The last PC I built was my current 1.33 T-Bird, so as you can expect I am way overdue for a new build.
I have not kept up with all of the 'detailed' hardware specs and have only a basic knowledge of what is currently accessible.
I currently have a spare tower that I will be using, as well as a 80gb SATA drive(Likely will upgrade later, but not a necessity at the moment)
Basically, the only parts I need are what are listed below.
I have scoured a number of sites and tried to find the best solutions, attempting to keep price as low as possible.
I do play games, so this has been a factor. I also plan to overclock at some point(Though not immediately) and will upgrade the Heatsink/fan later.
I would appreciate any comments/concerns about the items I have listed. If you can suggest something better, I am all ears..
I used newegg links as a reference point.
Thanks in advance!
