Hi guys, im a newb around here
ive spent a little while getting up to speed on hardware, originally i was going to get a 6800 gt for my system (to replace my shoddy 5200 >< )
but then the 7800gtx was released, and for that id need a new mobo(pci-e) and a new processor- hey why not build a new system? this is going to be my first put together box, my parents never gave room for creativity before but now ive got my hands on a nice sum of cash :D. Well anyway ive never had this much money in my life and i doubt i will again so i dont want to make any mistakes :P
ive put together this list, all from various online uk shops:
gpu gigabyte gforce 7800 GTX 256mb
cpu AMD Athlon 64 3200+ Venice Core
case ThermalTake Tsunami Black Aluminum
psu AeroCool Turbine Power 550
HD 200Gb Maxtor Diamondmax Plus 10
dvd LG 16x DVD-ROM Black IDE OEM
motherboard Abit AN8 Fatal1ty NF4 Ultra
RAM 1Gb Corsair PC3200, 2-3-3-6
im not making a mistake here am i? nothing in the setup is holding anything else back is it? i doubt the dvd player, harddrive or case will effect much though.
also im stuck for a monitor, does anyone know of a good DVI 17" that is a joy for games, or a DVI 19" which i can also play games well on, but not spend much more than £250 (doubt its possible though :) )
thx guys much appreciated
