Hi,
I got into custom pcs around 2 years ago. I built my first pc in May 2006 for around $650 CAD. The specs were:
AMD 64 3200+ Venice Socket 939 Processor
Kingston 512MB PC 3200 Valuram
ASUS A8N 5X Motherboard
PowercolorX550 (although my windows registers it as X600) 256MB PCI-E Graphics Card
Seagate Barracuda 80GB 7200RPM S-ATA II hard drive
LG CD+-RW DVD-ROM Combo Drive
No name case and 450 Watt PSU
BenQ FP531 15″ LCD Monitor with 8ms response time
It wasn’t bad for a starter?
Now, after almost 2 years, these are the specs:
AMD 64 3200+ Venice Socket 939 Processor
Buffalo 512MB PC 3200 Select RAM (Kingston one got killed)
ASUS A8V-E SE (A8N 5X got killed too)
PowercolorX550 (although my windows registers it as X600) 256MB PCI-E Graphics Card
Seagate Barracuda 80GB 7200RPM S-ATA II hard drive
LG CD+-RW DVD-ROM Combo Drive (DVD-ROM function no longer works…)
No name case
Ultra 4-port Firewire card
Ultra X-Finity SlI-Ready 600 Watt PSU (I bought this too fast without considering an Antec Earthwatts or something with a higher efficiency rating…)
1X 120mm Case fan at back
2X 80mm Case fans (1 at front, 1 at side)
DCLCD (I dunno my dad bought it…) 20.1″ LCD Monitor with Ithink 4ms response time
old Altec Lansing 2.1 speakers
old grey keyboard
Microsoft Basic mouse
$4.99 microphone
Lacie 320GB USB External hard drive
I’m thinking of getting a Razer Krait mouse and a Pioneer DVR-112BK or 212BK (i still don’t know the difference between SATA and EIDE…though I think I should get SATA).
When DDR3 memory gets cheap, I’ll do a major makeover of my system. (motherboard, ram, processor)
That’s my first post:).
