Hi, I would like a new gaming rig, and I have about $500 to spend before tax and shipping. I have some equipment that I will use from my old rig. I am interested in overclocking. After doing research over the past month, and still being completely confused, here is what I have come up with.
Cpu - AMD Athlon 64 3000+ ----------
|--------- $230
Mobo - Gigabyte K8N51GMF-9 -----------
Ram - CORSAIR ValueSelect 1GB (2 x 512MB) 184-Pin DDR SDRAM DDR 400 (PC 3200) Unbuffered Dual Channel Kit System Memory Model ---------- $ 75.50
Gpu eVGA GeForce 6600 256MB PCIE (Want to have some Eye candy, Suggestions please.) ------------- $105
Psu (Not really sure what to get, I am all to confused) $$$?
Optical is Lite-on 16x16 DVD+/- R/W (Already have it)
Case (older Midtower from a Previos system. has 3 Fans)
Monitor (Still not sure.)
Keyboard/mouse Existing KeyboardLogitec Optical
Operating system XP Pro SP2
Again, $500, can’t reuse anything, no overclocking.
Thanks.
Any suggestions or input is greatly appreciated.
