I would just get the P35-DS3L, E8400 and HD3870. There you go!

Thanks for the suggestions

PS Gogey i dont need a monitor, I said I had one in my first post, but a jam alot of stuff in a small place, so its easy to miss.

ok, new list

COOLER MASTER Centurion 5 CAC-T05-UB Black /Blue Aluminum Bezel , SECC Chassis ATX Mid Tower Computer Case - Retail- $49.99

Microsoft Windows Vista 32-Bit Home Premium for System Builders Single Pack DVD - OEM- $109.99

Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 Wolfdale 3.0GHz 6MB L2 Cache LGA 775 65W Dual-Core Processor - Retail- $239.99

GIGABYTE GA-P35-DS3L LGA 775 Intel P35 ATX All Solid Capacitor Intel Motherboard - Retail - $89.99

Heres the Video Card I have:
Foxconn FV-N76TM2DT-R3 GeForce 7600GT 256MB 128-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 SLI Supported Video Card - Retail

Still need RAM (2-4GB),a HD (200GB), a wireless PCI adapter, and a PSU. My total so far including shipping is about $500, so we most likely need to cut back on something. Probably the processor.

Buy your processor from here http://www.microcenter.com/single_pr...uct_id=0281097

Shaves 40$ off of that 500, but you'll have to cut back on something if you want a psu that has enough power for an 8 series as well.

Great price for 2gb of ram.

I'd get x64 for the sake of upgrading. That E8400 will last you a long time, and buying another x64 OS/buying the x64 conversion disk from M$... Ain't cheap.

shortymet55 · 02-20-2008, 12:54 PM

Anyone suggest the part I still need and what i need to downgrade to afford everything?

oscaryu1 · 02-20-2008, 11:28 PM

Look at the Cooler Master Elite 330.

shortymet55 · 02-21-2008, 12:37 AM

I already have a case picked out. However, if the $15 saved helps with my small budget then i will use it, but im really looking for suggestions in RAM, HD, PSU, stuff like that.
