This will be the first time I try to build a computer and I am unsure about what to expect through the whole processes but I am looking foward to it. The computer will be used for gaming, music, videos, and ofcourse school work and surfing the web. Here is my current build:
Processor:
AMD Athlon 64 3000+ Venice 1GHz FSB Socket 939
Motherboard:
ASUS A8V DELUXE Socket 939
RAM:
Corsair ValueSelect 512mb
Video Card:
GeForce FX5500
HardDrive:
Maxtor DiamondMax 120GB 7200 RPM Serial ATA150 Hard Drive
I have a $1200 limit to spend on the computer. And with everything above plus case, keyboard, mouse, monitor, and the other essentials I come out just at $1200.
So please give me your opinions and tips on my build, and tips on how to prepare for doing my first build and resources to look at. Ive read through a couple of "Building a PC" guides and hopefully they will help out.
*EDIT: If thier is better Mobo for a begginer like me to work with please let me know.
