This is my first attempt at building a rig for myself.
I want to keep the cost of just the "box" to $1000-$1100.
I will be using this rig to game and maybe later add dvd burning capability. The most important thing I want is future upgradability and performance.
Here is what I picked out at newegg so far:
mobo: Asus A7N8X-E Deluxe
Proc: Athlon 2500+ Barton
HD: Western Digital 160 gigabyte sata 7200 rpm
Memory: Mushkin ddr 400 512 mb
Cdrw: Lite on 52x32x52x
3.5" floppy Sony
GPU: Ati AIW Radeon 9600 Pro
Case: Kingwin 10 bay midtower
PSU Enermax Noisetaker 420 watt
CPU COOLING: ThermalTake Volcano 11+
This is just a start.
I want to oc in the future and was wondering if this is a good setup to do it with.
I will not buy a mobo without native serial ata support.
I want the most future upgradability bang for my dollar and the best performance I can get.
Any suggestions are welcomed.
