Ok. So Instead of purchasing a new computer I've decided to build my own. I figured this would help me get more bang for my buck. Basically, I don't play many games and the ones i do play are rather old. I'm a command and conquer nutt and that's basically the extent of my gaming. I mainly listen to music, videos, surf. The basics. My needs aren't overwhelming but at the same time I'd like to get the best i can within reason. I've done some research on processors and have come up with a few options for myself.
Everything I've read has directed me towards Intel but I thought I'd ask before i buy.
My options are:
Pentium 4 531/541 or other
or
AMD Athlon64 3700+
I've also found some MoBo's to choose from and my list is rather short and only for the Athlon CPU.
MSI Neo-2 Platinum
DFI Lanparty UTNF3 Ultra
Biostarr T-Force 6100
I'm still reading into video cards but i Think my choice for AMD would be the GeForce 6100 or so.
I'm also looking to go with a 2 512mb ram combo.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated and I'll be awaiting your advice. I'm also going to scroll through the recent posts to see if any of that will help. Thanx in advance. -frank.
