I'm trying to build up a list of parts for a new pc I'm going to build when i get paid, I'm going to be using it for pretty much everything, games, occasionally a web server, college work, recording, sound editing etc + i would like to try and over clock it .
Here is the current spec I've got:
Motherboard
DFI Lanparty UT RDX200CF-DR SKT939 CROSSFIRE Dual PCI-E ATI RD480+SB450 Chipset Dual DDR400 SATA ATX
£149.98 ($257.32 USD)
CPU
AMD Athlon 64 (San Diego) 3700 CPU Skt 939 San Diego Retail inc Heat Sink Fan 3 Years Warranty
£161.30 ($276.75 USD)
Hard Drive
Western Digital WD740GD 74GD "Raptor" 10,000RPM SATA/150 8MB Cache - OEM
£117.48 ($201.56 USD)
RAM
Corsair (VS512MB533D2), 512MB, DDR2, PC4200, 533MHz, 64Mx64, non-ECC, 240pin DIMM, unbuffered, CL4
£66.20 for 2 ($113.58 USD)
Graphics
Xfx GeForce 6600GT PCI-E 128MB DDR3 TV+Dual DVI
£101.78 ($174.61 USD)
CPU Fan
Zalman CNPS9500-LED Aero Flower Cooler (Socket 478, LGA775, 754, 939 and 940)
£37.94 ($65 USD)
Total: £634.68 ($1,089.76 USD)
I don't really want to spend much more than that, would be nice to be able to knock off about £100.
Couple of questions
Does everything look ok with it?
Do the prices look ok? or am i getting ripped off?
Is it worth getting a PCI-E graphics card or just get AGP?
Should i get a SCSI drive like a Seagate Cheetah X15-36LP 18.4Gb instead of the WD Raptor?
I wouldn't mind trying to reduce the price a bit so is there anything unnecessary?
What the difference between
DFI LANPARTY nF4 SLI-DR SKT939 - Retail Box
And
DFI Lanparty UT RDX200CF-DR SKT939 CROSSFIRE Dual PCI-E ATI RD480+SB450 Chipset Dual DDR400 SATA ATX
?
Any help would be gratefully appreciated
