What are you planning on using the system for?? then we could advise better

dunerider5 · 05-31-2005, 09:00 AM

Mostly internet, downloading music. Possibly gaming in the future, in which case I would pick up a decent video card. For now it will be a cheap one. Whats the bottleneck here?

ripken2004 · 05-31-2005, 10:09 PM

how much money u working with here? i would get a socket 939 board

**Praetor** · 05-31-2005, 10:24 PM

Have a look at the PSU 101, that PSU is junk.

dunerider5 · 05-31-2005, 11:56 PM

Your right, I thought it was just the same as the black and red one... apparently not. Is THIS ONE better? Looks the same but more power. "+12@24A"

**Praetor** · 06-01-2005, 12:00 AM

Seems decent but again, read the PSU101 and you can make your own informed decisions

dunerider5 · 06-01-2005, 07:28 AM

Ive read all the 101's, a few times! I just started learning about computers 2 weeks or so ago. In fact, I wish there was a 101 here for everything.

For the extra cash you would probably be a little more satisfied with a socket 939 board, as well as a retail processer rather than an OEM- just a reccomendation, but with processers, I prefer having a nice warranty.

What's your budget? It'd be a little easier to help if we knew that.

no specific budget, just trying to keep it down.
