This is my first attempt at building a computer. My major dilemma is in what mobo+cpu to get. I've been looking at a xp 1800 but i'm starting to think that a 1600 or 1700 would be just as good. Here's a run down of the other components i'm looking at:
memory: 256mb ddr pc2100 32x64 (nec)
cd: 56x 90ms (acer)
hd: 40gb eide 7200rpm (seagate)
floppy: 1.44mb (teac)
video: geforce mx400 64mb (eagle)
I'm most interested in gaming and my budget is limited. So any advice on mobo+cpu or any pitfalls you can help me avoid will be greatly appreciated.
