I have 5G's and I need to build a new computer

ch1t0wn · 05-24-2006, 05:26 AM

I was wondering what the best computer possible you guys could make for 5G's. I've never built a computer before, so any information would be greatly appreciated. I won't be building the computer myself, I am having a friend do it. I would like to make something so nice I wouldn't have to make another one for 3-4 years or so (with minor upgrades). But here is the break down of my needs.

- PC case
Not flashy, just big enough to hold everything in (preferably black and not see-through)
- Power supply
Something at or over 500w
- Motherboard
- Processor
- Memory
- Hard drive
I would like at least 2, one 10,000 and one 7200
- Video card
I am probably going with two
- Sound card
Something that will work nicely with the speakers
- DVD/CD drive (possibly 2-3)
I'm getting that Plextor slot loading DVD/CD RW
- Wireless router/USB network adapter
- Monitor
20" at least
- Mouse/Keyboard
- Speakers
Possibly wireless, black, classy
- Anything extra that I might need

Thanks for the help. And have fun building.

I'm guessing 5G's is 5000? Boy, with 5000, you could have the dream machine...

Can you wait for a couple days? The am2 is coming out and then we can build you a really high end computer.

Why did you choose an OPEN BOX hard drive with a 5K budget?

I dont think they sell retail ones of those, not that it really makes a difference.

ANd it's not really an open box, it's just the hard drive.
