Building a new pc, to replace my old Celeron(it sucks)

Pricesnightmare · 02-04-2006, 02:35 PM

Ok check it,
First off I am a newbe on the site, but have built budget pcs in the past, but this time I am wanting something that can handle all the things that I do. Just happens I do them all at the same time..... The 2.2ghz celeron I am running on an old biostar MB does not seem to like these things....

This is what I was thinking about doing:

Processor: A Socket 939 AMD Athlon 64 3200 venice
Board: Biostar Socket 939 NF4STa9
Graphics:MSI RX550-TD2 56e Radeon
Mem: (TWO) A data 512MB ddr400 simms
Hd: 120GB Seagate Barccuda 7200rpm 8mb cache
and the 80gb I already have,
Case: enlight Gaming PC extreme pa420313
w/ a aspire atx-cw500p4 500watt PWR SC

and the cost I am looking at is around 650 for the tower alone.... Any Sugestions??

Wat are the things your using it for?

Pricesnightmare · 02-04-2006, 02:45 PM

Well, ok, I use my pc to:

Program sites,
Mix sound,
Chat of course, (running two IM's at all time)
As a juke box,
Design graphics,
Game a little (I am more of a consoler)
Watch a few internet cartoons
blog
and that is about it

ok seems like pretty basic tasks. for some new ideas, look through the desktop section or search for other people with about a 700 dollar budget. there have been a few, u culd get some ideas.

$650?? My PC (with my first choice of GPU) cost $615 (without case)!!

Go here: My Xmas PC Build

Scroll to Praetor's post. That PC is much better than what you specified, and cheaper (bear in mind a case isn't in that list). Swap some stuff around too, like the graphics card and it'd be even cheaper!
