Project: Computer Build

Psychobob777 · 01-01-2007, 09:16 AM

Hey guys,

I need some help with a computer build. I'm about to start ordering parts and I wanted to know if they were compatible, or if they are not a good idea to get or if maybe you know of a better deal.

The computers main use is gaming, I would also like to be able to listen to my own music while I game, so I would need it to be able to multitask pretty well

I'm not exactly rich so The final price needs to be anywere between $400.00-$800.00

Thank you

Here are a list of the parts I was thinking of getting:

Motherboard:

Ram:

Video Card:

PSU:

Sound Card:

Please keep in mind that I am open to ANY sudgestions.
Thank you

The GPU won't work in the top motherboard because it has no PCI-E slot, the ram wont run at full speed either.
The CPU wont fit in that socket so it wouldn't be a good idea to get that motherboard!
Whic motherboard do you want?

That motherboard is fine except the ram would only be running at DDR2 533 speed. If you get that motherboard change your ram to DDR2 533 instead.

The first four or five in this list would be suitable:
