Hello,
I am going to be building my first computer within the next two months. I have a $1500 budget that must include a monitor, keyboard, speakers, mouse, and a printer. This computer will be used mainly for gaming. I have done some research and have come up with the following build. Please feel free to critique this build and make any suggestions that you see fit.
ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe Socket 939 NVIDIA nForce4 SLI ATX AMD Mobo
Seagate Barracuda 7200.8 ST3200826AS 200GB 7200 RPM Serial ATA150 Hard Drive
CORSAIR XMS 1GB (2 x 512MB) 184-Pin DDR SDRAM DDR 400 (PC 3200) Unbuffered Dual Channel Kit
AMD Athlon 64 3200+ Venice 1GHz
SAPPHIRE 100130VIVOL Radeon X800GTO2 256MB
Creative Sound Blaster Audigy2 ZS
I figure I will leave 300 to spend on a monitor and around 150 for dvd-rw drive, keyboard, mouse, and speakers. Other graphics cards that I was looking at were the x800pro and the nvidia 6800gt. I also need some help on a good case/psu. I was looking at some antec cases; possibly this one: Antec
