[mrgeorgedude]

ok ive been doing much research on the whole building computer idea and i think im just about ready BUT...(as some of u still know) im kinda noobish with this stuff and i need to be assured my setup will correctly work together (i THINK its all compatible but i dont wanna pay extra $ for having to buy something i got wrong at first )

here's how it goes...

Case= Antec Lifestyle (sipposeivly comes w/ a good psu)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811129155


CPU = AMD athlon x2 3800+

or if i cant afford that...
AMD athlon 3500+

MOBO= Chaintech VNF4

RAM=Corsair 512mb (will upgrade FOR SURE later)

Now i also dont know what to get as in video cards, hard drives, and cd/dvd drives cuz i dont understand the way they plugin and whats usually compatible ....i wanna try and keep the 3 of those under 250

Now if u suggest a different setup or something thatll be better go ahead and recomend cuz im open for any help

you might want to look into a better mobo, especially if you're going with the X2, but as far as drives, a dvd burner will be around $40, just get one from a company you've heard of. Hard drive depends on what all you plan on using your computer for and how much space you'll need. Id say get at least a 160, will run about $75, amd a sata drive is beneficial. That doesn't leave much for a video card, but I'd look at like the 6800GS or something around there and it'll only be like 30 bucks over the budget you gave
