Hi I'm new and was hoping someone could help me with a new computer build.
i'm thinking of buying everything from tiger direct.com - is this a good idea?
i multitask a little- play games- mostly first person shooters like call of duty, but also i make my own movies and burn them to disk or stream to x box - while downloading large torrents. my list of parts is as follows-
Maxtor Basics STM305004N1AAAS-RK 500GB Hard Drive - 7200, 16MB, Serial ATA-300, Retail
$69.99
ULT-LSP650 :: Ultra LSP650 650-Watt Power Supply - ATX, SATA-Ready, SLI-Ready, 135mm Fan
$49.98
O261-8038 :: OCZ SLI-Ready Dual Channel 4096MB PC6400 DDR2 800MHz Memory (2x2048MB)
$54.99
A455-2346 :: Asus M2A-VM AMD Motherboard - AMD 690G, Socket AM2, Audio, Video, DVI, PCI Express, Gigabit LAN, USB 2.0, Serial ATA, RAID (2.25 lbs)
$69.99
CP1-AM2-6000 C :: AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ Processor ADV6000DOBOX - 3.1GHz, 1MB Cache, 1000MHz (2000 MT/s), Dual-Core, Retail, Socket AM2, Processor with Fan (0.55 lbs) $
80.99
case- i might reuse 1 of my old cases
speakers- old system
mouse old system
monitor old VGA / unless i can find good / cheap one lcd and ideas?
and then a few questions - is 4 gigs enough - or do i need more? and how about the speed of the ram -
also I'm thinking about raid 0 -data loss is not an issue- back up and don't care if i have to reinstall
any other good ideas- on a flexible budget
