I am looking to spend under 300 dollars on this, and i realy like this config here, i have been working in this for a few months already and i am still gathering the money.
So i was hoping some of you could tell me if this is a good setup and if i can upgrade any thing, from the four parts listed above.
And i would also like to know if the HDD can be hooked up to the new setup, i don't know if it has SATA or IDE, i can check but i need to know what the connectors look like.
@neon I know i was going with a raidmax case with a 500 watt PSU. The case was nice, the back panel and the side came off so it was easier to instal the mobo but i decided to go with quality rather than ease, and the antec case is also very roomy.
@helloworld
I know but i actually want to stick with AMD and also i won't be getting as good integrated graphics on my mobo with an AMD mobo. The foxconn has the X4500HD from Intel and as far as integrated ggraphics go this is probably the best one, i think. And plus i wan't a computer that will last a long time. which is why the foxconn supports upto 16 gigs of RAM
Take a look at the latest best graphics cards for the money, they now have the intel graphics chipsets listed, the x4500 is 6 up from the bottom, whereas the HD3300 is 19 from the top, placing it a good 4 tiers above the intel solution
