Questions about choices on rig?
Kind of a lurker here, but a lot of these threads and reviews on this site have been helpful to me. My rig now is o.k. but I am slowly building another one buying a piece each paycheck. I have bought a Visiontek Geforce 4 ti 4400, 2 512 sticks of corsair 2700 ddr ram, and waiting on 2 special edition WD 80 gig hard drives that are in the mail, the 8 m buffer ones. O.K. that is what I have bought so far, Now I am planning on buying these and wanted opinions on products since this is my first rig from scratch!
- Asus a7v333 with raid for the hd's
- AMD Athlon 2200+
- Ling-Hi or Skyhawk Aluminum case with a good size wattage ps
- Probably CDRW cause DVDRW format is still up in the air
- Have LG DVD rom already
- Have soundblaster live 5.1 value, thinking of going audigy gamer
- Monitor will be bought with money from selling current rig, but suggestions would be nice, CRT flat 19 or 21 inch.
- Still looking into speakers
Not planning on overclocking now, but may in the future. Anything I left out, other than basics (keyboard, mouse etc...) or suggestions would be helpful. Mainly a gamer here, and don't want an Intel, know the 4's are now beating AMD, but I am not rich and am an AMD fan.
