I will slowly be in the process of collecting parts to build a decent computer, I don't want to spend more than $7-800 in doing so, so I'll be looking out for good deals.
The thing is, I'm not very computer-building savvy regarding what parts to choose. I see there are always great deals on the DDR ram (not DDR2), and the older ATA hard drives (not the SATA ones). My question: will I be good with the older technology (like a 250GB 7200rpm ATA)? Can anyone point out what I'll be missing out on if I chose to go with the older technology? Do you guys think I'll be fine with the older technology? I'm planning on putting in a P4 3.0ghz, or a similar AMD.
Thanks,
Dan
