okay I have a friend who i'm trying to help build a computer and he does not have a lot of money so I think i'm giving him a pretty good deal,you tell me?

300w power supply unit
pentium D 915 2.8 w/ heatsink and cooling fan
intel D945Gcl motherboard
1 G hynix pc 4200 ddr2 ram
pny 7600gs 512 ram pcI Express

I am still using the motherboard right now but If he decides to buy these I will use the money to buy me a new motherboard. I am asking 200 dollars (I bought the 7600 1 month ago for 200 dollars :mad: and he is going to order the rest of the computer from newegg for an additional 200 including vista 80 Gig of 7200 8MB cache sata II a windowed case w/LEDs and dvdand cd burner. so...


300wPSU
windowed LED case
D945Gcl motherboard
pentium D 915 CPU w/ heatsink & fan
1G hynix pc 4200 DDR2 ram
pny 7600 gs 512 graphics card
80G sata II 8M cache 7200rpm
lite-on cdrw dvdrw
windows vista basic

a total price of 400 dollars for this possibly 350, the parts i'm giving him are 1 month old and are in perfect condition.

well i'm basically making this thread for him for reference what do you guys think ? good deal ?

I agree with Kilauea, what does he intend to do with it. For word processing/internet use that computer will be more than adequate. It looks as if it would even do well as a light gaming rig. Also, what are the specs on that PSU? (amperage on the +12(s) and what not).
 
well he's mainly goingto be using it for internet browsing and like you said probably light gaming, that was my configuration 1 month ago and I can tell you it's pretty good plays half life2 and counter strike source on fairly high settings smoothly also plays rome totalwar very well. I think he like to run scripts on chat rooms like booter programs and stuff too, I dont know much about that stuff though the PSU 18 amps on +12v one and two
max power +3.3v / 17A, +5v / 22A, +5VSB 2A. If thats what you meant on the psu ?
 
Well, if that computer worked well for you, I see no reason why it wouldn't work for him too. Sure enough its a computer that would be paid 350-400$, so you can't expect performances of one paid 1000$. As an example, here is a computer someone is trying to build for as cheap as possible http://www.computerforum.com/82422-my-friend-needs-computer-pre-built-300-less.html#post639495
Compared to that 303$ computer, the one you are suggesting seems like such a deal.
 
Amperage on the PSU is fine, but a higher wattage PSU may be desirable for that system, especially if you want to upgrade eventually.
