Got a new comp :)

well, not have it yet, just paid it today, will have it up and running on monday

specs:

AMD Athlon64 3000+
MSI K8T800 mobo
1024MB RAM (PC3200)
160GB WesternDigital ATA-100 8mb
NVidia GeForceFX5700 256MB
DVD+/-RW 8x
DVD-Rom 16x
on-board 6-channel sound / 10/100MBps LAN / USB etc.

all for just €999,- ... pre-assembled, so that sucks, but who cares, it was a bargain for a computer with those specs

only thing I now need is a decent monitor, but I'll wait for the salesperiod to start and then buy a nice 17" TFT and replace the FX5700 with a 6800 Ultra

 

Nice. Similiar to what I am wanting to build.

What are you upgrading from?

 

upgrading from this:

AMD AthlonXP 2000+ @ 1,914Ghz
MSI KT3 Ultra2
512MB RAM (Corsair PC3200)
Asus GF4 Ti4400 128MB
TerraTec Aureon 7.1 Space soundcard
3Com 10/100MBps ethernet
17" IIyama HM704UTC
2x 40GB MaXtor DiamondMax+ 7200RPM/ATA-133

so all in all a nice upgrade

oh and since I seem to be unable to edit my own post, to edit a typo:

it's supposed to be:

2x 160GB WesternDigital 7200RPM/ATA-100 HD's
gonna run 'em in RAID-0, speed & huge storage area
