Building a new computer!

Pages: (1/6) > >>

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.
