First Built

linhsy · 02-23-2006, 08:07 PM

I'm planning to build my first destop computer. My main purpose of this comp is being able to download DVD files, Burn DVDs, Search internet and little bit for games. I don't plan to OC since I don't know how or want it to be more on the stable side.

I wonder my list of hardware components are alright?

1 . CPU : AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800
2. Motherboard: ASUS A8N5X Socket 939 NVidia nForce4 ATX AMD Motherboard.
3. System Harddrive: WD Raptor 74GB Serial ATA150 Harddrive.
4. Storage Harddrive: Seagate 300GB SATA 7200RPM
5. Memory: Corsair XMS 2GB(2x1GB) 184-pin DDR SDRAM DDR 400(PC3200) Unbuffered Dual Channel
6. DVD Burner: Plextor IDE DVD Burner Model PX-70A/SW-BL
7. Case: COOLER MASTER Wave Master TAC-T01
8. PSU: Antec TruePower TPII-550 ATX 12V 550W
9. Graphic Card: Haven't picked one yet. (?)

Thanks!

I think it's alright, in the future it would be better to give links to the components cause it will make that process easier

I have just updated the links.

Thanks! suprasteve.

Any recomemdation for graphic card ? Any other changes to the list?

My budget is around $1000.
