Hey, my computer is really terrible and starting to tick me off so I've decided to buy a new one, I just need help with some of the parts.
I already have an idea of what to get for most parts, but I'm not exactly the most technicalogicaly advanced person around so I need help deciding whether or not I've made the right choices or if some of the parts are priced too high.
Here is my idea:
(part) (price)
Case: CAS-K230 Mid Tower w/400W PSU $45
CPU: Athlon 64 FX 53 Socket 939 $1119
RAM: Kingston 512MB PC-3200 DDR400 SDRAMx2 $114x2
Hard Drive: Western Digital 200GB w/8MB cache $140
MotherBoard:ASUS A8V Deluxe VIA K8T800Pro
w/ GB LAN, IEEE 1394 $165
Video Card: ASUS V9999 Gamer Edition/TD/256
GF 6800 256MB DDR3 $559
CD Drive: ASUS 52x32x52 CD-RW Black $39
Monitor: Samsung SyncMaster DynaFlat 955DF(blacK) $249
Mouse: Logitech MX-510 Performance Optical (Red) $49
Keyboard: Logitech Deluxe Plus Black Keyboard PS/2 $15
Sound Card: Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2
ZS Platinum Pro $289
Speakers: Logitech X-620 6.1 $99
TOTAL: $2996
oh, and all these prices are in canadian (sorry for any inconvienence), you can check out every thing on there at Canada Computers, I'm only a student so I don't have too much money though I am willing to spend as much as necessary (I make about $7 and hour if that helps for some reason), and I will be using this computer for competitive gaming at LAN Party's (I would online but I am stuck with dail-up ).
If you need any more information just ask.
Thnx in advance,
McG
