Hey all, just wanted some input on a new computer I want to build. First of all, I'm wondering when in the next 0-3 months should I build it, will prices decrease substantially b/c of anything in this period? Second thing I want to know, if I should cut down in any of the areas to save money. All suggestions welcome, currently I'm a little over my budge of about $1500. So far the specs I'm looking at are:
AMD Athlon64 3200+ (Venice core) ~200
2x Hitachi Deskstar T7K250 160GB SATA-II RAID0 ~180
DFI LanParty UT nF4 SLI-DR ~180
Corsair 1GB TWINX 3200C2PT ~120
XFX 6600GT 128MB PCI-e Dual DVI (single board for now) ~160
2x Viewsonic VX715 17" 16ms 450:1 300cd/m2 ~520
M-Audio Revolution 7.1 ~100
Antec Sonata w/ TruePower 380W ~80
APC Back-UPS ES 750VA ~70
SilenX 120mm Fan 58CFM 14dB ~20
Sony 16x DVD-ROM ~20
Floppy Drive ~10
Just included the minor parts cuz it still adds up in the end. I appreciate any input. I'll probably do a little (safe level) overclocking but not much, just to try things out (never OCed before). Main uses are for school (engineering programs, some autocad, excel mostly), music, movies, games (warcraft 3). |
