My old comp died a while ago (no post, no beep, all leds and fans but the nb fan worked, tried switching mobo and unplugg all parts one by one but didnt help, is it the cpu perhaps?) so now im on to an upgrade
Im thinking about theses parts:
DFI Lanparty UT nF4 Ultra-D nForce4 Ultra - 177$
AMD Athlon64 Venice 90nm 3200+ 2.0GHz 512kb Boxed - 206$
A-DATA "Performance" 2x1024Mb (tot. 2048Mb/2Gb) Dual DDR PC3200 400MHz 184pin CL3 - 228$
Connect3D Radeon X800GTO 256Mb DDR3 TV-out DVI VIVO RETAIL PCI Express - 222$
And a floppy because my old one broke - 12 $
This will add up for about 845$
And with this i hope my chassi/psu will make it, its a:
Antec SLK3700AMB 350Watt(SL350)
Smart Power
ATX 12V
A few more questions...
Is this a good setup?
How can i test my psu so i know thats not what crashed my last comp, and if u think its fine will it do for the upgrade?
Should i switch the mobo for the cheaper Asus A8N-E nForce4 Ultra (120$)?
And is there a better choice of gfx card withing the close price range of this?
Im going to use it for some gaming and movies and so, and it would be nice if it performed descent for some design works like 3dsmax and such.
Alot of questions perhaps but i hope to get a few directions
Greatful for all help!
