id go with a different brand motherboard. the reviews are good, but ive never heard of anyone using biostar. get more opinions though. i like gigabyte

Angel_Of_Death · 03-10-2008, 01:03 AM

the problem is thats the only brand that is availible when i narrow it down to: AMD Motherboards > CPU Socket Type : AM2+/AM2 > PCI Express 2.0 x16> Number of Memory Slots : 4×240pin> Memory Standard : DDR2 800

well i reckon it looks alright.

dunno if that power supply will be trustworthy...

and a monitor with inbuilt speakers?
speakers arent that expensive. i would get some cheap ones. like logitech X230's.
great sound. much much better then inbuilt speakers.

i already have some older pairs laying around the house

Kesava · 03-10-2008, 01:18 AM

ok well then i wouldnt get inbuilt ones. pointless and wont make it look as nice haha

Angel_Of_Death · 03-10-2008, 01:22 AM

i really only chose it because the first one i was looking at has all the same qualities except it didnt have inbuilt speakers and it was only 17in for the same cost

I'd rather go for E2160 ($72) + GIGABYTE GA-P31-S3G ($67) + XFX 8800GS ($120 after rebate)
Burner: pay extra $2 go for LITE-ON LH-20A1S OEM BK
