I'm planning a build for my son...he's 11 and out grown my graphics. This is a budget build just to get him through the next couple of years...then he can pay his way.
Here is the plan:
LITE-ON 22X DVD Burner Black SATA Model iHAS122-04 - OEM
Item #: N82E16827106287
$21.99
COOLER MASTER HAF 932 RC-932-KKN1-GP Black Steel ATX Full Tower
$149.99
SAMSUNG SpinPoint T Series HD501LJ 500GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive - OEM
$54.99
Hanns·G HW-191DPB Black 19" 5ms Widescreen LCD Monitor - Retail
w/DVI
$119.99
Transcend 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model JM4GDDR2-8K - Retail
$33.99
GIGABYTE GA-EP45-UD3R LGA 775 Intel P45 ATX Intel Motherboard - $119.99
Intel Pentium E5200 Wolfdale 2.5GHz LGA 775 65W Dual-Core
$73.99 (I considered E8500, but for double the cost will it make a dif. with this set up?)
EVGA 9800 GT (already have this)
PC Power & Cool Silencer 500W PSU (already have this)
That's it. I don't know too much, but this is where I'm starting from. I plan on OCing. My goal is to give him a decent start spending as little as possible. Thanks in advance for the input.
