That processor is a bit :S

I'd say get at least dual 2.4's or so and even a quad.

 

[beheaded]

get a quad core with ddr3 ram. then ull wont a SATA II HDD

 

[the emogod]

I would, except that the quad core is EXTREMELY VERY VERY EXPENSIVE... i would probably get an AMD before an Intel quad core...
hehehe, also the e2160 OC nicely to a good 3.4GHz =0

But yes i may change the processor.

 

[wtp]

no one ever seems to see that cost is a factor, quads cost $280+. And DDR3 isent worth for what it costs and i dont think the motherboards is compatible anyway.

What OS?

 

[786]

pretty good id go with a 500g hd but thats just me

 

[Hello Miss799]

I suggest Intel Extreme core but I have AMD Athlon 5200+

 

[the emogod]

intel extreme core is not for someone like me. Not one person on this forum needs it... unless they are film makers, video decoders/editors and PS3 users and programmers using vista while playing Counter Strike at the same time...

Also Intel Extreme core is 25 times better than 5200+ =P

Also my OS is Linux.

 

[Hello Miss799]

I guess my processor is horrible im going to cry in the bathroom

yeah that what im tryin to tell people cost means something dont go to the biggest thing if you dont need to.

nothin to cry about tho

Get an better processor.

 

[wtp]

Get an better processor.

he dosent need it. Hes only interested in web browsing. I use a 1.7Ghz processor (not dual) and it works well. And hes using linux which wont need a great processor.

And Ddr3 suck balls atm , if your only into web browsing I could build you a rig that was like cheaper and still get the job done.

Get a better GPU. A 7600? Seriously? Even most budget PCs can atleast afford a 7900GT.
If you want to run current games on the PC smoothly, spring for an 8 series. I recommend the 8800GT.
