My actual second build

[Hussein19891]

Like I said before I was going for a Micro ATX case, cause dealing with a Full size ATX case has been annoying for me. Well anyways here is my actual second build. Do not ask about my Hard Drive, a DVD drive, or ram because I got those covered. But here is my actual build for less then a measly 250$, plus I got a non-kosher OS so don't ask about that either. I really hope that this time around things won't get as hot as they do with this one because its a 90nm 89 watt consuming CPU.

Please tell me if things will fit properly and etc. But I m like 6$ within breaking my budget so don't advise anything too expensive.

*Other thoughts* I m going to be adding 2 gigs of ram and a 250 gig hard drive with XP Royal. So honestly I think it'll be the most kick *** budget computer ever.

Wait!!!! I own that case and it is very good. Get another powersupply!

I would strongly consider going towards an intel build but it is your choice.

Intel is alright, but I m not harsh on my CPU's so AMD seems to fit my needs. Don't really need much power or a better video card cause its not suppose to be for hard core gaming. In the beginning I only really wanted it so my Bro could play his little Maple Story without any problems. Which my old Dell GX150 couldn't handle with its on board graphics (thanks to my Dads friend stealing the video card).

Ok. Well a better power supply is still a must.

Take a look at these:

Newegg.com - Thermaltake TR2 W0070RUC ATX 430W Power Supply 115/ 230 V - Retail
Newegg.com - FSP Group SAGA+ 400R ATX12V 400W Power Supply 120/220 - 240v NEMKO, TUV, CSA, IEC, UL, CE - Retail

or, i guess, this one:
Newegg.com - Rosewill Stallion Series Single 12cm Ball Bearing Fan RD400-2-SB ATX V2.2 400W Power Supply 115V/230 V UL, CSA, TUV, FCC - Retail

anyway, the case takes a full size power supply. As a general rule, don't get a power supply under $30 (and that's pushing it) unless it is on a blow out sale.

Eh, well the thing is that I already ordered. But as far as the power supply not fitting my case. That I m a bit skeptical about because I have the same case as well (brothers computer) and it seems like it'll fit alright. But I guess only time will tell. If the case is Micro-ATX and the PSU is Micro-ATX I m taking a safe bet and expecting it to work.
