Cheap but reliable...Look good?

[Lugztaz]

This system will be used for, internet surfing, email, and alot of photo stuff. I don't want to put together a shitty celeron system that will be slow. I just want to know what you guys think of this setup...no gaming so nothing super dooper needed but i don't want to skimp out , lets make this last more then a month

That power supply isn't high quality, and Gigabyte mobos are pretty love hate, but other than that and the fact I'm not too sure how good VIA is with Intel, looks good.

I have that DVD burner, havent had any problems with it at all.

The memory is junk, valuselect always seems to have compatibility issues with via boards.
Get this instead, it works in every board I have tried it in, even ones where 'good' crucial memory wouldnt even boot:

[Lugztaz]

what board and memory would you match up? not spending alot tho?

 

[Bona Fide]

Not to be a spoilsport...but have you considered AMD? They're cheaper, for one. And probably more reliable.

 

[Lugztaz]

cuz i like HT...

 

[heero884]

a suggestion for a alternative case and psu..

..better psu (i trust raidmax before apex), better airflow, and looks better

 

[Rtstrider]

I'll agree with bona fide in saying choose the amd route for money purposes...I just rebuilt my second amd system last week, and I'll tell you, I love it..And with amd I'd recommend using a biostar board...Tons of people use those, now it's not a gaming board, but great for internet...

 

[Lugztaz]

ok then what amd mobo and proc to match this p4

 

[Lugztaz]

amd proc and mobo match NE one? to match up with a 3GHz P4
