I will probably be getting a new computer for my birthday. My mom will probably pay $1500 for it. I will probably be ordering parts off of http://www.newegg.com and have a local computer place put them together for around $150. So i would like to have someone put together a list of parts that will fit into that budget.


Some thing I will definately want:
19" Thin screen monitor < $300(trust me they have probably 5 or so)
and i will be needing a new set of speakers(nothign too powerful cuz my comps in an office)


I will mainly be using my comptuer for Adobe Photoshop and I will probably get Cinema 4D soon so i will need a processor and RAMM they will let me do those thing smoothly and quickly


I do like comptuer alot and I do alot on them, but I dont really do that much towards building them. Thats why I would like it if someone of you guys put together a list for moi.


Muchily appreciated,
~Imp
 
I think I read that but it just gave suggestions. I would like an actual list of things if it wouldnt be too hard

That one has some stuff but it doesnt really have what Iam looking for.

I am an AMD, Nvidia guy

and i would like a cool little case with neon in it


PLEASE

This is a nice system, you could cut down on the price of the PSU and make your budget. Or even cut down to an X2 4200+ instead.

oh why is that


small price


i dont even know if my mom will pay 1500 but i hope so
 
infact thats why i joined this site...too learn more about computers than i already do and help other people out if i know how...i will no doubt be getting help from these same wonderful guys when i build mine too...maybe not so as much in choosing the parts and components but more so when i actually have to physically put stuff in the case and do bios and install drivers and such
 
Exacly new chipsets will come out and new cpu's and definitly 2 new graphic cards

Try building it when you got the money and is ready to order

At least that is what i would do....

The AMD X2 series is best for both gaming and video editing.
