Bulding a gaming computer.
Hello, I'm kind of new to this building scene, and wanted to ask for some guidance. Now I'm sure you get these questions a lot, but some help would really be nice. Now I don't need help on the actually putting it together, I've done plenty of research on that. My budget is around $600-700. Here's the list of parts I've picked.
Mother Board/CPU http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...MBM-GF7100-940 Ram http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...&sku=O261-8038 Video Card http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...&Sku=P450-9830 Hard Drive http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...ku=TSD-500AAKS Case/Power Supply http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...4&sku=ULT33180 http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...2&sku=T13-2007 Fans/CPU cooler http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...2&sku=D15-1155 http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...&sku=M333-3003 DVD/CD Reader http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...8&sku=L12-1164 So that all comes in at about $700, so I wanted to make sure all those parts would fit together, and that a 400 watt power supply would be enough to power all that, and some input on the parts i picked, I've done some research on all the parts but some more input would be nice. I think that's about it, Thanks in advance. Last edited by Cire353; 10-27-2008 at 08:07 PM. |

you would be better off getting all of this stuff from newegg.com. the prices probably arent any different but newegg as a company is way better. your motherboard/processor is old, it would bottleneck the video card.

That link doesn't want to work, and I'm aware of Newegg.com but from the research I've done TigerDirect.com is about just as good, and there prices are cheaper on a lot of stuff by about $20. Yeah I was kind off worried about that Mother board though, Tiger didn't seem to carry it except for in that package.

Processor:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819116072 Motherboard: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813130185 it works out to a little more expensive than what you just posted but it is waaaaayyyy better.
