well this is my first post, looks like theres some good advice to be grappled at on these forums.....heres the story.
got £300 for b day, job and next birthday = £450
buying great gaming pc for £750, prob bout $1100 or summat.
i am using family pc downstairs, i want my own gamer upstairs, i have a bt voyager 105 adsl (CRAP!) and need broadband on both. i.e. wireless
heres what i thought.
Cpu = amd athlon dual core 2x 3800 = £205
Motherboard ATX,pci-e,4gb ram = £50
Ram = 2gb = £110
Graphics Card = x1600 pro 512mb = £105
Floppy Disc = 1.44mb = £7
DVD +/- Rw = £26
Hard Drive = 160gb = £50
Case = XION solaris Green Led = £31
PSU = 600W ebuyer extra value = £18
Mouse = raptor gaming = £15
Keyboard = Logitech delux = £7
Speakers = logitech s200 = £17
CRT = dell m783c = £46
Misc. = desk + wireless router + wireless adapter = £70
thats an ish price up
need help chosing motherboard, and advice as to if i should spend more than £50 on it as i think it deserves more with the stuff put into it. i already have my headset and mic, i also need advice on the wireless issue, router and adpter recommendations. and help /links would be usefull.
p.s. im 16 so dont moan if im asking too much and also do i need some paste or summat to attatch cpu and stop it overheating, oh yea on that note ill just get some case fans for cooling, although i think that case has 2 already, that shud be enuf, also im not too boffed about overclocking just yet.
