    New computer creation.

    I need advice on what to use in a new build. Going to use the same basics as old one ( same mouse, monitor, keyboard and such )
    Comp now.
    AMD Athlon XP 2500+ 1.84 GHz
    1.00 GB of DDR-SDRAM
    GeForce FX 5200 ( ouch )

    Want to build a new comp but Im no positive if all the parts are compatitable. Any help? Heres what I got so far...
    CPU http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819103514
    Mobo http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813127222
    HDD http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822148040
    RAM http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820145579

    Case and PSU http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811129155

    Opinions and advice would be nice. And if its crap... Oh well. New to this. Thanks in advance.

    Looks to be a good system, but I would try to get some better quality RAM. The value select is good if you are on a budget, but I'm kicking myself for getting the VS instead of some higher performance RAM. Check these out, this is what I want to get when I get some money:



    It's definitely worth the extra 50 dollars.

    Everything else is pretty sweet.

            good CPU and Mobo- they are compatiable so thats good

            Bad case- get aliminum its cheaper and looks nicer
            Bad Ram- go with Kingston or Crucial ram nice good quality and try there site for good prices
            Bad HD- go with more gb and try the maxtor 250-300 with 16mb cache. with that cache size its like a 10000 rpm drive

              Looks good, now just get that OCZ ram and build it, so we can see it in action. :)

                You dont need a huge hard drive, I only have an 80 gig and I've only used 8 GBs, you just gotta keep it clean.

                  Hm. Ok. I might look into more room but I don't use much for the most part. But then again if it turns out nice I'll end up with more games on it. Case and power supply was always a issue with me... Cause its seems to be always a nice case with bad power supply. Just buy em seperate I guess. Better. It'll be a while before I actually get it together though. Just needed a outline of it.
