Okay, I got everything like it except the exact memory. And the price I can easily help you out with.

The memory is a bit different - but it's life time warranty.


This is what I can do on the specifications for you.

Intel® Core 2 Duo Processor E6400 2.13GHz 1066MHz 2MB LGA775 CPU, Retail
Asus P5N-E SLI Quad-Core/ nForce650i SLI/ A&GbE&1394/ ATX Motherboard
STT 2 sticks of: DDR2-533 1GB/128x8 CL4 Samsung Chip Memory (SuperTalent-lifetime warranty)
EVGA nVidia GeForce 7600GS 256MB DVI/HDTV w/Fan PCI-Express Video Card
Hitachi 320GB 0A33435 SATA2 U300 7200rpm 16MB RoHS Hard Drive
Asus DRW-1814BLT LightScribe 18X Double Layer SATA DVD+/-RW Drive (Black), Retail
Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate (1-Pack DVD), OEM
Logitech Deluxe 250 Desktop Keyboard & Optical Mouse Combo (Black)

How does it look to you?

$999.99 :D
Not to forget about shipping and insurance w/o installation. Add $75.00 if you wish to be installed and setup. Although, shipping box will be slightly more just in case you are curious to know.
 
EVGA N615 Nvidia GeForce 7600GT 256MB PCI-E Video Card DVI HDTV,Model 256-P2-N615 -Retail price to add is $122.50 not too shabby for an upgrade compared to the first request of a 7600GS. So, basically coming under quoted budget. LOL!

Hmm thanks alot :D and I really like the parts but I'm kind worried about the memory, HD, and I don't know about keyboard & mouse...:(

Personally, I've never heard of STT memories and I really like Corsair memory, especially because it comes with great heat spreader...:)

Thanks,
 
Memory = "unknown" could recommend Kingston, Corsair, Crucial, Mushkin, OCZ.
Board make and model = good
cpu = Core 2 Duo E6400
Video Card = EVGA 7600GT over GS
Storage = How much do you need and want? Western Digital or Seagate
dvd-r/rw drive = Sony, Lite-On, LG, NEC...
keyboard + mouse = Logitech or MS
OS = Vista OEMs Ultimate-$199-$240, Home Premium -$119-$140 or XP Pro/SP2 currently $95-$140 They always charge more for the Home version, XP Pro 64bit $62.99-$80

STT is actually Super Talent - it has a heat spreader on it too.

http://www.supertalent.com/home/index.php
Is the manufacturer's part number. NewEgg isn't the only company out there... Corsair is a different manufacture.
For instance...http://www.supertalent.com/products/product_detail.php?PN=T533UB1GB

Here's the specifications from their website. Trust me, I've sold many of these sticks of memory... for a manufacture as who they are - very good!

From the RMA's I ever get - I get a fast turn around in life time. Usually 2 weeks tops!

Hey :)

How much watts would I need to run these parts? If I'm going to use them for gaming/home computer? :confused:

And can someone tell me good case with like 120mm fans and cost like under $100? :)

Thanks

Well... that's a question of a different animal. You can use a 450W + (Higher) to safe no less than 450 at the least. I go for around 500W myself.

Let me check first thing tomorrow about a case. Are you interested in what I offered you?

The average gaming build especially for those planning to OC cpus, memory, and video cards, or run an SLI or Crossfire setup will see 500W+. The most important thing when picking out a supply besides wattage is price and stability. You can find 500w supplies for some $50 that are not worth the time of day. They are simply "cheap crap"! For a half way decent make and model plan on $80-$100 or even higher for a heavier model.

Now for a large variety of gaming and other types of cases by diffent brands one vendor besides newegg can be looked over at http://www.xoxide.com/pccases.html
 
The demands placed on a supply will determine how mich amperage is needed not the wattage rating. If you get into a flaky supply the demand on power can easily pull the output right down if there is no regulation. I've put some heavy loads on the system here with only a 480w model. No dropoffs due to being stable under load.

Oh, I'm really interested of your offers but not quite sure...:confused:

Because I'm trying to build a computer for less price :)
 
The first you will wnat to do is layout a plan for how much you can afford to spend for the total cost as well as how much for individual hardwares. This will be based mainly on the things you plan for a new build. Will it be a gaming case with high end video and sound cards and a large amount of ram along with the fastest cpu available. Or will you be the occasional gamer who checks the email inbox, browses the web, and runs less demanding applications. These will have a direct bearing on everything.
 
Personally id go through newegg.com guaranteed 3 day shipping, ne problems u can send back, have u tried pricing everything through newegg

The first thing in that list I would dump right from the start is the Rosewill supply! The best 500w+ model seen for $75 or less is the Enermax model seen at http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817103512

Take a good look at the "good" and the "foobar" lists and understand that you will probably need to spend over that for a good make and model.
Good:
Antec(except Smart Power models) - Astec - AOpen - Channel Well - Coolermaster - Enermax(except Liberty models)
- Enlight - Fortron Source (Sparkle) - HEC - OCZ Technology - PC Power & Cooling - PowerMan
- Seasonic - SilverStone - Sunbeam - Tagan - TTGI/SuperFlower - Vantec - Zippy / Emacs - Verax - Zalman
- Corsair

Bad:
Allied - Antec Smart Power models seem to lack(recommend True Power or NeoHE) - Aspire - CoolMax - DEER - Enermax Liberty models - EYE-T
- KingStar - L&C - Linkworld - Logisys - PowerMagic - PowerUp - Powmax - Q-Tec - Raidmax - Skyhawk - Star
- Turbolink - Ultra - ThermalTake(complaints heard some good some ???) - Rosewill - SilenX ???

Lite-On is a much better make for a dvd burner like the model seen at http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16827106013 LG and Nec also make a good list.
