Hey,
I've compiled a list of components for my first build computer.
Please tell me what you think and suggest any improvements, baring in mind I have quite a tight budget and still need to find a monitor (Looking for a TFT between £200 - £300, USD $370 - $550).
Currently the following components come to around £700 (USD - $1,285) and I'm looking at my total budget to be no more than £1,000 (USD - $1,835), including a monitor.
Intel Pentium 4 "Prescott" 3.0GHz (800FSB) with HT Technology
Abit IS7-E 'Springdale' (Socket 478) Motherboard
Corsair 512MB DDR XMS2700LLPT TwinX (2x256MB) Platinum CAS2
Maxtor DiamondMax Plus9 Serial ATA 80GB 8MB Cache
Connect3D ATI Radeon 9800 Pro 128MB TV-Out/DVI
Sony CRX320E 52x32x52x16 CDRW/DVD Combi Drive (Silver)
OcUK (company which I plan to get it from) Value Floppy Drive - Silver
CoolerMaster Centurion - Silver (No PSU, See below)
Q-Tec 550W Dual Fan Gold PSU
Zalman CNPS7000A-AlCu Ultra-Quiet CPU Cooler
2 x Zalman ZMF1 80mm Silent Case fan - 3 pin
Keyboard + mouse - Creative Desktop 6000
Total - £696.85 (USD - $1,279.90)
Thanks
