Hey guys, I am looking to buy the system below. However, before I go ahead and buy this from a custom shop, I would like all your expert opinions.
Firstly, I am getting the 9600XT because it is a lot cheaper then the 9800Pro. However, I will probably just upgrade it when I need too, with the next-gen cards. I am trying to keep costs low so I can't just spring on the best card.
Secondly, I am getting the P4 over the AMD, as I am not going to overclock my system (using it for school, don't want to risk burning the system out).
Well here it is, any comments on things I could switch? Any help would be appreciated:
CPU Intel Pentium 4 Processor 2.8GHz FSB800 512KB H. Threading
Memory 512MB DDR400 PC3200 Memory (Major Brand)
Mother Board ASUS P4S800 Mother Board
Hard Drive 1 Maxtor 120GB 7200RPM UDMA 133 IDE 8MB Cache
Optical Drive 1 LG Combo Drive 52X CD-RW 16X DVD-ROM
Video ATI Radeon 9600 XT 128MB DDR, AGP8X DVI TV-Out
Audio Creative Sound Blaster Live! 5.1
Network Card Onboard 10/100 Mbps Network Card
Case Noblesse Case
Power Supply 400 Watt Power Supply
Operating System Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition (OEM)
