Building a system for a buddy of mine and I havn't looked up comp stuff for about a year. Don't have the time to research too so I looked at the system buyers guide in the forum. I was hoping some of you could critique the system if summed up thus far.
Athlon 64 3200+
MSI K8N Neo 2 Platnium
Samsung 512MB PC3200
Maxtor 160GB SATA
ATI Radeon X800 Pro 256MB OEM
CL Audigy 2 OEM
Pioneer DVR-108 16x16 DVD+-RW OEM Blk
Money is problem but spending it wisely is. He wants a fast system but doesn't want a top of the line one. He wants it to play doom 3 too. Can anyone recommend maybe a cheaper motherboard that is comparable and easy to work with like the MSI. (I have msi in my machine so i'm partial to them, don't really like asus for some reason, lol). Also what quiet PSU would you recommend for this system?
Thanks!!
