hi, i have planning to build a new comp with the following spec...any comments :confused:

Intel Core 2 Duo E4300 (1.80GHz) CPU/2MB BOX - $160
ASUS P5LD2-SE/C I945P,ConRoe M/B - $90
Kingston DDR-2 667MHz 1G KIT (512Mx2) - $100
Western Digital 250GB 2500YS SATA II/16M HDD - $72
LG GSA-H42N 18X Super Multi DVD Writer - $ 32
Inno3D GF 7600GT 590 PCI-E 256MB Zalman - $126
2theMax MaxPower VP350 420W 12CM.F psu - $40
- (total power 350w, max power 420w)
ATX Case - $25

Total: $640

p.s.
my budget is between $600 ~ $700
is 420w psu good enough for this system?
i am think of 7900gs instead of 7600gt....hard decision :(

Yes - it will be enough for this specs, and it will serve for a long time - so it should be a good thing in next upgrade.

I would rather choose 7900gs - it has better scores, good cooling, and serves for a realy long time. (I know everything of this from personal experience).
 
thx for the advice....i have made a some changes of the spec due to my budget...

AMD AM2 X2 DUAL CORE ADO3600-CU CPU 65w [$111]

ENERMAX 370W EG375P-VE SFMA V2.0 (24P) PS [$55]
- http://www.enermax.com.tw/english/product_Display1.asp?PrID=52
ATX Case [$30]

Total us$640 (budge around $600~700)

i chose am2 because the mobo and cpu are cheaper...if i use e4300 then i better to use 965p mobo...and it costs extra $100 in total

what i concern is that would it be better for the whole system to use am2 3800+ instead of 3600+ (or not much difference)??

i know kingston is a quality brand...but what about cosair ddr2 667? are they good?

the enermax official site said that the eg375p psu has total power of 370w...so the max power would be around 370 x 1.2 = 440w? good enough to run this system :confused:

thx thx
 
thx...it is a very good web site :)

i think i should save up for a bit more for the core 2 duo...by that time the e4300 may be a lot cheaper :cool: (but who knows :P )
