Was wondering if anyone could help me pick out a few components. My budget is about 800 bucks - though I'd prefer to go less so technically it isnt a super high performance pc but rather a solid performer. Wont be overclocking, wont be playing the most recent intense games.
Here's what I had in mind:
mobo 3 options:
MSI K8N

ASUS A8N-SLI
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813131524
DFI LANPARTY UT nF4
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813136152
(saw the MSI recommended here, and if it is a good mobo and not overclocking probably would be the best option? other input?)
CPU:
AMD Athlon 64 3500+
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16819103603
AMD ATHLON 64 3700+
http://www.mwave.com/mwave/viewspec.hmx?scriteria=BA21445
(3700+ really much benefit over the 3500+?)
RAM
CORSAIR VALUE SELECT (2x512)

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16820145440
(no overclocking)
HD
Western Digital Caviar

(got a better choice?)
case I dont really care about - psu should probably be at least 400w. Anyone else have other recomendations?
