well, im almost off to college and i need to build myself a new computer. I could do it myself...but i dont have many connections. and ill be damned if i pay full price for everything.
I basically need everything but an OS and a monitor
here are the guidelines.
- I only have around $1300
- I want a 3.4GHz Processer ... but then again, im not sure if i want pentium IV or athlon.
- 1 gig of ram (2 512 or just 1 stick...whichevers cheaper)
- 120 gig HDD
- CD/ DVD burner
- Cool case with its own power supply.....again, if its cheaper like that.
- Most importantly, a very good video card. Some people are telling me to get the radeon 9800 XT .... but ive been hearing things about a new vid card coming out in about 1 or 2 weeks thats gonna b*tch all the other vid cards. Like its 3X better then the best vid card right now. If thats the case, im sure the price of the cards right below it are gonna drop. So ill wait a bit before i buy a vid card.
Well, i plan on building my comp in about 3 weeks, Lets see what u guys can dish out.
