Hi there! Two weeks ago I started to read THGs intending to choose a new computer by myself. I focused my research on 6 more expensive parts: Processor, MotherBoard, Graphic Card, Hard Disk, Memory and DVDRW. I don't want to spend much more than $800 on this parts.
Here is my preliminary configuration:
Processor: Intel P4 3.0E GHz (HT†/800MHz FSB/90nm/1M L2/FC-PGA478/875P Chipset)
MB: Intel D875PBZ (875P Chipset/Dual Channel DDR/ATX/AGP 8X)
Graphic: ATI RADEON 9600XT (128MB DDR/128-bit/500MHz/VGA+TV+DVI)
HD: Seagate ST380817AS Barracuda (7200.7/SATA NCQ/80 GB/1.5Gb/s)
MEM: Kingston KVR400X64C3A/512 (512MB/400MHz/DDR/PC3200/DIMM 3-3-3/Dual Rank)
DVDRW: LG GSA-4163B DVD+RW
Prices:
Processor = 198
MB = 172
Graphic = 180
HD = 72
Memory = 132 (2x512)
DVDRW = 78
---------------
TOTAL = 832
Please, give me opinions about this configuration.
Is there any part that I should spend more or less money compared with the whole system performance?
Thanks in advance!
Regards from Brazil!
