Working on a budget here.....about $1000-1200 to build a box, but any money that I save I can use to put toward a new 19" LCD monitor
Focus on being future proofed and upgradeable
Vista friendly?
I multi task a lot, but don't think I can afford dual-core right now...so plan to start with just amd64 and upgrade later
Case & PSU: how much required? is 350w enough?
Mobo: socket939, amd64x2 compatible, SATA2...what boards do you recommend?
Graphics: don't think that I can afford much more than a 6800GS, maybe a 6800GT.
Ram: 1gb or 2gb, dual channel?
DVD writer: any suggestions on a good unit?
Wireless: PCI cards? are they any good...what to look out for?
