Building up

[djunknown]

how much is this all going to cost - ie. my budget is unknown but not very big, i wonder if there are any areas i should cut back on products
antec super lanboy case
asus 8an-sli-premium motherboard
athlon x2 processor
graphics card unknown - hopefully save money here
psu - unknown - what power supply do i need to run the stuff
am i missing things?

 

[djunknown]

400 is ok
but then again - i need power supply
graphics card
hard drive
dvd-rw drive
oh i didnt know it was going to add to so much
im guessing i may change the motherboard OR the processor, which would you recommend
computer designed for gaming, general purpose and image editing
not to much gaming tho - just like unreal tournament and thats it

 

[djunknown]

i dont currently know much bout overclocking - but may learn more in the future
i guess the mobo is the wrong choice - just if i ever do get the money - i may need to change EVERYTHING to get a new mobo
i want my comp to be fast, reliable and manage the things a wanna do
gaming will be hardly happening - actually forget the unreal tournament comment
maybe games like champ man tho

 

[djunknown]

is tht motherboard any good
plus i can use the ddr ram of my current pc which is 1gb worth
what about the other asus motherboard that was mentioned for £83

i want an amd system
i like the graphics card that has been posted above
dunno bout the mobo tho

 

[djunknown]

i know this isnt in processors - but when your paying 220 for a processor, should people really say that you can get better for so and so price
maybe my mistake but i feel that is quite a lot of money
anyways...im not a mobo person, i just build computers, fix them for others, to how they want them, im new to the latest componenets lol

 

[djunknown]

its ddr 400 - i only changed it a couple of weeks ago

 

[djunknown]

div0 i will leave u an option

if you had the funds u think i have

which mobo and cpu would you go for...

btw - i may not have mentioned but i want a comp that can keep me future proof for a good few years ie. still be able to use the latest technology and shiz

 

[djunknown]

my budget for the whole system is around 500

sorry i thought i mentioned it here but i mentioned it in my motherboards thread

i have monitor, and 1gb ram so no need for them and of course keyboard and mouse i have

 

[djunknown]

I havent even used up 3/4 of my 40gb hard drive
But is a family computer so dont store too much on it of my own
80gb is perfectly adequate for me(dont need to go bigger,yet)
I thought maybe a better motherboard may come into it
As long as i can upgrade my graphics card easily in the future, then i am fine with a basic one for now thanks...
and as for the case - i will stick with the lanboy thanks
however, this does mean i will need my own psu

 

[djunknown]

would the mobo listed by semi-pro waster get the most out of my processor
and help me future proof slightly as somebody mentioned
also is there much difference in speed between the venice and the x2?
