well looks nice a few things i would change...
1st get an intel core 2 duo its faster than the amd's atm... also you can overclock them like a mofo http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16819115005 2nd get this mobo its cheap but good http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16813127004 3rd get the nvidia 7900 GTO it is the best card for the price on the market 4th maybe look at a little cheaper of a case http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16811128010 is a nice case 5th youll need ddr2 ram so might as well get some good stuff to help you overclock... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16820145566 this is all if you have a bit more money otherwise the system you have there is just fine but seriously you dont need a 100 $ case its a waste of money... im modding my old pos case lol cost me about 20 bucks but is nicely built so ill just add a few more holes and add some lights and a window and itll be awsome This post has been edited by tdktank59: Oct 20 2006, 04:41 AM |

i was talking to my friend today and he was like why...
You are in a sense wasting your money becasue if you buy this now by the time vista comes out and DX 10 comes out it will be pretty much obsolete... If you lucky (depeding on waht you do) you may get a good year out of this computer with games (that are out RIGHT NOW), that computer is definatly not anything you would be using 3d art programs on such as maya or other programs like that. That computer you are building is ment for older games/ text based stuff nothing that requires alot so look at the future when you are buying something Really you should be looking at around 800-1000 $ on a system that will last for 3-5 years maybe more if your lucky just thought id include this into your thought before you buy it also you cannot really upgrade anything on that board by the time you need to that stuff will be so obsolete it wont be funny... if you were me and w/e lol id get a MOBO that supports DDR2, and has at least 1 pcie slot if not 2 (for sli) also look for the newer stuff Im guessing once the core quardos come out the duos will drop in price a little bit and be more around 100-150 (im guessing) so id wait till the quardos and vista comes out to upgrade or build a new computer (plus after xmas time stores will be wanting to get rid of there old stock for the newer stuff so the prices should also be lower!!!

For the price that you are going to pay for an AMD 3700+ I'd just say to upgrade to an AMD Dual Core X2 processor. They have dropped in price significantly lately, you can get the Dual Core 4200+ for $182 off Newegg (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16819103747)
Its less than a $100 upgrade and majorly worth it in my opinion. I've been building custom systems for 5 or 6 years now and Dual Core is a really nice new technology. |

Cuadros? Im assuming those are CPU's with 4 cores? 2 Dual Cores built into 1? That will be pretty sweet, I haven't even heard of those yet. Wonder what pretty price tag Intel will slap on those bad boys..
