Hello all,
I am in the process of buying a new PC, Here is what I have so far:
Thermaltake Tsunami Black $109
DFI LanParty UT RDX200 CF-DR $164
AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ Manchester 2000MHz $357
ASUS EAX850XT/PE/2DHTV/256 Radeon X850XT Express x16 $385
CORSAIR ValueSelect 2GB (2 x 1GB) SDRAM DDR 400 (PC 3200) $154
Maxtor DiamondMax 10 250GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s $ 88
ViewSonic VA912b Black 19" 8ms LCD $256
ZALMAN CNPS9500 LED $ 57
Total at NewEgg $1571
I still have in my possesion:
1 16X DVD writer
1 DVD-ROM
1 Wired keyboard
1 Optical Mouse (suggestions a new mouse would be nice)
If you have any suggestions, I would appreciate them. I have $1500 to spend on a PC, plus a little overhead. Needless to say I would like to bring the price down a little.
Primarily I will use thie machine for Gaming. I play Shooters and very little of anything else.
The second thing I am looking to do is use this PC to create Shapes in Visio. The shapes I have created so far are very detailed, and I need a PC that can handle this type of work, and an LCD that will make the shapes look clean.
Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
Also if I missed anything let me know.
If there is something better for less, I am more than happy to change anything.
This PC will be the primary PC for years to come, so I need to make it as good as possible for the money I am spending.
Thanks in advance for your help.
