the doubt about the GPU is also budget and also I don't play much games and if I play so mostly old games.
I uses DDR2 on purpose because the DDR3 is VERY much expensive now in my country.

thank u all for the help, this is a great forum!
 
Compared to my Dell Precision 220 with a 1 ghz Pentium 3, that will rock!
It will also rock against allmost current AMD systems and many Intel based systems.
 
Not bad at all :)

I'd get the 8600 GT, just because it supports DirectX 10 and HD video.

The DRW-1814 BLT is very good. I have no idea about the other one.

If you don't intend to overclock remove the Typhoon, you don't need it.
 


thx all for yr comments, I really worked hard on this system.

about the GPU I actually thought the 7300 also has HD video becoz its writen HDTV on its specifications, maybe I wrong, I don't understand what is the difference between this HDTV, HDCP and all this ****, someone can please tell me?
HDMI I know its the plug, but as I know its through DVI and not other type.
