Can anyone help me? I am thinking about spending anywhere from 500-800 dollars on a new computer, if anyone can show me what they suggest that would be great!
Case: $39, free ship. Case is a matter of taste, though--aside from something that works, just make sure you get free shipping because your budget is so tight. I suggest Rosewill R5717-P:
Now you're at $791 + shipping, no rebates...but dang. You'll be missing out without that x1950pro, and that ultra-value ram will do, but it's not going be an overclocker at all for ya'.
edit: maybe somebody else has some ideas for an AM2 build. I'm out of my environment with AMD-ATI (which, if you anagram it carefully, spells DAAMIT).
Nice. For the sub-$800 mark, OP would probably get much more enjoyment out the x1950pro/x2 4000 than the C2D/7600gt. Memory is better, too, and he wouldn't run into potential problems of having a mobo that's exceptionally finicky for what sorts of DDR2 it will converse with like the 865's can be.
