ok heres a list of what im not upgrading on my PC:
sound blaster audigy platinum
32x CD-RW
24x DVD-rom
100GB SATA HDD
floppy
PCI firewire card
keyboard, mouse, monitor
and here is what i am upgrading:
item from to
processor P4 2.0 GHz P4 2.4GHz or 2.6GHz @800MHz
mobo Generic mobo MSI 865pe NEO2-FIS2R
case Crap case ???
memory 1GB (pc 2700) 2GB (pc 2700)
DVD+/-RW none ???
CD-ROM none ???
Video GeForce 2 ???
ok, heres the deal, i need help with
a) what brands of memory, DVD+/-RW, CD-ROM, and case i should get, and where they are cheap
b) where i should get my mobo & proc i know exactly what i want, so i just want the cheapest place, (btw i want reatail box only, no OEM or Refurb)
i dont want to spend over $50 on a case, and i dont care what it looks like, as long as it has 4 x 5.25" bays, and at least 1 x external 3.5" and 2 x internal 3.5" and at least 400w PSU
so far ive found my mobo for $140 at the cheapest place (retail box) if you can find it cheaper, thats great for me
i cant decide between the 2 procs, if i can get the 2.6GHz for under $180, ill go with it, otherwise im going with the 2.4
i dont want to spend over $150 on memory, and it has to be pc2700, or it aint even worth looking at
i want a DVD+/-RW and i dont want to spend over $200, it has to be internal, fastest possible would be great
i want a CD-ROM, just because they are faster for games (if i got a 56x CD-ROM, itll be faster than my 48x CD-RW) and i dont want to use my CD-RW or DVD-ROM for gaming, i dont want to burn them up, id rather replace a cheap CD-ROM
any help would be great, thanks in advance
