By the way are those os the upgrade ones?

 

I don't know if that PSU is good.. you could look at this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817103932

Also, I've heard that Lite-On sucks. Other people say it's fine. If you had doubts you could try NEC.

I've heard very good things about it. What don't you like about the processor?
What's your final cost? (I am also in the process of a final build )

 

Also can someone tell me which pieces its ok to buy oem. Also i plan to upgrade in 1-1.5 years for vista.

 

Final price is about 1050. im gonna try to cut down a bit so suggestions welcome.

 

gonna be a nice machine. I would only change the memory and get duel channel. Might as well take advantage of it. The os are oem, no support from microsoft. Like ya need it. LOL. It does not say upgrade version.

Dont buy x64 OS. Dont buy that HDD, get an SATA hdd with 16mb buffer over that 8mb.

 

the card i picked has special offer so that mobo is free. Thats why that card.

 

Can someone recomend and amd processor(socker 939)?

 

the 3200 you got listed is a good processor the evga card rocks too didnt have the mobo special when i got it though if you can spare the change get the 3700 sandiego core. the processor and video card combo eats through games

happy building

 

Can some one explain the names with the amd processors. ie. winchester claw hammer , venice, san diego .... Any better than others??

 

The main difference is that they can have different amounts of L2 cache and FSB speeds. And I agree with Omegamerc on the Windows x64. It is not all that stable and driver support isn't the best... Stick with regular Windows XP, or maybe Windows XP Media Center Edition.

 

venice and sandiego cores are the newest single processor cores the venice having 512k cache and the sandiego cores having 1m cache. both are good cores just the 3700 , 4000 , and fx chips are sandiego core in my OPINION sandiego cores perform better

 

One more question. Anyone want to recomend 1gb of ram for under 100$

those should do nicely

 

DO NOT BUY OEM NEVER EVER BUY OEM i bought oem and micrsoft screwed me both time if your gona get windows and plan on reinstalling it at least one before u buy another one spend the extra to get a retail

 

I buy everything OEM, seems you got taken for a sucker.

 

leme rephraze it never buy oem WINDOWS. i buy oem hrdware all the time and some oem software but he was talking about a oem windows so i didnt think i hade to specify that much :/

 

There is nothing wrong with purchasing an OEM Windows OS!!


Want to try XP Pro x64 for free

The PSU I wouldnt buy any Coolmaster, bad reviews, Junk

Here couple way better the first one is Modular:

Or
http://www2.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817103930

 

Let me rephrase, I always buy OEM.

 

never considered paying retail. all 4 copies i got running are oem. besides i come here if i have a problem and let all the nice folks here help if neccessary. works great on a clean install since you dont need another copy of an earlier windows to install xp

 

This is the power supply I decided was good after dive's comment: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1273337&sku=ULT31845
Any opinions on this one?

Also is a 3700 san diego processor (one ibbonkers listed) Going to run windows vista alot better than a 3200?

Planning on ordering pieces tonight

 

Also heres new hard drive I picked http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16822140168

 

hey the hard drive looks good maxtor makes a decent drive as far as power supplies go my personal opinion is that ultras arent to bad especially with a new lifetime warranty. you'll hear mixed reviews but ultra has gotten a lot better hope that helps
as far as the processor goes the 3700 with the extra cache feels more responsive than the 3200 but as always its my opinion but you wont be dissapointed with either chip (my amd outperforms my socket 775 3.4 gig prescot chip )
