You can really go cheaper on some of the parts I listed. Your needs are not exactly demanding on a computer. EX: You could switch the CPU and the Motherboard to a AMD type since they are generally cheaper. You could change the graphics card to a 7 series. etc. Last edited by 911aaron; 05-18-2008 at 02:54 AM. |

Here's a couple builds I figured I would post. The first is showing you what you can get cpu-wise (quad-core) which would be ridiculously future proof for your needs. The second is a very cheap system that would do what you need to just fine as well. Maybe use one or both as a starting point for your build, concerning hard drives, case, etc.
1)Case Antec 300 $49.99 (microcenter.com) Psu XClio GDPR 500W $54.99 (newegg.com) Cpu Intel Q6600 $219.99 (newegg.com) Mobo Gigabyte GA-G33M $94.99 (newegg.com) Memory 2GB G.Skill CL5 $42.99 (newegg.com) Hdd1 WD 160GB $44.99 (newegg.com) Opt1 Samsung DVD-R $24.99 (newegg.com) Total $542.93 2)Case Antec 300 $49.99 (microcenter.com) Psu XClio GDPR 500W $54.99 (newegg.com) Cpu Athlon X2 4400+ $60.99 (newegg.com) Mobo Gigabyte GA-MA69VM $64.99 (newegg.com) Memory 2GB G.Skill CL5 $42.99 (newegg.com) Hdd1 WD 160GB $44.99 (newegg.com) Opt1 Samsung DVD-R $24.99 (newegg.com) Total $343.93 Btw, typing this post, surfing the internet, and listening to music currently...on a 733Mhz P3 just fine. |

But you could definitely get less without affecting performance.
