Building a new computer!
Gadgethm:
I may soon be building a new computer, and I would like to know what you think I should get in terms of parts. I already have a list, but the idea is that you can suggest stuff to me. Keep in mind that I have a limited budget and would rather keep things as cheap as possible. Here's the list:
Processor
Motherboard
Hard drive
Power supply
RAM
Video Card
Case
Keyboard & mouse
Webcam (still thinking about this one)
Here is an optional processor that i saw. I have a $25 gift certificate to Best Buy, so I figured I would only have to earn $20 more than with the other processor.
I have space parts in my garage, so things like the CD drive and stuff isn't needed.
Darkhawk:
Good stuff except the case, you can get one 100 times cooler at Best Buy for like 10 bucks.
Osak:
Ditch the motherboard, ditch the cpu, and ditch the graphics card.
General Nick:
Motherboard is made by some brand that sucks and its open box meaning its USED.
CPU is awful, you're better off with the core 2 duo E7500 because pentiums these days are really awful.
RAM is alright.
Power supply brand is sketchy and not high-powering.
Graphics is god-awful. If you're looking to do any gaming at most you'll do source games around low.
Osak:
If you're building a computer, don't choose the cheap parts.
