first time build- comments on components
Hello all-
I have decided to build my first computer. It will be AMD based and run XP pro, I believe everything is compatible. This is supposed to be a middle of the road system for family use. I tried to build it with upgradability in mind. After doing some research, I have come up with the following list of components (all to be purchased from Newegg): AMD Athlon XP 2500+ "Barton", 333 FSB, 512K Cache- Retail Asus nForce2 Ultra 400 Motherboard, Model "A7N8X Deluxe" RETAIL (on board sound and LAN) Two (2) Corsair Value Select 184 Pin 512MB DDR PC-3200 - OEM (fastest mem the board will take, under clock to match processor?) Seagate 160GB 7200RPM IDE Hard Drive, Model ST3160021A, OEM Leadtek A360 TD, GeForce FX 5700, 128MB DDR, 128-bit, DVI/TV-Out, 8X AGP, RETAIL Lite On Beige 52x32x52 CD-RW Drive, Model LTR-52327S BEIGE, Retail LITE-ON 16X DVDROM, Model XJ-HD166/XJ-HD165H, Retail Lite-On Model# HT 761B (Beige)ATX Case w/ 400W P4 Ready Power Supply and Front USB Ports - Retail. (AMD recommended) The above, XP pro, a few miscellaneous items and shipping comes in at just over $1000 USD. I don't want to spend much more than that. Thanks for you attention, any and all comments are appreciated. Thanks again, Kietz |
