Hi I am planning on building a new computer within the next week or so and need some advice on choosing parts. I am not trying to build a top of the line gaming machine. Here's what I've chosen out so far:
CPU: Intel Pentium D 840 $99.99 after rebate
Motherboard: Abit SG80DC $50
Video Card: Diamond S120 Radeon 9550 $40 after rebate
HD: Western Digital Caviar SE16 250GB $58.99 after rebate
Ram: 2 gig 3200ddr $146.99
So, that's what i got so far. All I need left is a power supply, case and a heatsink fan. Any suggestions? I saw a Ultra 400w power supply that was free after rebate. Would that be good enough and not kill my computer? I'm also kind of iffy about the motherboard. Do you think agp would suffice or is pci-e a must? don't know yet but most likely some random one thats around $30 or so. Anyways I'm trying to keep the cost around $500 or so and if you guys have any suggestions i'd really appreciate it. Thanks!
