So I've taken the plunge... I'm building a new system and I've started to order all the parts I'll need. Specs are:
Pentium 4 630 LGA775 (3.0GHz)
Asus P5WD2 i955X Mainboard
PQI 2x1GB DDR2-533 RAM Dual channel kit
BFG GeForce 7800GTX
Antec Performance TX1050B Case (w/ 500w SmartPower II PSU)
Seagate 7800.8 250GB SATA HDD
NEC ND3540A DVD burner combo drive
Still have to pick a plain DVD-ROM drive
Also keeping a WD ATA-133 80GB HDD drive from my old system.
The whole thing is going to cost me under $1500. I pulled that off because the RAM I got was priced at $42 only, which I think was a glitch, but they shipped it to me anyway at that price. I haven't actually recieved it yet, so I may get burned on it, but I'm not anticipating any problems. The item has since disappeared from the site's database (the same item is in there now under a different ID at a more normal price). I figured they'd cancel the order due to the price mistake but I was pleasantly surprised.
I'm hoping to have all the parts and the system built and configured by the end of next week... I can hardly wait!
