QUOTE (rabble @ Feb 25 2006, 10:25 AM) But will it work, I dont want to get all this stuff and have it lying around because its incompatable. You already got an answer from James on this, but for future reference, here are the things you want to look for in determining whether a build is good: 1) Will the mobo fit in the case you've chosen? 2) Does your case have enough bays for the drives you want? 3) Does the mobo support your chosen processor and RAM? 4) Does the mobo have enough PCI slots for the cards you want? (And ISA slots, if applicable). 5) If you're getting an AGP video card, does the mobo have an AGP slot? Am I forgetting anything, guys? I think this is about it for a basic computer. -------------------- |

If he's getting PCI-E vid card, does it have a PCI-E slot of the right speed. I forgot to check that.
I also didn't check RAM since he didn't have any posted. -------------------- Spam? Isn't that something poor people eat?

Looks good still. I just double checked ram and vid card. I just hope that generic ram is ok. I'd go to www.crucial.com and get it from there, but that's just me.

Newegg is also kind of expensive.
I just quoted myself a new gaming machine from scratch from them and it was $2500 .... I guess actually that doesn't seem too terribly expensive for using pretty good components though .... I dunno, ordering it all from one place is a LOT easier than screwing around trying to order each peice from a low-bidder you found on pricewatch .... -------------------- I r Ur Gawd!

Newegg is cheap. You're only going to save a couple bucks on pricewatch and then not going to have the great customer service that you get with Newegg. Their RMAs are very fast and easy.

Is it a good system, I mean, for the future. I've had my current computer for about 5 years (which I think is a long time) and I want to get something that I can keep upgrading for a while.

I got so fucking sick of dealing with all the fly-by-night places from pricewatch I could puke, heh .... -------------------- I r Ur Gawd!

I've had my current computer for about 5 years (which I think is a long time) and I want to get something that I can keep upgrading for a while. If you can find 2 GB for a decent price and better name, I'd go for it. Make sure your video card has a DVI output on it. Maybe get SATA hard drive instead of IDE. Other than that, seems fine for a while. Just keep it cleaned to prolong the life of the fans. I'm most guilty of not doing this

When I went on a cleaning spree a couple weekends ago, I put the vacuum to all my computers. Worked good enough. Better than just blowing it around, too.
