com - EVGA 256-P2-N751-TR GeForce 8600GT 256MB 128-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 SLI Supported Video Card - Retail
PSU:
Newegg.com - CORSAIR CMPSU-450VX ATX12V V2.2 450W Power Supply 90 - 264 V UL, CUL, CE, CB, FCC Class B, TUV, CCC, C-tick - Retail
It's main use is going to be internet browsing, IM chatting, and schoolwork. Don't really need anything fancy; How does this list look? Anything I should change? The less the price, the better. Since this is just a basic PC, would it be smarter to go with the Intel or AMD setup?
Thanks for the help guys, appreciate it =).
