Budget Conroe Build
Last response: in Systems
I'm going for a high-value/low cost conroe build without skimping on quality components. Its going to be used for image editing mostly with some gaming here and there. Eventually I'll overclock, but not yet; probably with the stock heatsink.
Intel E6400 - $207
Intel HSF - 0
Asus P5B-E - $150
2 GB Mushkin EM6400 (ddr2-800 5-5-5-12) - $230
XFX PVT73GUGD3 7600GT - $133
2 160GB Seagate Sata drives raid 0 - $40 (comp usa black friday deal)
Samsung DVDRW - $30
Coolermaster Centurion 5 - $45
Coolermaster 400W PSU - $25
Microsoft Comfort Curve Keyboard with mouse - $20
Arctic Silver 5 - $6
Dell E207WFP 20" widescreen LCD - $240
Total with tax and shipping came to about $1140. How 'bout them apples.
I guess you can save some money by getting a vanilla 7600GT/GS, smaller display, different ram, etc. but I'm pretty happy with what I got for that price.
