Will This Work??

[97BBlackZ]

I decided to built a computer for myself and a friend gave me a list so i went and picked out what was close to the list and seemed to match and this is what i came up with. The computer is going to be used mostly for gaming but i'm not hvy into it and my limit was 600+/-.

So does everything look alright?? I'm not sure if i'm going to be running lunix or window or not at this point either.
I also didnt know what harddrive to get but i would like to keep it around 250GB? and 100 bucks but cheaper the better..

The network card is wasted money, along with a sound card for this tight budget. You should save money on the harddrive and get 80gb or so.

All the links are dead btw.

With the money you save, get a 6600gt instead. ATI haven't performed as well as they should with the X series.

You don't have a motherboard.

If the case comes with a PSU, it will be rubbish, so you should spend money on getting a good one.

You might save money by ordering your RAM from ZipZoomFly.com - you get free shipping...

the amd 3200+ venice is only 150 dollars which is newer and cheaper

well i fixed all the link
And is there anywhere i can find a motherboard combo with the one i want??

And i don't know that much bout computer anymore so i hate to ask what a 6600gt is...

 

[PZEROFGH]

a 6600GT is a graphics card..which is way better then ATI X*** series

lol well i guess i should go with the s939 then.

Honestly a friend on another board gave me this list.
AMd 64 3200+ + motherboard + fan = 210.00
1GB ram = 99.00
Dual Layer DVD -RW = 36.60
250GB EIDE Drive = 88.00
Video card - Geforce 6600 AGP 256 = 118.00
or
Video Card - Radeon X700 PCI Express 256 MB = 110.00
ATX Case/500 watt power supply = 30.00
Audigy 4 Sound card = 59.00
Wired Network card = 12.00
or
Wireless Network card = 30.00.

to go by and he didn't have time to put anything together so i just decided to give it a shot

+Optical Drives? (30$)
+Misc? (20$)

With the opticals and misc, it will exceed your budget by 70$ . You may not want to go this route, but if you do, you wont be disatisfied.
I assume including shipping, it will be about 700$

 

[97BBlackZ]

sweet man thanks!

I'll prob just go with that unless someone can come up with something better. And what bout a network card and cd rom drive?

but what will the optical drivers do for me? and what bout the misc stuff what would that include..??

Also i have a 40 GB hard drive from the one i got with for my ps2 that they sold for it. Is it possible to use that has a 2nd hard drive??

I already have key board, mouse, monitor ect as well.
