What are you going to do with it mostly?? That might depend on what RAM and GPU you get... PSU I would maybe go with Antec... good solid and relatively good priced. RAM say 2x512MB corsair valueram, GPU say, maybe a Nvidia 7600? but again... what's your main use going to be?

no gaming just going on the internet photoshop and some other programs that need alot of cpu and i dont need to overclock

Nukem · 05-21-2006, 04:12 PM

Then I stand at what I said earlier. You can find those parts at decent prices... but again.. who am I??
