Bought My Parts (Your Opinion)

mwahsun · 04-24-2006, 12:11 AM

i just bought all my parts except my 1GB Kingston RAM, CD-RW Drive, DVD-R Drive, OS, also a Western Digital 180GB harddrive since i already have them:

AMD Athlon 64 3000+ Venice 2000MHz HT Socket 939 Processor Model ADA3000BPBOX - Retail (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819103537)
Albatron K8SLi ATX AMD Motherboard - Retail (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813170147)
Rosewill RE502-SLV 500W Aluminum Power Supply - Retail (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817182003)
PNY GeForce 6600GT PCI-Express x16 128mb Video Card (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...e=STRK:MEWN:IT)
NZXT TRINITY BLK Black/Silver Computer Case With Side Panel Window - Retail (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811146015)

thats pretty much it. its not the best, but its the only thing that fits my budget. I hope it can play decent in CS:S, BF2, WOW. Anyways how is it, and am i missing anything? Hope not!

Looks good, i didnt check for compatibility but it looks like its compatible.

That should play those games at medium-high settings. It will play CSS maxed out, i know that for a fact.

mwahsun · 04-24-2006, 01:10 AM

what do you mean compatible? you mean if they work together? they should since i got a combo discount from newegg for the amd processor and the mobo.

R u planning on running SLI? If not I'd look into somethin like this board.

$80 for an SLI board is pretty cheap, i'd look at the reviews on newegg.com

mwahsun · 04-25-2006, 01:42 AM

Not really looking for a SLi board. I just bought the processor and motherboard for a combo discount. Why? Its bad if its cheap?

Anyways hows NewEgg shipment? Does it usually come fast? How long?

Depends on where you live. Newegg is usually fast for me, but if you live closer I've heard it often arrives before the estimated date.

It looks like a strong build. Personally I don't like Albatron mobo's, but I dont think there is anything outright WRONG with them. Just if you are overclocking or looking for really high performance there are better brands.

How are NZXT cases? Good?
