Hello everybody, After considering number of posts I have come to this decisioin that I should go for an assembled PC. I have one PC already but that sucks cant run even WinXP properly. Its Dell with 20gb HDD, 256Mb RAM, CD writer, NIC 10/100, 56Kbps modem..bla bla nothing intresting. I wants to make a future prefect PC but economical as well. I know that :ff: AMD will be my best choice because they offer great prices. So, I wants to build a 64bit PC consists of AMD processor which will work fine with Win VISTA. I am not a heavy gamer. I have run warcraft on my old PC and it was working fine for me, didnt find any problem as I havent played so many games on it. Actually, I mean to say that I dont want to buy a graphics card, no sound card, no modem, no network card. Thanks in advance for the replies~!
Ok, so lets get to it. You will need to find these parts on an Austrailian website, but anyways... Motherboard: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813131530 Processor: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16819103539 RAM: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820146970 Large Hard Drive: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16822144153 Small Hard Drives (RAID): http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16822144173 PSU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817103929 HSF: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16835185125 Case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811119104 CD/DVD Drives: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16827152058 Video Card: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814130256 Ok, I think that is about it. You should be able to choose the monitor, mouse, keyboard, and speakers. All of this can change, of course. One of the things you may want to change is SLI. You can go with a non SLI board, an SLI board with one card, or an SLI configuration. I also put in a large HDD and a RAID array. You may want to go with 1 hard drive, or a bigger RAID or whatever. Well, I didn't keep track of the prices but I would imagine it would all cost in the neighborhood of $1200 US. I kept it all reasonable for you.
thanks for reply but thats too expensive for me.........$1200 us bucks...OMG. It seems that you have shown me the very best PC after x2 processors but I dont need this much.......2 GB RAM....wooooooo...... Max RAM I can think of is 1GB....not more than that and if 3700+ is expensive then I will go with 3000+ because it supports 64bit computing also(future protected u know) but not less than that. In case of HDD I am happy with one 120GB not very less nor too much. For the Video Card, I have already specified that I dont need it because I m not a heavy gamer~! But thanks for ur reply neway~!
Actually, you might want to reconsider having some sort of video card. If you don't you will NEED to make sure the motherboard has on-board video, and not all do. If you go that route, understand that the on-board graphics take part of your system RAM as makeshift video card RAM. Also, Vista is apparently going to require a DirectX 9 capable graphics solution to work...something you may want to take note of. Let's see what we can do with an AU store (all prices in AUD). All prices are from PC Maniacs. Motherboard: Abit UL8 939 $87 CPU: Athlon64 3000+ $170 RAM: Corsair ValueSelect PC3200 2x512MB (1GB) $140 Video Card: Leadtek GeForce 6200 128MB $129.00 Hard Drive: Seagate 120GB 8MB cache $111 Optical Drive: Lite-ON DVD-ROM/CDRW $55 Power Supply: SilverStone SST ST46F 460W $102 Case: Antec SLK3000B $71 Total: $865 AUD I don't know off-hand if this includes any applicable taxes, and I think you have to factor in shipping. I did to a cross-reference with Newegg, and came up a little under $610 before shipping, FYI.
wooooohoooooooo.....nice one dude........You know I dont have to buy from Australia. I can get all the peices from NZ and I am not buying all the parts new...some second hand as well~!....I believe it will cost me near about 500 NZD Just one more stupid question.....In future if I wants to increase the Processor to 4000+.......will that mother board support
Assuming you get a Socket 939-based system, yes. In a worst case scenario, you may have to update your BIOS, but that's about it. It sounds intimidating, but companies have made it pretty easy these days. The main thing to pay attention to is your power supply. Make sure you get a good one. I've got a link to a thread I made about it in my sig that should help explain things.
