Is this a gaming build?
What brands are the RAM and the hard drive.

Ihatewalmart · 02-20-2006, 08:46 PM

yeah of course this is a gaming build
the hardrive is a maxtor and the ram is
Majorbrand

1) Go with AMD for gaming. AMD > Intel for gaming
2) Get either a Seagate or Western Digital hard drive. They are more reliable
3) Get some corsair valueselect if you want cheapo RAM.
4) You should get a new PSU.

it seems you're building a budgety budget system. any way what's your budget?

BillGates · 02-20-2006, 10:20 PM

How about you replace that processor with a Athalon 3000+ or 3200+, and replace the vid card with a 6800GS. Go with the brands mentioned above for the hdd. Ive never had a problem with Maxtor drives either.

Ihatewalmart · 02-22-2006, 08:13 PM

my budget is $200.00
with no hard drive no case and no memory

IS this a joke? A decent video card is going to be pushing $200, never mind the mobo and cpu.

I sort of agree save up more money by then the new Processors and G80 will be released.

Alternativly you can go to the low end PC building forum for help on building a low end PC.
