A week ago, I decided that I needed to start building my own computers from now on (being cheaper and with less bottlenecks).
I gleaned a set of hardware componants off of a blog that seemed to be of reasonable quality and in my price-range. I was wondering if I could get some input as to their value and quality.
Btw, this comp. would be used mostly for gaming.
Price range: up to $1200
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 3000+
Mobo: MSI K8N Neo4-F NVIDIA Socket 939 ATX Motherboard
Memory: Corsair Value Select Dual Channel 1024MB PC3200 DDR 400MHz Memory
Hard Drive: Hitachi Deskstar 7K250 80gb (might go with something a bit larger)
DVD burner: NEC ND3540A / 16x8x16x DVD+RW
Graphics Card: Connect 3D Radeon X850 XT Platinum
Case: ThermalTake Tsunami Series Aluminum ATX Mid-Tower Case
Forgot to mention the power supply: Coolmax CR-450
If this setup looks like crap, feel free to tell me and suggest other alternatives.
Thanks.
