Building A Computer - Need Ideas

[the emogod]

Okay, well i am curious if all of these components work together. I am pretty sure they do, but could someone be so kind a look over all of these to see if they work together? Also if i should downgrade a little bit and save 50 dollars or upgrade to something else for only 10 bucks ect...

Yes everything should work fine, I am just not sure about the watts... It might be to low, so you must check it out...

Note: I built a computer with asus and just to tell you, their tech support sucks... That is why I sm not purchasing anything from them

other then that, I guess you are set go...

Also, my mistake. The processor i am really getting is this:
PROCESSOR:AMD Athlon 64 X2 5600+ Windsor 2.8GHz 2 x 1MB L2 Cache Socket AM2 Processor

Instead of building a computer, you could just but a cheap pre made one... there's not much cost difference nowadays.

 

[the emogod]

you are terribly, completely wrong.... Building a computer nowadays and buying a pre-built one is much different. I was looking on Bestbuy.com and CircuitCity, and i couldn't find 1 computer that matched this for under 650..... I could make this cost 400 bucks if i wanted to, downgrading two things that wouldn't effect me much... I think i might, too.

But pre-builts ALWAYS cost more because they are built by PEOPLE. and as we know people are greedy...

Looks good, don't listen to issues about 'wattz u need moar wattz'

Unless you plan on running an 8800GTX, no problems.

i could build a PREMO computer for you with funding 1 TB of memory 4GB of ram, great pc case/moniter/motherboard. $1,900 for this awesome desktop

Looks good, Just Dont be in a rush

From personal experience, everything is fine. The only minor annoying would be the fact that your MB is a microATX. Personally, and from experience, and from people who know more than I do about this subject due to their higher level of experience, I would recommend changing your MB to a stand sized ATX. microATX limits your future upgrade options, and I don't recommend overclocking on them either.

Alright...that 6150...not good at all.
I suggest an nvidea 7600 GT If your going to run all of the most recent games w/o lag. Best card for your buck.

haha... no shit anyone can do that... you just buy a 1tb HD, and 4 x 1024MB RAM...

I think i will stick with what i have =) thanks for the input all of you

I would suggest an Intel Core 2 Duo if u could switch some parts around but its up 2 u...

Don't get integrated GPU...ever...
You'll never be able to upgrade the GPU and if you want a new graphics card, you'll have to buy a whole new mobo along with that etc.
Also, the geforce 6 series is crazy outdated. Go with the 7 series at least. You can get some decent ones below $100.

The other stuff looks good, but you don't really need that large a HD. What you really want to be putting on your HD are nothing but the programs/games/whatever you run. Anything else such as movies, TV shows, music, you can store and a large ass external and save money.

Actually that large of a hard drive can come in handy. Keep in mind that most Vista games take up at least 1GB+ storage, plus saved games, system files, etc...

I'm sure you can google up some better graphics cards...

 

[GameAddict94]

U can buy a 1terabyte hardrive if you need it

 

[Osmosis]

Get a 5200+
