Budget build

[berggren129]

I trying to set up my new build and I have spending my hole day reading in the forum and I have an idea of what I want.
I dont play a lot of games but it happen sometimes.

GIGABYTE GA-P35-DS3L
Intel E8400? or q6600? Think the e8400 is a better choice for me.
GIGABYTE 9600GT 512
WESTERN DIGITAL WD CAVIAR SE 500GB UATA100 7200RPM 16MB

Which speed on my memory do i need?, going for 4*1 GB

Is there any choice I should remake? Is the HD noisy?

tnx for help.

If your doing 4gig of ram, get 2X2, not 4X1. DDR2 800 wil be fine. It will probably be the last of April or the first of May before you'll be able to get an E8400, newegg's ETA is 4/28. I don't see a power supply, if you need one;

Ok, thank you! Thinking of buying "ANTEC ANTEC CASE SONATA III 500W"
Could I save some money and choose a cheaper CPU or is e8400 worth the money?
tnx

I have an E8400, well worth the money

Alright, tnx! how about the Graphic Card? Is it worth the money, I don´t play alot of games, I have my xbox 360 for that. I will connect the computer to my Tv for watching movies. I maybe could settle with a cheaper one? What do you think? Any suggestions?

Well if you dont game much, and you want to set the pc up to watch movies on tv, go for a ATI 3650

Great for watching movies in both HD and SD.
Gaming, no so much. What games do you play when u play them on the pc?
