APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: As soon as possible but I have no preference whatsoever
BUDGET RANGE: 350 and downwards (note that this is for just the CPU, GPU, Mobo, case and power supply, and the optical drive)
SYSTEM USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: Basic web browsing, music, word processing, but looking to upgrade in the future
PARTS NOT REQUIRED: Mouse, Keyboard, Speakers, Monitor, Hard drive
PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: Newegg is preferred but if there is a better deal else where I'll take it
COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: US
PARTS PREFERENCES: No cares at all
OVERCLOCKING: No SLI OR CROSSFIRE: No
MONITOR RESOLUTION: 1280x1024
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: I'm really here just to verify that the current parts I have are all compatible. As of now, I've got a hard drive and a mother board, a CPU and a GPU picked out. I'll probably go out and grab 2 gbs of ram, so if you have a good link it'd be much appreciated. Also, since I know nothing about cases or power supplies, if someone could find one for me it'd be much appreciated as well. As for aesthetics, I couldn't care less. So the cheaper (in price, not quality ) the better. I'm also hoping to upgrade over the next few years so I want a power supply that can handle upgrades (I'm not sure if that made sense, but from what I understand, better GPUs and CPUs and stuff take more watts, so I'd want a decent amount of extra). Above all, I want to keep it cheap.
I just realized I never posted the links so here they are... my bad
