3.motherboard
4.memmory
5.hard disk
6.video card
7.cd rom
8.floppy drive



thing i came up with myself atm:

1. Super-Flower SF-461BL Blue (400 Watt) $ 110

2. AMD Athlon XP 2500+ (333FSB/512KB) bulk $ 117

3. Abit NF7-S Nforce 2 $ 137

7.AOpen 56x CD-Romspeler IDE $28

8. floppy drive samung $12

total price about: $810 while i can spend $930

in this price isnt a fan since i dont know what a good one os, id appriciate if som1 here knows a very good fan that doesnt costs more then 30 bux

you guys might think the price's are a lot, but i live in holland, all the prices were in euro's, its a dutch internet shop, one of the cheapest but still expensive for USA standards, what i did was do the prices x 1.27, since the euro-dollar is 1 = 1.27 atm

hope you guys can help me spend my 900 bux in the best possible way so i get the fastest pc possible, also i want it to be able to overclock VERY well, just put up the 7 points like i did and write behind it the products i should get, alll good as long its under 930 bux all 2gethr

thx a lot
 
now im using p3 500 mhz LOL

and its for gaming, like 10 hours a day

and very fast is an amd 2500+ so i can clock it good, wud be my 1st clock tho, or a p4 2.6c or 2.8c
 
If it's mainly gaming the video card is a huge factor. If you can, get a 9800 pro minimum, a 9800xt is even better. I'm using a 9600 pro and the 9800's crush it in fps. Idon't know anything about the AMD's so that's about all the help I can give.
 
No one should pay more then $1 per GB of IDE hard disk space these days. $71 for 40GB is not a good move
