Hey everyone,
I've been reading/researching for a while now and this is what I've come up with so far. I'm building a DAW, so pretty much for recording/editing audio.
CPU - AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core Processor 3800+ Socket AM2 (65W) Retail ($109)
MOBO - Asus M2N4-SLI nForce4 SLI Sempron/Athlon 64(FX)(X2) SktAM2 DDR2 ATX Motherboard w/Audio, Gigabit LAN, RAID/Serial ATA ($95) (specs can be found here -> http://www.asus.com/products.aspx?l1=3&l2=101&l3=323&model=1266&modelmenu=1)
Memory - 2 x Corsair VS1GB533D2 1GB DDR2-533 PC2-4200 ($140)
DVD Drive - Toshiba SD-R5372 16X DVD±RW Drive (not really important) ( $28 )
HD - 1 x 250GB Hitachi SATA 7200RPM, 1 x 400GB Hitachi SATA 7200RPM($180)
Case/Power - Logisys CS51WBK Area 51 Mid Tower Case w/Window (with 450W ATX power supply) ($52)
Video - MSI G4MX4000-T64 GeForce MX 4000 AGP 8X 64MB DDR Video Card w/TV-Out (basic, no gaming/imaging needed) (Specs: http://www.msicomputer.com/product/p_spec.asp?model=G4MX4000-T64&class=vga) ($30)
Audio Interface - M-Audio Audiophile 24/96 ($99, already have it)
Cooling Device - I'm CLUELESS!
So around $650?
What do you guys think about this?
Thanks!
