I'm a first time builder, and I've done a lot of research this past week, but I'm still not sure how good my build will be. I am looking for an $800 budget build, capable of running XNA, (a game development software with requirements identical to Visual Studio 2005) and also something I can upgrade later to run Vista and Direct X10. Ok, here's my build:
Asus A8N32 SLI deluxe
AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+
eVGA e-GeForce 7900 GT CO superclocked
Corsair XMS 3500LL Pro Ready (recommended w/ MB, but I can't find it anywhere else...???)
Seagate 320 GB 16 MB cache drive
Soundcard doesn't really matter so I'll just get the cheapest I find, and my friend has a case for me to build on. Only thing I still need is a PSU.
So any comments/suggestions? All this might be a little over budget now, but I plan on doing this 2-3 months from now.
