Hi,
I could use your advise on this system I put together.
First of all, I live in the Netherlands so prices may vary.
Then, I'm currently using AMD Sempr. 3000+, ATI Radeon 9550 (256mb), 1 gig DDR and was originaly thinking of buying a new AGP-card (like 7600 GT), but decided it was probably better to go for a new build.
This is what I came up with:
- Board: MSI K9N Neo ($90,-)
http://msicomputer.co.uk/products.aspx?product_id=703670
- Processor: AMD Athlon™ 64 X2 EE 3800+ ($180)
- GPU: XFX 7600 GT/650 Fatal1ty 256mb ($205)
http://www.informatique.nl/cgi-bin/iqshop.cgi?M=I&A=501395&REF=FP04012007 (dutch page, but readeble)
- Mem: Buffalo 1 GB DDR2-667 Kit ($130)
- HD: Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 (250GB) ($100)
- DVD RW: AOpen DW1670 ($45)
- Case: Antec New Solution NSK4400 (incl 380W) ($95)
- Extra fan: Sharkoon Silent Eagle Fan 2000 ($10)
This is for Euro 650,- or US $840
I've added the dutch prices in $, so you can get an idea of the difference in prices.
This is about the max I want to spend so adding stuff means subtracting other stuff...
I'll be using this for games like M2TW, Oblivion e.d.
I'm not sure about the GPU (Radeon X1950Pro?), power supply and maybe investing some more to go for Core 2 Duo 6300.
What do you think, is this a balanced system? Is it suitable for future upgrades (in a year or so)?
Thanx
By the way, I'm not much of a pc-wizzard
