Hi
I am trying to build my new computer from a scratch and with reasonable price , this is what I stopped on this far.I am not very experienced in this so any opinions are welcome! This is what I have in mind so far The board, cheap but has some good reviews. Gigabyte GA-K8NF-9 - 939 (nForce4x) – ATX http://tw.giga-byte.com/Motherboard/..._GA-K8NF-9.htm The CPU AMD Athlon 64 (3000+) VENICE - 512 Cache [939 PIN] Now on graphics card I haven’t decided yet but I thought of taking one of those: Gigabyte 6600GT 128mb DDR - VIVO/DVI - PCX [NX66T128VP] http://www.giga-byte.com/VGA/Product...NX66T128VP.htm or GIGABYTE Radeon X800 128MB - TV OUT / DVI - PCX [GV-RX80128D] http://www.giga-byte.com/VGA/Product...V-RX80128D.htm or GIGABYTE Radeon X800 256MB - TV OUT / DVI - PCX [GV-RX80256D] http://www.giga-byte.com/VGA/Product...V-RX80256D.htm Where the memory is concerned I thought of taking with quantity over quality… and take two sticks of 1GB TwinMos DDR PC3200/400 (TMD) - TwinMos - C2.5 One last thing is HD I though of several options (I don’t really need a lot of space and can always add one more large HD) 1) Take two HD - WD Raptor - 36GB - 10,000RPM - S-ATA and place them in raid-0. http://store.westerndigital.com/product.asp?sku=1496302 2) Or to take one WD Raptor - 74GB - 10,000RPM - S-ATA (for system and swap etc…) and one other large HD for storage. I must say that the raid option looks more appealing to me since raid should give even more speed out of the raptors. Any opinions or change suggestions are welcome Thanks! |
