I just built my own system for around 1076 dollars rock: :

Finished it 2 weeks ago

AMD 64 3200+ cpu w/ 1b L2 cache/thermaltake venus 12 cpu cooler/artic silver 5

1 GB ddr 400 corsair pc 3200c2pt twinx xms x2 512
80GB western digital special edition hd
Thermaltake Hardcano 12 hd cooler/temperature monitor rock:
52x lite-on cd-rw drive
Nvdia Asylum gf4 ti4600 vid card (only thing i need to upgrade)
Sound Blaster® Audigy 2 ZS Gamer limited edition sound card rock:
XP professional corporate edition

Dell 19" crt

and i got my old dell running in the other room networked by a linksys 5 port hub, so the rest of my family can enjoy the web while not messing with mine! (plus i have the case locked whenever i leave heh)

i will have pics up by this week beer:

Anyone have any ideas as to which parts I can get for around $400. What I want to get is RAM, a CPU and mainboard, thats it. Im looking at an AMD XP3000, a stick of 512mb of corsair Ram but am willing to be flexible on this stuff. Any suggestions. Price watch is ok, but I want to look at more places.

http://www.newegg.com

http://www.zipzoomfly.com

http://www.frozencpu.com

http://www.xoxide.com


you can get an xp 2500+ barton for 81 dollars on newegg. overclock it to at least an xp 3000+. if you read the reviews that xp 2500 chip is unlocked and ppl say they can run it at xp 3200+ speeds with no problem. just be sure to get some artic silver thermal compound, and a bigtime cpu fan like so: http://www.xoxide.com/comajet7coak.html or something similiar. a must for overclockin. no need to spend more money on a xp 3000 or 3200 when you can overclock the 2500 for way cheaper.

for the ram, zipzoom sometimes has better prices than newegg. i got my corsair twinx pair of 512 xms 3200c2pt strips for 207 bucks...new egg wanted 225 for them.

so, if you want a gig of ram...you can get a nice gig for around 200...the cpu for 80..and a nice asus a7n8x deluxe here http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDe ... WSE&depa=1

for 85 bucks...so thats 165 for the cpu and mobo, choose your ram...you got about 150 to spend on it depending on your budget ....

hope that helps beer:

Sweet, thanks alot for the help. In return, I will dedicate a nooner for ya. beer:
