I'm not much of an Intel guy. This will be my first Intel system since a 450MHz P3.
Here's what I plan on buying and spending. The system is being built for a friend who will use it for day to day internet stuff with the occasional online game, office work, etc.
I plan on attempting to OC the 805D to ~3.3GHz, mainly to boost the FSB up from 533 to 667.
Comments, suggestions? I'm particularly interested in the MB choice.
Target budget is under $575US. The lower the better.
