Computer for my brother
Hi, my brother is at college and after his lap top died he has some friends that offered to build a computer for him given that he got the parts. He asked me to find some for him. He has a 700 dollar budget, and i came up with this:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16827151086 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811154041 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822135106 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814130073 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817129003 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820609058 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...2E16813157103R http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819115005 Do you see any compatability issues here? is there anything i can add? Is there anything that would give me more bang for the buck? Thanks in advance. |

You need DDR2 memory for that motherboard.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...k=&srchInDesc= Don't get an open-box motherboard. If possible, go for something better (unfortunately more expensive): http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813128017 Get a DVD burner instead; they're only $10 more. If you're gonna get a separate PSU, you might as well buy a case without a PSU since they cost less. Also consider switching to AMD instead. You can save $40-60 on the processor, which could be spent on a higher quality motherboard, among other things. |

Also, I don't need anything extra for cooling do i? Last edited by awesome sauce; Jan 28, 2007 at 10:00 PM // 22:00.. |

Bleh, stick with E6300 you wanted originally. That thing is a super overclocker, even with its stock cooler.
The motherboard eggroll suggested is nice. Kinda limited in terms of the memory you can use, but it's not hard to find 240-pin DDR2 800 at 1.8v these days. As for the video card, I think there's no question but that in the sub-$100 price range, ATI offers greater bang for the buck. This little baby is a super bargain, imho: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814102048 |
