Newbie here needs pro advice

[CreativeOne]

Well the almost final peice of the puzzle has been purchased saturday from Newegg. I ended up getting the AMD 4200+. Of course I cut my budget of a video card way down to crap but i will continue to save up for maybe the X800GTO like endyen said. It so happens my neighbor has the card and hes in love with it and a good recomendation! I 2 day ordered newegg so I will have a follow up within the week soon. Thanks so much for the help.

NewEgg still rocks for me, but ZZF has good stuff to... I used to buy from them when they were PC-Nut, and wish they would have kept the name... but they were sued for using the name somehow...

I almost hit TigerDirect with there free UPS Shipping. but they seemed limited on items

Avoid their rebates like the plague...they avoid paying them likewise....

TigerDirect is not in the same class as NewEgg nor ZZF.
But you can find quality deals there also, it is just not the same class of outfit, IMO.

dont OC! if you dont know what your doing you will screw something up.. its not worth risking your well earned money unless you know you can do it right.

Good advice!! In fact dont ever do anything for the first time, you might screw up. This especially is true of screwing up, if you cant screw up right, you aren't even a good screwer uper.

i was trying to make the point that if your new to it there is considerable risk. i first started OCing on old parts i had that i didnt use anymore. part of learning computers is screwing up.. its what makes it interesting!
