Hello.
I'm saving up to build a 64bit system in the next 6 months, im not too bothered about having the best of everything right now but want to be able to upgrade it over the course of a several years. I'll use it mostly for gaming and most importantly i needs to be able to drive my Dell 2005W LCD at native res (1580x1060 i belvie) easily. I've put together the following components which comes to just under 500, was wondering if any could comment and what was strong and weak about the package and maybe reccommend some better components bearing in mind i dont want to spend much more than the 500.
I've placed a value next to each component, this the maximum i want to pay. Unless there is good reason to pay more.
HHD(<60): 120Gb Seagate Barracuda (7200rpm,8MB) - SATA with NCQ
Optical (<30): Generic CD/DVD writer
CPU (<110): Athlon 64 3000 32/64Bit CPU S939 "Venice"
Mobo. (<100): Abit KN8 Ultra PCI-E S939 NF4
RAM (<100): 1Gb PC3200, found some fairly generic on Crucial
Video (<120): 256MB Gigabyte PCI-E NX66T256D GF-6600GT (NV43 Ultra)
Thanks in advnace.
