Well, do you have a budget?

m0nk3ys1ms · 04-13-2006, 01:44 AM

cheap as possible (500 to 700 usd)

1. What are you going to be using the computer for?

2. Instead of that IDE HDD get a SATA one.

3. That GPU is very weak, I would stick to the intergrated graphics for now then when you have the money upgrade to something like a 6600GT or higher

4. That is a pretty nice PSU, you might be able to save a little cash by downgrading since your system isnt that power demanding. Although dont downgrade to much.
