I have appx. $600 to buy a new computer. All I need is the following:
CPU - 2800+ (too much? should I try to get a 2500+ and OC?)
Motherboard - GA-7NNXP (I like the 8 IDE channels available)
RAM - 1GB Corsair XMS series (wouldn't mind kingston or mushkin but don't know which is good or bad; I would like to hit 200MHz FSB...would PC2700 be okay?)
CPU fan - Smart Fan II (stick with a reliable brand)
Thermal Grease- Arctic Silver 5?
I currently am running a 1600+, KX7-333R, 512MB PC2700, Smart Fan II, Arctic Silver II.
I am into some multimedia web design, not too heavy with gaming, but like graphic intensive programs like Photoshop and such.
Using the above info, what should I get??
