I'm looking to build a new gaming machine in about 2 weeks and could use any suggestions on the components I have selected. I basically want a solid, easy to put together, cool, quiet machine. I'd also prefer not to overclock having not done it before. It wouldn't hurt my feelings to shave a few dollars off this build either . This is what I have picked out:
Seagate Barracuda 7200.9 ST3300622AS 300GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive - OEM $159.00
AMD Athlon 64 4000+ San Diego 1GHz FSB 1MB L2 Cache Socket 939 Processor $334.00
SAPPHIRE 100149 Radeon X1900XT 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 VIVO PCI Express x16 Video Card $519.00
Antec TRUEPOWERII TPII-480 BLUE ATX12V 480W Power Supply 115/230 V UL, TUV, CB, FCC CLASS B $79.99
Antec Performance I P180 Silver Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case $124.99
ASUS A8N-E Socket 939 NVIDIA nForce4 Ultra ATX AMD Motherboard $109.00
2 GB PC3200 Corsair Value Ram - Already Have
