800$ PC Build

[GForce64]

Going to be doing this in a month or so if all goes well, figured I'd run my parts list by the [H]ardest of us.

I do some PS/InDesign work for my school's yearbook staff, and some light gaming. Other than that, net surfing machine. Don't plan on OC'ing, and noise isn't a major issue.

Coolermaster Centurion 5: 65.98$

450w Coolermaster PSU: 66.98$

Intel Pentium 4 630: 185.75$

Intel BOXD915GEVL: 106.50$

1GB Corsair DDR2: 90.83$

80GB Seagate SATA Drive: 66.99$

ASUS ATi x700: 105.50$

NEC 3540A DVD Burner: 43.99$

Samsung Floppy: 10.49$

Windows XP Home OEM: 92.94$

Total: 835.95$

Budget is set in stone, preferably all parts from Newegg. Would like to see any recommendations for just as solid, but less expensive parts, most likely to increase HD space.

Looks good, but replace psu to this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817189003 cuz this psu is best bang buck of the summer.

Then u r good to go.

Edit: If u r lookin for larger capcity hd then this one looks good http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16822148034 only 20 bux more than wat u have on ur list. For the video card, I might suggest u either 6600GT or X700 Pro to get better visual design.

The PSU that you have is fine. I have it and love it.

This 250 GB HDD is a great value at 40 cents a GB.

Any links to PS benchmarks for modern processors? I was always under the impression that intel did better in that department.

Plus, I'm a little turned off by the lack of stability on nForce4 mobos.

Toms has a reputation for being...journalistically challanged.
