well all my plans has gone astray..............................................
now i can;t find work with the computing companies in this tiny city of mine (too young generally, some were even requiring me to drive
) and well the mcse people is sorta full and i don't like study by my self too much....
so now i;m stuck with about $700 and wants a socket 939 PCIE
system that can be OCed a little (with stock cooling and oc only need to set few jumper and set in bios) the PCIE card i wish for a 256 mb but i guess 128 could do (btw is there any agp to PCIE adaptors cuz i got a readeon 9200 256mb AGP 8X and if i could use that on a PCIE board then i'm set
BTW i got $700 CAD <b>not</b> USD............. [cry]
i might get about 150 if my report card is good but......
so any suggestions?

Here is my suggestion (in Canadian Currency - prices from NCIX.com) :
CPU : Athlon 64 3000+ BOXED (204$)
MOBO : MSI RS480M2-IL (123$) <-- With onboard Video
MEMORY : 1Gig Kit (2x512) Corsair DDR400 CL2.5 (131$)
HDD : SEAGATE BARRACUDA 7200.7 160GB HARD DRIVE 7200RPM SATA W/ NCQ 8MB CACHE 8.5MS 3.5IN OEM (120$) <-- 20Gig HDD is pretty much outdated
PSU/CASE : You can keep what you have for now
TOTAL : 580$
This setup would be easily upgradable to faster CPU in the future and you will be able to slot a PCI-EXPRESS GPU when you need more GPU power in the future. Since the setup would not use dedicated graphic card and not much add-in cards and drives, your actual PSU should be enough if it's compatible with the motherboard (not too old). If you need to buy a PSU, I recommend Antec TruePower Series which offers a great value/reliability.
Some might argue that the mobo is based on the ATI chipset and some people would prefer nForce4, but I personnaly think that both chipsets are performing really well. The MSI/ATI mobo offers all you need : SATA, onboard audio AND video, FireWire, etc... Very good value and I don't think it's possible to buy nForce4 motherboard with integrated video yet.
By the way, NCIX.com never beat street price in the Montreal area, so you might get better price or equivalent price at a local computer store in your area.
NOTE : Forgot to mention that A64 3000+ should be easily overclockable to 2.2GHz or more with stock HSF.

No offence to TheRod, but I think my specs are slightly better. You don't need to pay the extra money for the Corsair name on the RAM (ask Crashman if you don't believe me)... the 160GB is a little more than necessary I think... and what kind of a gamer wants to be running onboard Video. I know that when I talk with my buddies about the rig I am running I wouldn't want to answer "I don't have one" when asked what kind of GPU I'm running.

But he is soooo close to having enough money for a really good system. He is right on that cusp of the hill... and I think he should try to roll down the light side into the holly land of high resolution, and fast frame rates... and try to avoid rolling backward into the dark valley of slow block figures moving around his screen. That extra little bit of cash makes a big difference in the rig.

Look like you've done this before! Im sure you stil drop a few tears(how old are you)so your mom/gf/wife whatever let you spend more money on your rig :wink:
This is the best combo of hardware/sentimental advices I saw in a while! =)

- For the CPU you are right, it's cheaper their. Get this one!
- I agree for that the Corsair brand-name is not necessay. But the kit is fairly cheap for quality ram. In fact, the Corsair Kit is a bit cheaper tham OCZ for the same TIMINGS.
- You are right that a 80Gig HDD is enough, but the 160Gig offer a better price/size ratio and with today's Video, Photos, MP3, Games that always takes more and more space the extra 80Gigs is worth for the long run. But the 40$ saved on the HDD could be spent on a GPU.
- TheHolyLancer never mentionned that he needed HIGH-PERFORMANCE in games. From what I understand in is e-mail he wants to keep is system to low-cost.
- I still recommend the ATI based board, because it's cheap and it integrates the GPU. I doubt that the nForce4 would offer much more for the extra money.
If we mix our recommandation we would get this stuff :
CPU = Venice 3000+ (180$)
MOBO = MSI RS480M2-IL (123$) <-- Integrated GPU
MEMORY = 1Gig Kit (2x512) Corsair DDR400 CL2.5 (131$)
HDD = Seagate 80GB HD (80$)
TOTAL = 510$
with a decent gpu ...
GPU = eVGA e-GeForce 6600GT 128MB (225$)
TOTAL = 730$
If PSU needed, add 60$

Where did you see the Corsair kit? I didn't even look at the price (or at least didn't let it sink in).
And I guess you are right... if he wants a system for daily tasks (not gaming) then the integrated video is probably good enough... and you are also right that if this is not primarily a gaming rig, and will be used more for storing pics, and videos than the 160GB might be worth his while.
You would have your work cut out trying to convince me of that MSI mobo over the DFI LP NF4... but I guess he has to decide what he is doing with it. I really like the NF4 boards and am not a big fan of ATI (but I guess this is personal preference). I am still trying to justify spending an extra 50 bucks on a sweet OCers dream board with all the fancy trimmings, but maybe you are right and I should just bite my toungue on this one. But all it would take is a little bit of extra crying and he could probably get it.

