been looking to get a new rig to update my old Athlon 1200.
but after looking around and selecting the components (i.e. Asus A7N8X Deluxe and Athlon XP 3000+)
i end up spending more $$$ than just getting a pre-built HP Pavilion with the following specs:
Should I just opt for a pre-built (which I never bought before)?
I'm not big on OC, but I do need a secondary HD (which I already have at home) in there.
Ohh, the price for the pre-built is around $850 while just the RAM, CPU, Mobo, and HD alone will cost me that same amount if i purchase the components.
any other system config suggestions?
