hey im building a new comp for my friend and i wanna get some more opinion/critisizm from people more knowledgable then me. OK first cost is around $800-$950 USD. its going to be used for gaming, surfing and music. the best game that is going to be played is Need For Speed Underground (1,2). He WILL NOT be playing top of the line games (doom farcry etc)
This is what im thinking (~$930 USD)
Kingwin mutant X gaming case, with 430 watt psu ($62)
Samsung CD-RW drive ($33)
Artec DVD_ROM drive ($30)
Maxtor 80 gig 7200 rpm 8 mb cache hdd (SATA) ($70)
Corsair DDR400 PC-3200 512(2x256) RAM ($90)
AOpen NForce 2 Ultra 400 AMD socket A ($85)
Athlon XP 2800 Barton 333 FSB 512 cache CPU ($135)
EVGA FX5700 Ultra 128 GPU ($165)
ViewSonic 19" CRT-Monitor ($180)
Again i dont need a top of the line system for this. this doesnt include a keyboard and mouse because he owns one already. Thanks in advance!