I really like nForce4 too, I even own one, not an OCer best, but a good bargain : Gigabyte GA-K8NF-9. The ATI AMD Chipset was very well received by all review site, it overclocked well too. I don't why an ATI based mobo would not be as good as nForce4. Maybe since it's a new chipset, it have some drivers issue... But nForce4 have some too! I never had that much trouble with a chipset before, my nForce4 mobo gave a lot of headaches that were all corrected with driver's update or manual configuration, which is quite annoying!

Yeah, that corsair looks like a good deal... if I was him though, I might pay the few extra dollars on shipping and buy it all from one place... depending on where he lives. I live in Alberta, but Anitec is cheap enough that they usually win my business even with the shipping costs. But if he was in Ontario or something than obviously Anitec is not the way to go.

As I stated, here in the Montreal area we can buy stuff for nearly the same price in local store. So, I don't bother to check online price anymore. If newegg.com would ship to Canada, I would only buy from them, they have much better price for nearly everything.

Anitec have the advantage, but as you see for only 10$ difference and considering shipping cost and the easier support from local store, I don't find it worth to buy my stuff on Anitec. Maybe a complete system might be worth or if I can save some taxes by buying online, it might offset the price difference to a point where online shopping would be worth it.

Anyhow im biased towards <A HREF="http://www.sohodiffusion.com" target="_new">http://www.sohodiffusion.com</A> because I worked there some =).
Now I get around 10% of everything wich is basically what they make on hardware...

I had a "bad" experience with Soho Diffusion. I asked them for a specific graphic card with every reference I could find (from maker, other websites, etc...) and they managed to send me the WRONG card and the only answer I got was, we can't get you the one you want... Even if I specify them EVERYTHING I could, I even insisted on the specific part number and I told them that it would be a NO-BUY if they would come with the wrong part.
I was disappointed by them, maybe they tough I would buy the card anyway. I don't think it'S good business. When a buyer comes with very specific needs, it's better to tell him the truth : WE CAN'T GET THAT PART. They lost business from me! I bought my stuff from Micro-Bytes instead, even if I paid a bit more.

Oh I understand! Never happened to me with them but already happened to me with other smaller shop! And its always frustrating...
And with micro-bytes you can always rough them up a bit, there big enough so you can easily get replacemnt(well its easier!)

Yup! Quebec have a Provincial sale Tax that is applied after the GST.
For example :
10.00$ purchase...
10 x 1.07 = 10.70$ (GST)
10.70 * 1.075 = 11.50$ (PST)
We often says that we have a 15% Tax.

I'm glad that Anitec is one of my local shops, along with NCIX, flycomputers, and atic. All have very good prices on some items. I doubt that holy is so lucky though, he lives in The Su (Sault Ste Marie), so I doubt local shops have much to offer.
I dont know why you guys push the higher priced ram though. Anitec will sell a pair of 512 Samsung TCCC sticks for under $100. Since it works fine at cas2.5 and OCs fairly well at that...

Change our recommendation to put this RAM instead of the "brand name" ram. This should be fine. I personnaly have "no-name" Infineon memory stick, they don't overclock much, but it's enough to run my system at 3800+ speed.

ops forgot to mention that i will be heavy gaming and need it to at least run half life two, in q few years i'm hoping to go into multi core programming so............ that have to be taken in account (i think all 939 mobo can use x2s tho with a bios flash) and if i only need like $200 extra for a killer gig then i wait...... or i jsut find some lawn mowing work for like some time.... (no computer busting, but at least i get some $$)
BTW i live in northern Ontario and the biggest computer shop here is damned staples!!!! >< [cry] and well if u see their prices and stockes you would cry too........ and the local shops is currently offering PIII and P4 1.8................................. (something tells me that they are here to fill in the need for basic computing needs...........) not very much computer demand in this town even though it is a medium sized city.......
from reading all the posts above i get that brand ram is not required
hdd upgrade for 80 gig might be better
cpu i can only afford low end....
gpu might only for on mobo and need more $$ for a good one...
btw the sweating thing does not work as in my dad's side everyone gets a sweating problem, i could be running 100m and then sweat like a pig..... and i already begged enough of my mom lol.....<P ID="edit"><FONT SIZE=-1><EM>Edited by TheHolyLancer on 07/06/05 09:18 AM.</EM></FONT></P>

DO NOT BUY FROM STAPLES!!!!!!
Check out the shipping rates, I will put good money on the fact that you could order from Anitec or some other Ontario shop for a better price than you will find locally.
From what I have noticed the rates don't go up too much from shipping from Anitec to Calgary, and Anitec to Ontario.
Brand name RAM is not REQUIRED in fact I build many systems with budget RAM, but when I intend to OC hard I will not skimp on the RAM.
