to cut down the price of my gaming/normal use computer... ive already changed a lot like getting a cheap keyboard & mouse, cheaper processor and 1 gig ram instead of 2. but i styll need to cut down maybe like 200 more dollars, or 150 is good enuff, can u guys please see if i could get anything cheaper on any of these items that wouldnt make a HUGE difference..
Processor: AMD Athlon 64 3200+ 2.0 GHz Socket 939 (maybe a 3000+ if not a big difference?)
Power Supply:Antec TruePower 2.0 TPII-550 ATX12V 550W (do you guys think a 480 W one would be more than enough to power these specs?)
Video Card: EVGA GeForce 6800GS PCI-E 256MB (i once considered the 6600GT, but i heard how bad it was..)
Dvd Burner(BLACK): NEC ND-3550 16x Double Layer (I like NEVER BURN ANYTHING AT ALL but one of my friends says i have to have a drive that can read DVDS because games will be put on DVD instead of CDS.. and he said my hard drive ^ cant read dvds....is that true? if not i wil not get this..)
LCD Monitor: ViewSonic Xtreme VX922 19" 2 ms 650:1 (this i styll dont know about.. its so expensive.. but i really dont know any other monitor i can get becuz every1 says this monitor is the "best" and its "perfect")
p.s - this isnt my full system becuz the stuff i didnt post up was not important and was cheap enough. these r the only things i'm worried about... thanks.
