Extreme6484 Posted September 9, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2004 Mostly games (no major art programs). It doesn't have to be top of the line, I just dont want to have to upgrade in a yr from now.*also what is the dif. between the AMD Athlon 64 2800+ and the 3200+ (worth that extra money?)

lamuskrat Posted September 10, 2004 Report Share Posted September 10, 2004 Wattage on power supply? I Just missed a 200 gb hdd from them folks for $89.00 (matter of the $$ at that time). Other than that all looks good.Not a noticable difference in clock speed to justify the additional $$$, on the processor issue. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
robshanahan Posted September 10, 2004 Report Share Posted September 10, 2004 If you plan on gaming, your video card is going to hold back your system. (Although it depends on your monitor too, if you have a 15" lcd it won't really matter) I would recommend at least the FX 5700, if not the 5950 or the Radeon 9800pro.I think you can save some money on memory and just get one stick of the 512 instead of getting 1GB (if you aren't video editing, I personally don't think you need more than 512), I would like more opinions on that though.
