PC will be mostly for games/webdesigning. My budget is 800€ and so far I have this:

MoBo: Asus P5KC 104,86 EUR
CPU: Intel Core2Duo E8200 2.66 GHz, 6MB BOX 156,90 EUR
GPU: Gainward GeForce 8800 GT 192,04 EUR
RAM: Mushkin PC2-6400 "High Performance" KIT 2048 MB (5-4-11 ; CL=4) 49,62 EUR or Mushkin PC2-6400 "High Performance" KIT 2048 MB 4-4-12 ; CL=4) 49,62 EUR or ?!
PSU: Enermax Liberty ELT500AWT 500W 103,50 EUR or Corsair HX520 99,99 EUR
HDD: Western Digital 320GB, SATA 2, 16MB, 7200 RPM 69,50 EUR
Case: NZXT. Alpha 65,73 EUR
Optical Unit: Samsung SH-S202H BEBE 25,98 EUR
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total: 768 EUR

So what do u guys think about it? I'm not quite sure about RAM and PSU! And about GPU 8800GT vs 9600GT?


And about LCD I would like to have a 20" WS or a 22" but i would prefer 20" - budget is 300€. So far I was looking those:
- Samsung 20" 2043WM Pivot
- Samsung 20" 2032BW WIDE
- Samsung 20" 2032MW
- Samsung 22" 2232BW
- Samsung 22" 223BW
- Samsung 22" 226BW (problems with panels (S is great, A bad, B and C are the worst afaik))
- LG 22" L226WTQ

or sth. else? Sony, NEC?

Thanks

I just picked up the 20" Samsung Syncmaster WideScreen. Amazing monitor. I picked it up for $199 Canadian.

Couldn't have asked for more

Which model?

I've noticed alot of them have different model numbers. One model from Bestbuy - > Futureshop, exact same with a slight different model number.

Like I said I picked it up for $199 CAD and am very happy with it.

I've got a 226 BW from Canada Computers for $309.99 in cash.

So I'm 99% sure that this is my final decision:
