So I am in the market for a new system. I have been out of the system building market for the past few years, so my knowledge is a tad bit rusty. I got a budget of about 1000 and looking to purchase everything through Newegg.com(they have the best deals that I have found). I think I have laid out what I want, but would like some additional thoughts on it.
Processor:
AMD Phenom 9650 2.3GHz Socket AM2+ 95W Quad-Core Processor Model HD9650WCGHBOX
MotherBoard:
ASUS M4A78 PRO AM2+/AM2 AMD 780G HDMI ATX AMD Motherboard
RAM:
G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model F2-8500CL5D-4GBPK
Monitor:
ASUS VK266H Black 25.5" 2ms(GTG) HDMI Widescreen LCD Monitor
I think I am good as far as compatibility. Also the motherboard is expandable up to 16gb of RAM. I am going to go with the on board video card which is ATI Radeon HD 3200. From what I can read online, it looks like it will play most current games such as Crysis. I can always get a better video card if it does not perform well. The big chunk of money is coming from the ASUS 26inch Monitor.(It seems like a really good deal, I read some pretty good reviews). I checked the the video card and it appears to support the resolution.
With the above items and a few others like keyboard, mouse, DVD/CD Burner, and Case w/Power Supply the total is going to be approx, $940. It looks like I will get about $90 bucks in mail-in rebates so out of pocket total will be just under $900 bucks. What do you guys think?
