Im building a new computer from scratch, here are the current stats I'm considering:
Case/Mobo/Cooling/PSU: Shuttle XPC SN25P AUD$625=USD$457.60
CPU: AMD Athlon 3500+ (socket 939) AUD$319=USD$233.60
Hard Drive: WD 80GB SATA Hard-Drive AUD$101=USD$74
Optical Drive: LG 52x32x52CD-RW/16x DVD-ROM Black AUD$71=USD$52
G-Card: Albatron Geforce 7800GT OVERCLOCKED AUD$599=USD$438.60
RAM: 1-2GB DDR400 ????
Total(without RAM):AUD$1715 USD$1255.80
Notes: Computer is for playing games such as BF2 etc
Small HD because a file server will be used
RAM amount/quality required unknown (2xDIMM Slots for DDR333/400 on Mobo)
Should I improve my processor? Do I need a better cooling solution? How Much RAM and what quality do I need? Any comments?
P.S Is everyone having a siesta or what?
