This is my first time building my own system completely on my own. Shopping around online and reading this forum and others, I'm looking at a rig that's around $500. I'm on a tight budget and would like to keep the price approx. the same. My build:
CPU: Intel Core 2 DUO E8500
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115036
Video Card: GeForce 9800 GT
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127379
Motherboard: MSI P43 Neo3-F LGA 775 ATX
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130185
Memory: G.Skill 2x1GB (2 GB total)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231098
DVD Burner: HP DVD/CD Burner w/ Lightscribe
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827140030
Case: Logisys XBlade (Power supply included)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811105113
I'm reusing an old HDD, sound card, and speakers.
How's this build look? Is there anything I'm forgetting? I'm the least confident on the motherboard choice; it's a little overwhelming with all the options and trying to keep the price low. I'd appreciate any help or advice you guys can give. Thanks.
