I'm about to place an order for the following;
CPU AMD Athlon 64 3500+ 2.2GHz (Socket AM2) £88.07
Motherboard Asus M2NPV-VM DDR2 PCI-e £70.44
Memory GeIL 2GB (2x1GB) PC5300 667MHz Value DDR2 £109.95
Graphics Card Connect3D ATI Radeon X1800 XT 256MB £164.44
Hard Drive Samsung SpinPoint P SP2504C 250GB £52.29
DVD Drive NEC ND4570 16x16 DVD±RW Dual Layer ReWriter £21.95
Keyboard and Mouse Logitech UltraX™ Media Desktop £35.19
Speakers JBL Creature II 2.1 Speakers £55.17
Case and PSU Antec Sonata II Piano Black Quiet Case £66.92
Monitor Acer AL1916WS 19" Widescreen £186.82
Total £796.07
I'd really appreciate any feedback, am I getting the best bang for buck? Should I avoid Socket AM2 for the moment and stay with S939? Am I better with a standard 19" monitor rather than the Acer 19" wscreen? Should I wait for Conroe? If I do what advantage am I likely to see within my price range of £800?
Panicking now, please set my mind at ease!
