well it's time for a new rig (been 3 years), and i'm not sure if i want to wait for conroe or not, especially since i have no idea how long i'll have to wait. the machine will be used for school work, internet surfing, movies, and gaming (wow/hl2 right now).
here is what i have configured at the moment, with AMD's price cut from yesterday:
mobo: asus a8n5x nforce4
cpu: athlon 64 x2 4200+
video: evga 7900gt ko 256mb pci-e
memory: corsair xms 2gb (1gb x 2) ddr 400
hdd: seagate barracuda 7200.9 160gb 7200rpm sata
optical: lite-on 52x cd-rw & nec 16x dvd-r
cooling: scythe ninja 120mm hsf
i would be using my current case (older antec w/ 400w psu) for now, and then buying another cheap case for my current rig to go in. total for the above is about $900 before s/h. what do you guys think?
