Hey, i'm just about to buy a new computer for christmas and i was looking for some help on creating the new system, like suggestions on changes and advice. I'm some what computer literate on a broad sense but, dont know much about small details.
Anyway i'm looking to spend around 3500AUD (2500USD) max, but i spose could squeeze and extra 100USD if i really needed to. My intentions for this computer is mainly gaming and also some video editing.
So far i've come up with this:
-Antec P180 Case
-Antec Phantom 500Watt ATX Power Supply (OCZ 520Watt Powerstream currently sold out in Australia, but if you think its worth geting i can ship for OS)
-Zalman CNPS7700-CU CPU Copper Cooler Ball bearing
-DFI LanParty UT NF4 SLI-DR eXpert S939 nf4 Dual PCI-Express x16 SLI Dual GbLAN SATA II Raid
-AMD Athlon64 X2 4400+ Dual Core Processor Socket 939-Retail 2.2Ghz Toledo Core
-OCZ DDR2 Platinum EB PC5400 1GB DC Kit 512MBx2 PC-5400 Dual Channel EB Kit
-Seagate Barracuda 120GB 7200.7 SATA 150MBYTE/SEC 8mb Cache with NCQ x 2
-XFX NVIDIA GeForce 7800GTX 256Mb PCI-Express Graphics Card
-ViewSonic VP930B 8ms Black 19" LCD MONITOR 1000:1 Contrast Analog / DVI
This system came to 3900AUD (2,900USD) which is about 300/400AUD (300USD) over my limit. I was thinking i'l downgrade the gfx card to a 6800, or the monitor or the mobo.
Anyway please offer you expertise.......
