[jask489]

So I've put together a build which I'll be getting soon...
IT'S REALLY BUDGET, and I probably won't be able to get anything better otherwise it'll get too expensive...

Attention: I changed part of the build! Please see below!

Here is the correct (new) build:

CPU: Intel Core i3-3220
RAM: G-Skill Ripjaws-X 4GB Kit
MoBo: ASUS P8H61-M-LX3-R2
Graphics: AMD Radeon HD 6670
Hard Drive: WD Blue Caviar SATA3 1TB
Case: Coolermaster Elite RC-372
PSU: Thermaltake OEM 500W
DVD Drive: SATA DVD-RW Lite-On
Extra Fans: Coolermaster 120mm System Case Fan x1

PLEASE EVALUATE! and let me know if there are any issues with this build!

Thanks,
jask489

in all honesty with the system your building its pretty much going to be a one off build, not the best components, just go for an amd 4300, spend cash on a better gpu and be done with it, plus you dont need a 1tb hdd, 500gb with save you cash especially if your buying from msy.com.au and 500gb is plenty, i had about 200 movies stored on my laptop which held 500gb and it still wasnt full plus about 10 games, and even opt for a shaw case over a coolermaster to again save cash to go towards a better gpu

Thanks everyone once again for all the advice.

But I have an important announcement.

My dad 'brought in' his old computer on the weekend. It's got a Hyper-Threaded Pentium 4 and an AMD/ATI Radeon 46xx. Also about 750GB of HDD space.

For now I'll be fine with it. But later, when it too dies, I'll get a new PC.
At that time, I'll be back with a refreshed build on a new thread.

Case closed.

Pentium 4 is as old as I can remember. Oh Wait!! It was the Pentium 3 which I remember from my childhood. Pentium 4 was like when I was 9 or 10. In any way, that stuff is ancient. I mean you can build a better build than the Pentium 4 one for like 200 dollars. Really, you can.

The Pentium 4 is like extremely old and less powerful processor for today's needs.

Anyways If you are going to stick with the pentium, then make sure that you go for a Linux Distro as Windows Runs very slow on it.

Some good lightweight distros are :

1. Lubuntu
2. Xubuntu
3. Peppermint OS
4. Linux Lite
5. Linux Mint 15 XFCE

I hope this helps you..
