I was going to buy a machine from Ibuypower.com, but I really did want to build my own, so here it is
$352.96 === Athlon 64 X2 3800+
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16819103562
$128.00 === DFI LANPARTY UT nF4 Ultra-D Socket 939 NVIDIA nForce4 Ultra ATX AMD Motherboard
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16813136152
$216.00 === CORSAIR ValueSelect 2GB (2 x 1GB) 184-Pin
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16820145579
$134.99 === eVGA GeForce 6600 GT 128MB DDR PCI-E
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1351110&CatId=0
$69.99 === seagate 250GB 7200RPM 8MB Buffer Hard Drive
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/searchtools/item-Details.asp?EdpNo=1265028&sku=THD-250A
$89.00 === OCZ 520w Modstream PSU
http://www.monarchcomputer.com/Merc...re_Code=M&Product_Code=100162&AFFIL=pricewatc
$30.00 === Cd/DVD Optical Drive (depends on case)
$17.25 === KEYBOARD/Mouse/Speakers (I'll get better ones later)
Total: $1,038
I need help on a few things. I'm looking for a case that looks good, but is also good for beginners. I have no idea how to place a motherboard, fans, or PSU inside a case >.<...
Also, I'm looking for a good cooling system (maybe liquid) I really do want to overclock the CPU to at least 2.4 Ghz(but I'm worried about the other parts as well)
Thanks a lot for the help
