Ok guys, I plan on building my first computer and here is the hardware:
Soyo Dragon+ MB - $300 w/ the 1700 athlon
Athlon xp 1700 or 1600
Barracuda IV 40GB - $92
Lite-on 24x10x40 - $82
GAINWARD/CARDEXPERT GEFORCE2 Ti450, GOLDEN SAMPLE, TV 64MB W/ TV-OUT DDR 4.5ns -$109
On-board sound
On-board LAN
2x 256 mb Crucial 2100 ddr ram - $145
ENLIGHT EN-7237AZ MEDIUM TOWER P4 CASE - OEM with 340Watts Power Supply, AMD and Intel P4 Approved - from newegg -$60+$19 shipping
maybe get the ENHANCE ENP-0735 P4 350 WATT P/S ($35)and just a different case... not sure yet.
generic floppy -free
generic 12x cd drive - free
possibly zip 250 drive - about $60
I'm just curious as to how any of you experts think this system will work. I'm not sure if I'm going to try to overclock it yet(since it's my first system). I may try in the future though. I heard the Dragon+ isn't that bad at overclocking because you can change the stuff in the BIOS. Anyways, I would appreciate suggestions, or changes anyone would make to this system. Like I said, it's my first, and I would like it to go smoothly! I plan on ordering pieces for it soon! Most of the stuff will come from newegg.com, so if you know any better prices, then I'd also appreciate that too!
Any help is appreciated! Thanks in advance!
