college computer etc etc. can't go over 1,100. and already have case

AMD 64-2800+

slk-900a fan


MSI k8t neo

9800pro

corsair XMS

80gig harddrive

19'' monitor

antec 430

MSI cd-rw/dvd-rom combo


i decided to focus less on the stuff that can change easily *harddrive, video card what with the x800's eventually gonna drop in price* so i could squeeze under the 1,100 pricetag. plz let me know of anything i should be very aware of.

First off, I would get the Athlon64 3000+. They seem to overclock well. Second, I would sell my old parts and 9800 Pro video card, to get a X800 PRo/ 6800GT. Other than that, nice setup.

well, i don't know how long it'll be till A. he'll upgrade the video card (he's got some girlfriend he spends all his money on >=| ) or B. the x800/6800 prices really drop.

but yeah, i like your's way better.

i think though, i'd cut out the DVDRW and go for the CDRW/DVD combo, and maybe not so fancy a monitor. and bump up the video card.
