whats it to be used for, looks like a gaming rig to me.
Are you intending on using the psu that comes with the case - never a good idea read psu101
http://www.computerforum.com/showthread.php?t=10764

also you will certainly need a bigger hard drive, drop the 10,000rpm back down to 7,200. Ditch the raptor and get a bigger one, there is no point in the hdd being 10k rpm if you can't get anything on it.

 

[billybobjoe]

looks good but if that is for gaming go AMD

 

[diduknowthat]

check this out, better performance for a bit more. http://www.buyxg.com/store/item.asp?key=CU-182-101

I would get a mobo that supports SLI so that way you can buy another 7800 in the future.

 

[The_Other_One]

If you got the AN8, I'd at least get the standard AN8. I beleive that one is missing the pair of OTES fans in the rear and they actually seem to help cool my systems. Not but about $5 more...

 

[flame1117]

AMD all the way.. yeah i would geta bigger hard drvie too, if its for gaming definatly..I have over 10GIGS just from steam games lol.

 

[XHotxEx791]

Intel 955x chipset. Also maybe 1x 250gb wd or seagate hard drive/sata. Cost $2000 up. Also better psu, another $50 at least and arctic silver 5 for your Pentium 4 $8

building computer for friend- $2000.00 budget!!

whats the purpose of the system?

lite-on black 16x dvd+r 8x dvd+rw 4x dvd+r dl 16x dvd-r 6x dvd-rw 16x dvd-rom 48x cd-r 24x cd-rw 48x cd-rom 2m cache ide dvd burner - retail

id avoid litey dvd burners after their 1633 (but then again their 1633 was slow for its class)... have a look at CD/DVD 101.

I would get a mobo that supports SLI so that way you can buy another 7800 in the future.

Like people just have $500 to throw around

Also maybe 1x 250gb wd or seagate hard drive/sata. Cost $2000 up.

Wow .. not a copy-past-and-piss-off-the-admin-post ... last time i checked, 250GB drives dont cost that much
