So back in February I made a thread about a PCI card to go into my Emachines computer. So I bought the 5700LE, and it ended up being crap. Most of it was my computers fault, not the actual card. So anyways... I broke down and bought a whole new computer system for $1,000.
Here is what I got:
AMD Athlon 64 3000+ S939
nVidia GeForce 6600GT PCI-E
Soltek K890PRO motherboard
Samsung 17" LCD
PQI 512MB PC3200 RAM
Hitachi 160GB SATA HDD
BenQ DVD Burner
Samsung floppy drive
Windows XP Home Edition
Aspire X-Navigator Case w/ 450W PSU
The computer is not built yet because im awaiting my Windows XP copy to arrive from Amazon.com, but im so damn excited to get this going. Everything is sitting nicely in my dining room now, as I type on this crap eMachines.
The new computer is going to be used mostly for gaming, and the things I plan on purchasing in the immediate future for upgrades:
512MB stick of PC3200 RAM
CD-RW Drive (So i dont have to use my DVD burner as a main drive)
After that, the only thing i'll be needing to upgrade is my video card in like 6-12 months when I get money.
Cant wait!
