Ello people,
just need a quick thumbs up from the pros out there...
I recently upgraded my graphics card, cpu and monitor, and plan to use the hardware i removed in a new build for my girlfriend.

I'll be using my old X800XL and A64 3200+ winchester (with a freezer 64), came up with this...

Western Digital Caviar Special Edition 160GB 1600JS SATA-II 8MB Cache

Asus A8R-MVP Crossfire (Socket 939) PCI-Express Motherboard

LG GSA-H22NBA 16x16 DVD±RW Dual Layer ReWriter

Antec Super LANBOY Aluminum Super Mini Tower Case

Altec Lansing VS2320 2.0 Versatile Speaker System

Logitech LX3 Optical Mouse

Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition inc. SP2

Tagan TG380-U01 380W ATX2.0 Silent PSU

GeIL 1GB (2x512MB) PC3200 Value Dual Channel Kit CAS2.5

Subtotal £345.38
Shipping (City Link Parcel Next Day (Delivered Mon-Fri)) £12.95
VAT £62.71
Total £421.04

Anything i've missed/could change for the better? Thats pretty much my maximum budget.

Any help/advice would be much appreciated.
Cheers

You are pumping a fair amount of cash into a dated technollogy there m8.

What do u and your girlfriend have atm component wise.

Ham · 24 Oct 2006 at 09:25

I currently have a DFI NF4 Ultra-D, X1800XT, A64x2 3800+, 2GB Geil Value, Tagan 480w psu.
I upgraded my gfx and cpu a couple months ago so i currently have an X800XL and a A64 3200+ collecting dust in my drawer.

I'm planning on doing a totally new build for myself within the next year, so my current cpu/gfx can go into the proposed machine (not sure if that makes sense :confused:

) Which is why i'd like to stick to socket 939.

So what parts u donation to gfriend?

Ham · 24 Oct 2006 at 09:48

At the moment, the X800XL and the A64 3200+ Winchester.
Within a year or so she'll also be having my X1800XT and A64x2.

Sorry for such a confusing thread.
