Hi,
I think I am ready to place an order, but would like to get your input before i do so.
1 - BOX NEXUS BREEZE CASE 350W SILENT
2 - PSU *
3 - MOBO ASUS S939 NF4 PCI-E 8CH GLAN SATA RAID
4 - CPU AMD ATHLON 64 3000+ S939 1.8G BOX VENICE
6 - RAM 1GB Kingston KVR400X64C3AK2/1G
7 - VGA SAPPHIRE X850 XT PCI-E 256MB VGA+DVI+TVO
8 - HDD CAVIAR 250GB SATA3GB/S 7200RPM 16MB
9 - DVD SAMSUNG DVD+-RW DL RAM LIGHTSCRIBE NERO
0 - Sound none
C - OS WIN XP HOME, SP2, UK, OEM (1)
System will be used for gameing.
I am letting the PC shop build this, and that limist my options
1) PSU (+64€)
I mostly wory about the PSU 350W in the Nexus case. I guess the Nexus PSU is ok brand. There is option for 350w, 400w and 500w. The 500w is 64€ more on this 875€ package.
2) Memory (+80€)
Also the memory is 1GB. To get 2GB its 80€ more.
They use Kingston. I will not over clock.
3) Sound (+50€)
Sound is integrated. Some say its not good. But is a cheep soundcard any beter? Audigy4 cost almost as much as the mobo lol.
Sound card options:
- "GAMESURROUND MUSE 5.1 DVD + HEADSET" € 26,21
- "CREATIVE SOUND BLASTER AUDIGY SE" € 35,88
- "HERCULES FORTISSIMO IV SOUND CARD" € 43,68
- "CREATIVE SOUND BLASTER AUDIGY 4 BULK" € 49,16
- "CREATIVE SOUND BLASTER AUDIGY 4" € 66,77
4) CPU (+200€)
Dual core CPU. Hmm that is 200€ more than the singel core...
It would be nice to have 2 CPU's, but I guess I will not even notice it ?
5) Video
I think the Radeon X850XT is good enough for me.
But also considering GF 7600GT. Price is about the same...
I do not think I can save money any where here.
If you could spend 100€ more, what wuold you upgrade ?
What if you had 200€ ?
Will the setup even work lol
Thank You for Your time.
PS.
I could order parts and build it my self, but I wory that I get DOA or break somthing. So I want this PC shop here in Finland to build & test the new PC, so I just can use it
