Gaming computer

[Hey its Me]

I'm planning on building a new computer, for gaming, and I need some advice on what parts to get.

I already know what case/power supply/CD-R/HDD im getting

I need the following:

• Mothboard
• Video Card
• Sound Card
• Network Card
• Processor (AMD only)
• Memory

No monitor/mouse/keyboard/printer/etc.

Budget is $500-$600. But, of course, I want to minimize cost as much as possible.

any good references?

for 500-600, you will have a gaming computer, but i beg you not to even install any games from this year or the years to come hehe, perhaps try to get a little more money?

 

[Hey its Me]

ok, I got a MoBo, Video, and SoundCard, and nevermind the memory picked out...

Mobo: ASUS A7N8X-VM
Video: ATI 9800 128M
Sound: SoundBlaster Audigy LS

any tips on a networking card? i think i know what processor im getting too...

That asus board already has a networking card for you.

 

[Hey its Me]

Here's my spending plan:

Case < $35
Motherboard < $120 M
SoundCard < $80
Network < $80
HardDrive 80GB < $100
CPU < $100

Thats a total of < $515

the 9800 alone is almost half your budget
