Alright, after get a list of parts for the new computer I came here to get some input. Im looking at around $500-600 for all the parts. The parts im saving from this computer are the keyboard, mouse, and speakers.
Ill be using this computer mainly for school, games, and movies.
Case: Antec Sonata III 500 $99. Was going to get this case from buy.com but they dont have it at $80 anymore.
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 5400+ $87
CPU Heatsink and Fan: XIGMATEK HDT-S963 $24.99
Scythe SY1225SL12L $8.99
XIGMATEK ACK-I7751 $6.99
MOBO: BIOSTAR TForce TF8200 $89.99 Not to sure on the motherboard. Dont need anything fancy but onboard audio.
RAM: G.SKILL 2GB (2 x 1GB)
GPU: Radeon HD 4850 $182.99
DVD Burner: Lite-On Sata $23.99
Monitors: Im looking for a 22inch monitor so im hoping those parts I listed above will be able to run the monitor with no problems. Ive heard nothing but good reviews with the Acer AL2216Wbd which is 200$ but im able to purchase a Hannspree for $200 from a friend. Which one would be the best choice?
Total: $568.92
I dont have a preference for any particular brands. Im looking at the best money/performance parts. Also, since i wont be saving any wires and whatnot from this computer will i need to buy the Retail instead of OEM?
Heres my wishlist:
