I am trying to build a budget A64 comp. This comp just going to be used to basic stuff like surfing the internet, applications, programing, etc. Also going to use to do SOME gaming, like Enemy Terriotry, simcity, etc, but no any of very new games. Don't have any $$ to buy any those intensive games I usually don't time to play games and try and control myself, so Gaming won't be my main priority Anyhow, I want this be A64 comp since all benchmarks show it excel in these areas.
I already have a nice 80 GB HD, monitor, and DVD-RW drive. I have very old graphics card that I could reuse, not exactly type it is, all I can tell is 32 MB with TV out put and 4x AGP card. Probably need get new vid card though. I have budget of $600 max (SHIPPED!) to buy the rest of the components. What is basically need is CPU/MB/Memory/case/PSU + maybe vid card.
This is what I am thinking about right now:
A64 3400 newcastle socket 754
MSI Neo platinum
cosair 2.5 CAS DDR 400 512 MB
Thermaltakes 480w PSU
Some case for maybe $80
Get vid card for about $50
This comes out to roughly $600. Any other suggestion specs for improvements.
