hey at this moment i am entering this post from a 866mhz compaq presario. does anymore have to be said why im trying to build this pc?
im a gamer and for the past year i resorted to xbox live because i just couldnt take the lag of my hellish presario with out stabbbing the monitor.
untill like a week ago i really didnt know shit about the hardware in computers but ive been researching everynight and i think ive got the handle on things.
with my knowledge ive aquired from alotta websites ive put together a recipe for my new beautiful gaming pc.
im sure you guys know a **** load more than i do so please tell me anything u possibly can about my list. what sucks and what could be changed.
here it is:
-amd athlon clawhammer 3400 cpu (2.2GHz, 1MB, 800MHz FSB, Socket 754)
-Abit NF8 nForce3 250GB Athlon 64/Sempron Skt754 DDR ATX Motherboard w/Audio, Gigabit LAN, RAID/Seria (i really have no idea if this sucks, i only chose it because it has a 754 socket and it has a really long fancy name)
-ATI Radeon 9800 Pro Video Card (256MB, AGP 8X, 2D/3D w/ TV-Out)
-Corsair 1GB PC3200 DDR-RAM 9its a twin set thing)
-Creative Labs Sound Blaster Audigy 4 Pro
alright there it is.
i ran up the numbers and its commin out to $1168.
im gonna have to make a cut here and there. ill be turning 16 in a few days so im not shitting money at this period of my life.
here is another list i found on a website called - "http://www.mysuperpc.com/"
this is it:
Motherboard MSI K8N Neo Platinum
Processor AMD Athlon 64 3400+
Ram Crucial 1024MB PC3200 DDR
Video Card ATI Radeon 9800 Pro
Hard Drive Western Digital 120GB 7200rpm Ultra ATA100
DVD RW NEC ND-3520A Dual Format Double Layer
Sound Card Creative Labs Audigy 2 ZS (but the motherboard built-in sound is very good)
so yea, just please give me some pointers im pretty lost here. my parents are old and still dont know what a monitor is (i explain it as beingt the tv). so as u see im on my own here.
should i try to have a mind of my own and be an individual and go with what i put together or this other guys thing.
or please go right ahead and fix what ever is wrong with mine.
thx a billion.
