I'm not going to be using this computer for games too much. i just want my own computer.


Is it true that you can only use S-ATA if you are going to do a RAID configuration?

Also keep in mind that i dont have a job so try not to recomend the most expensive parts.

Please make recomendations and give advice.

thanks

I'm not a big fan of Enermax power supplies.

Decent motherboard and hard drive though. I'd suggest you look at some Thermaltake cases and power supplies. Affordable but very nice.

which mother board is better?

 

[ThomasE66]

Depends on what you plan on doing with it. I prefer the Gigabyte board.

i'm going to use it for some games (hl2 and doom) and internet, IMing, typing documents, ect

 

[flakey lemon]

any one else

I still say go with the Gigabyte board. What video card are you looking to put into it?

Also, it's not true that you have to do RAID to use SATA. Not sure where you heard that one...
