New Computer, what do you think?

[xtrstangx]

Building a new computer after my old hard drive failed and started the old computer on file

ECS nForce4 mobo
AMD Athlon 64 3000+ Venice core
eVGA 7600GT 256MB (PCI-E)
WD 250GB SATA hard drive
Coolmax 400w powersupply
Kingwin K8CU-8025 (gets good reviews on newegg so I figure its pretty good)
Corsair ValueSelect 2x512MB DDR400
PNY Turbo 512MB DDR400

Sound like a good setup? I haven't ordered it all yet, probably will do that tomorrow.

Re: New Computer, what do you think?

the all important question:

how much do you have to spend?

Re: New Computer, what do you think?

upgrade the CPU to a 3200 or a 3700 and the ram to 2 gigs and you will be fine.

Re: New Computer, what do you think?

I'm spending about $700 bucks and getting a friend of mine:

7600GT
64 3200+
2gigs of Corsair ValueRAM

I'll link you the thread.

The diffrence between a 3000 and 3200 are very negligible.

Do you plan to overclock at all?

Re: New Computer, what do you think?

I have an ECS nforce mobo. You may want to splurge and get one that is better for overclocking. I am a little frustrated with mine.

Re: New Computer, what do you think?

I'm spending about $600.

I'm not sure if I will overclock it or not yet. Most likely I will just play BF2 on it for now.. if I'm not getting the performance that I want (doubtful since I'm moving from an old crappy computer). These processors are supposed to be good for easily OCing up to 400-500 mhz more.

I've spent $685.66 including shipping. I am pretty sure you are reusing some of your old components, so you can knock that price down with in your budget.

Re: New Computer, what do you think?

Why did you list two different memory types?

That PSU and motherboard are garbage.
