i'll take one,

Edit: removed email address

you will be fine, i own a 5 year old computer and just last year i replaced the original 200watt ps with a 500 watt.  As to setting it up ait couldnt be any easier.  Any standard psu would work.

lol ur a little behind, but yeah there amazing

A two fan case for $30 and a dual core for $70, what a deal    CPU comes with a heatsink and fan.  In my limited experience get some arctic sliver 5 thermal paste, it took my cpu from 68 degrees load to 58. (stock 3.0GHz and 1.30 volts)

Nice low voltage on the cpu.

Is that memory dual channel?

Onboard video?

Power supply? ----edit: O the case comes with power too!

Only bought one stick so it wont be dual channel.  And yes i am going to use the onboard video until i can afford a new gfx card.  The case does come with a ps but dont know how reliable its going to be, have a 500 watt ps just in case. Brisbane cores are known to overclock real well.

Its a nice case !

yeah i think i made a good decision, way better than my current compaq case.

what is your budget?

Don't forget your heatsink, and heatsink compound. What about a burner? Do you got one already to install? You need some type of disk drive. Also where is your HDD? Did you order one of those yet?

I already have a 16x dvd burner, 120gb hd, and i plan on using the stock hsf.

I'm late too, Happy B-Day.

Seems like a very very good Low Price build.

Whats sad is that everything there besides the ram is better than what I got on my PC. 

haha this upgrade was way over due

should get it all by Friday.

came out to about 250 w/shipping, taxes...etc

Would have went with intel but to stay on budget i would have had to go with a crappy mobo. 

It will only power up for about a sec or two and then shuts down. Maybe it is the power supply failing?

more than likely thats the problem becuase you should atleast be able to get to the bios.

okay narrowed down to two options

this setup:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157107

would use 6600gt

or this setup:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128034

would use onboard video

lol finally going to decide

considering this setup

why do you need a new case and cooling?

you don't currently have a ATX case?

and the intel's run alot cooler so you can use the stock heat sink.

i have an old compaq case that is only suitable for micro atx boards.

he doesnt have a 939. and i would not recommend going for old technologically. if your going to go amd go AM2, but the intel is far better in every way

if i do go intel I'm gonna need a cpu, mobo, video card, and ram.  Not to mention a new case and cooling.  All for under 200$

Here is what i have right know

Amd athlon xp 1800 underclocked to 1.1GHz

512 pc 3200 ram

6600gt(AGP)

500 watt ps

pos mobo not even worth mentioning

Basically i will need a new case, cpu, mobo, maybe ram/video card.

this would be the cheapesr route to take

could use current video card and ram.

If i do go intel i would want a mobo with good overclocking abilities because that seems to be where they shine.

The bottom line is that no matter what i do, it will be a huge change from what i have now.  Just dont know which route to take amd or intel

Gonna need a new video card aswell.  For around 80bux

thinking something like this

as you can see trying to keep the budget low.

Since I got a job recently i am considering upgrading to a better and mobo.  Currently have a athlon xp 1800 and pos mobo.  So anything is a improvement.  My budget is 200 and i need a decent cpu and mobo.(939 socket so i can use parts from old computer).

On a second thought do you think it would be better to upgrade to a core 2 duo cpu and buy more parts later on when i get the money?

It's supposed to be under, performance and quality settings right?

edit:

haha, nvm i figured it out

thx

Whats up guys, i know I havent been on lately but I have been trying to take a break from the computer but now i need some help.  Okay i have a 6600 gt and I just installed the newest drives,  and i installed cool bits but the overclocking option is not available.  Anyone know why?  BTW before my format i was able to oc the card. 

did you guys had ipod before u bought zune

is it better then ipod in ur view ?

I never actually owned a ipod but my brother has one and it is definately better feature wise and sound.  Ipod just has the looks.

lol without paying 29.99
