no real number, for i dont know how much i will be able to save up for my parts....i have a monitor, mouse, keyboard, speakers, sound card, and optical drives, so i mainly need a mobo, cpu, RAM, case,hd, and a video card. i am willing to spend:
200 for cpu
200 for mobo
80 for case
200 for video card
100 for hd
180 for ram
dont know for cooling
it would be cool to spend less, as saving money can really help me out, but i may go a tad higher on some of these items..... but mainly i want to spend under 1000 bucks in all for the parts i dont have.
