Ok, guy's i need some help. A friend of mine is having his dad put together a system for him for $550 or less.
Basically a Gaming oriented system. Nothing to fancy, casue its only $550.
What he dosent need: Speakers, Mouse, Keyboard, Moniter, CD-Rom, Cables, Snd Card
What we want: DDR2700, Onboard Lan (not 100% required), Shim (MUST HAVE)
What I'm thinking SO far:
Processor - Athlon XP 1700+ - $50 (newegg)
Mobo - $100ish
Video Card - Chaintech Geforce4 4200 "GT20" Retail (128 mb) - $120 (newegg)
Ram - Viking 512MB 64X64 PC2700 DDR, Unbuffered, CL2.5, Model VGDDR64X64PC2700 - $58 +6 (ship) (Newegg)
HD - Maxtor 40GB 7200RPM Hard Drive Model # 6E040L0 - $59 (Newegg)
Case + PSU - $50ish
Heatsink - $25ish
Thats: $468
Help me fill in the holes! I like parts from Newegg cause i trust them.
Thats really about it. I'm not used to "getting everything at once" I usually just upgrade one or 2 parts at a time.
SO help me fill in or tell me what i should have in place of somthing.
