Firstly here is my situation..
Specs.
MoBo: A7V8X-X
GFX Card: ATI Radeon 9550
RAM: 512 MB DDR
CPU: AMD AThlon XP 2600+
Monitor: Samtron 17" (76v)
Power Supply: Not sure... (I tried figuring out how to detect it to no avail)
Sound Card Onboard SoundMAX
Hard Drive(s): SeaGate(?) Barracuda 120 GB (Primary Drive) --> Maxtor (something similar) 38GB
Optical Drive(s): One slow *** CD-RW drive --> LG 52x MAX DC-ROM
Speakers: 4 12" subs... >_> I have the rig hooked up to my receiver.
Floppy Drive: Just some floppy drive. lol
OS: Windows XP (getting corporate or some sort from a buddy >_>)
I am looking to build a new PC, leaning more heavily on PCI-E instead of AGP as ATI does. Currently I have the parts I want in mind, but I was looking for other opinions before I begin making purchases (as well as price busters).
I am currently looking to buy these parts:
CPU
GFX Card
MoBo
Case
Hard Drive
RAM
Optical Drive
Optical Drive#2
All prices listed are in Canadian, as I am from Canada, and using the canadian Tigerdirect website.
If anyone could possibly give first-hand insight on the setup, or even heresay they have heard, please leave feedback. Also, even more desireable, would be where to find these same products for cheaper.
In any case, any relative feedback is welcomed, and thank you for taking the time to read my post.
