Hi, this will be my first build from scratch and I'm hoping not to bork anything up too bad.. I am looking to spend less than 2000 total including the LCD (1600X1200 min). My general use is somewhat desktop multitasking heavy; running a large spreadsheet, Itunes, a database program, 3-4 tables of online poker and 1-3 other things(may add a TV card later). I would like to play FPS games fairly well too.
Currently plan on this setup:
Processor: AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+
GPU: eVGA e-Geforce 7800 GT PCI
MOBO: eVGA 133-K8-NF41 nForce 4
RAM: Corsair TWINX1024-3200C2PT 1GB DDR400 XMS3200
HDD: WD 250GB SATA 16/mb buffer
DVD: Liteon SOHW-1693S 16X Dual Layer DVD±RW Drive
PSU: Antec TRUEPOWERII TPII-550 ATX12V 550W
CASE: ATRIX CSCI-A9001-C4
LCD: Dell 2001FP
Still wondering whether to go ahead and get the X2 or to get a single-core that would be cheaper and better for gaming. Does the X2 really help a ton in desktop multitask use? Also still in the air a bit about the PSU/CASE.
