[MEGATHREAD] Personal Computer - Updated builds thanks to Logical Increments

[Georges]

I'd replace that power supply with one of these for $20 less, but other than that it's a really great build. Save for the graphics card it should last you a good five years or so.

yes, I agree with this

No. His modular psu is fine... fully wired psu's are literally the devil.

So, I got an old computer and I want to make it a late 90's/early 2000's gaming PC. I've already replaced the extremely forgeted up CD Drive and replaced the 256mb stick of PC133 RAM with 2x512mb DDR1 sticks (Yes, this motherboard surprisingly has 2 slots for both types). I'm also planning on boot n nuke'ing the HDD, and installing either 2000 or XP (The case badge says made for ME and XP, but forget ME). I need advice on this computer. I need to know what parts will make it a badass late 90's/early 2000's gaming PC, and I also have a problem......Whenever I turn off the computer, it turns right back on a few seconds later. Could I get help with both of these problems please?

Specs:
1.7ghz Athlon XP
1gb DDR1 RAM
40gb HDD (Formatted in FAT32, Eugh)
S3 ProsavageDDR 32mb integrated graphics
Windows XP SP1

Eh, it really depends on your preferences. I wouldn't buy that Corsair though when there's a semi-modular Antec for just $5 more than the XFX: http://www.amazon.com/Antec-Current-HCG-520M-BRONZE-Modular/dp/B006TVQTAY/ref=sr_1_53?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1416599620&sr=1-53

Semi is better than fully wired. I have a semi, and there's still cables I don't use just uselessly taking up space.

So I am looking to build a ~$700 gaming computer. I found a build that I like and am likely going to do. Figured I would throw it out there to see what you guys think. I plan on using it to play most / all modern games and FPS's. So tell me what you think and feel free to give me suggestions or other builds within budget.

I think you should get more RAM.

I think you should get more RAM.

8gb is enough

Get 2 sticks of 4 GB instead of 1 stick of 8.

[Swat 3]

8gb is enough

You don't want enough, you want expandability and more RAM than what running a game, steam, youtube videos, browsing at the same time would take.

Y'know, just because.

but if he's on a budget and cant expand for another 4 GB or 8 GB of ram then that's his walk.

[Jubel]

more RAM than what running a game, steam, youtube videos, browsing at the same time would take.

i run on 4 gigs of ram right now and I can do this all flawlessly.
8 gigs is more than enough

[Badger]

8 gigs is pretty much all you need unless you go into rendering a large amount of stuff such as videos

speaking of which I'm thinking about upgrading to 16 as I'm starting up making videos soon.
