Time to upgrade

Camper · 07-23-2005, 09:59 PM

I’m looking to upgrade my computer. I’m going to use this computer for heavy gamming lan parties and the usual light stuff.
This is what I’m planning to buy.
AMD Athlon 64 3200+ -190 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819103535
MSI K8N Neo4-F Socket 939 NVIDIA nForce4 -86 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813130491
Thermaltake SOPRANO VB1000BWS Black -75 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811133145
XCLIO XClio 450BL 450W Power Supply – Retail -52.50
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...189-003&depa=0
CORSAIR ValueSelect 1GB (2 x 512MB) 184-Pin DDR – 79.99
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820145440
ASUS EAX800XL/2DTV/256 Video Card – 286
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814121530
Total 769.49 USD

I’m looking to see if there if I can find any of these cheaper or any suggestions on parts.

Decent setup all around ... u might consider non-ASUS videocard and save some money

What Hard Drive are you planning to get? Or since it's an upgrade I assume you might use your old one?

Oh nice. You may consider spending an extra $2 for the Connect3d one with slightly faster memory

I'm also going to use my old HD, CD, DVD from my old comp and sell the rest.
