I'm going to college next year and was thinking about building a computer to take with me. I was wondering if someone could tell me whether what I have so far would good or could recommend changes. Any help would be appreciated.
What I got so far
------------------------
Case: ENLIGHT Model# EN-7255-AB1 ATX MID-TOWER CASE w/ 360Watt POWER SUPPLY -USB RETAIL $62.00 ~
Power Supply (p4 needs at least 250 watts):
MotherBoard: ASUS P4PE/L Motherboard for Intel P4 478 Retail $112.99 ~
w/ Intel Hyper-Threading Technology, Onboard LAN, SoundMAX Digital Audio System
***1st Intel chips that TRUELY support DDR333 PC2700***
Why a 2.0A 400Mhz? You're buying old parts. For that price you can get a 2.4B 533Mhz. Just incase you go the AMD route (which I recommend), a Nforce2 motherboard with onboard sound will be better than the sound blaster. For all I know, that motherboard that you mentioned has better onboard sound that the soundblaster. I recommend the JB series from Western Digital for hard drives. They have 8MB of cache. You sure you actually need a floppy drive? If you're going to pay for an OS you might as well get WinXP Pro. If you're a student you can get the OS cheap ($80). $150 for a Ti4200 is just not a good buy. Buy a Radeon. Spend a few extra bucks and buy a R9500 Pro.
Remember, this is just my opinion. Check out Newegg.com for prices or pricewatch.com along with resellerratings.com for another vendor.
