I'm taking my old Socket A build and upgrading it. After having problems with the BIOS, and it resetting all the time, it's about time I upgrade it, and put it to some use. My current setup :
Soyo Dragon Ultra KT400
AMD Athlon XP 2400+
512MB Mushkin PC2700
Western Digital 80GB
Connect3D ATI 9200SE 128MB
LG DVD+/-RW
Some off brand 400W PSU
I'm looking to upgrade most of it, besides the hard drive, and the optical drive. Looking to spend under $150 shipped, as it's only for watching DVDs/AVIs, and backing up current DVDs. I've looked around Newegg, and found some hardware that I would like to give a shot. Just lookin' to see if there are any suggestions that can be made to the list? New possible setup :
ASRock ALiveNF6P
AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+
OCZ Vista Upgrade 2GB (2 x 1GB) PC2 6400
Sunbeam 480W PSU
The PSU I'm not so sure about, because it is cheap, and you get what you pay for, plus if I do decide to upgrade the graphics, I would probably have to upgrade the PSU.
