newb build

[esteban1125]

Hey everyone,

I've just started to create a new comp. Have no experience but looking to change that.

here's the hardware i was looking at so far. lemme know what you guys think.

Video Card

cpu

mobo

case

HD

memory

OS

cdrw

I will most likely get a better cdrw drive later but i just wanted something that i could use at the moment. Well there's my build. lemme know where to improve. I want to stick around the $1000 range if possible.

Thanks

Your Graphics card wont work with you motherboard because your motherboard doesnÂ’t have a PCI-Express slot only a AGP slot. Also rather get a 3000+ or 3200+ and then get better memory.

changes

Alright, well i made some changes. Didnt realize the PCI.

For Video Card,

Video Card

Memory

What would you recommend?

Thanks

To me the best memory out there will be this.

These memory modules are based on samsungs tccd chips and OC dam well.

I would get a better case, and why woud you want to get a 3000 or a 3200..? The 3500 is socket 939 and alot better.

 

[neosteve]

Codeine the 3500+ is really the same thing as the 3000+ or the 3200+ but just higher clocked. The 3500+ has the exact same chip as other and wont make such a big overlcoking difference at all so it would make better sense just to buy a 3000+ or 3200+ and get better memory or something else.

both 3000+, and 3200+ have 939 sockets also available if your on the budget your on. I would recomend get the 3000+, or the 3200+ and get better memory, or graphics card

add on

I was taking a look on newegg and it seems there isnt too much of a difference between the prices of 3200+ and 3500+. i believe $40. So i was thinking of keeping that. I will upgrade the memory to the one recommended.

However, what type of case would be good to use? Also should i get a power supply also?

Thanks

you case comes with a 500w PSU (power supply unit)

You are going to have some killer ram there.

As for what type of case i say any kind is ok as long as it has a few fans with it to cool your system down. I would recommend the Thermaltake Tsunami Dream case just because i got one and it does very well to keep my system cool.

What power supply do you already have?

If you donÂ’t have a power supply already I would recommend the OCZ Power Stream Series also make sure you get over 300W to meet your system requirement safely.

Edit: I never saw the case you choose before. The one you choose should work perfectly.
