I would have to say you could easily build one for that price, and probably have more features. But if you're not comfortable with building a system, you may want to make sure something like that will perform with your needs. I am assuming that since you are using an FX5200 you don't play much for newer games, or if you do, they are at lower/lowest settings.

What are your plans with this PC?

I recommend you do more research on the components in that PC and see if they're what you want and are willing to pay for, especially when you can save some cash and do it yourself. :toast:

thanks for the reply,

first off, im not comfortable building a computer myself.(im only 15)

and the FX5200 was only put in like 3 days ago because my mobo has onboard graphics.

P4 3.2GHz DUAL CORE PROCESSOR :laugh:

CPU
INTEL PENTIUM D DUAL CORE 3.2GHz PROCESSOR 935

this guy doesnt know what hes doing cuz why whould you put P4 if there not a dual core and its "really" a PD

I say build one would get more bang 4 the buck

15yrs you should be able to, its not rocket science just need to follow the steps

Crap. I could get a E2140, X1650XT, and some decent RAM for that price.

Heard of the kings of cheap MSY? http://www.msy.com.au/

[K]oala · Jul 1, 2007

i checked out the website and their prices look pretty good. The only problem about buying the parts and building it is that i dont know if they would all be compatible or not. If someone could give me a list of parts to use to build the system that are all compatible and under $750 from:

http://www.msy.com.au/Parts/PARTS.pdf

(all the parts have to be available at the Auburn store)

thanks.

[K]oala · Jul 2, 2007

[K]oala · Jul 2, 2007

i like this mobo:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128047

looks ok??

mrw1986 · Jul 2, 2007

It's not bad, I'm personally buying the MSI P6N Platinum for my new build.

mrw1986 · Jul 2, 2007

And by the way, that guy on eBay is a moron.

I HAVE BEEN BUILDING COMPUTERS FOR OVER 8 YEARS...

Yet he can't differentiate a Pentium 4 from a Pentium D. Sigh.

[K]oala · Jul 2, 2007

yeah i dont think i'll go with that computer anymore, ill just buy the parts and build it myself. i do need a starting point though...i gotta check out some mobo's on newegg.

erocker · Jul 2, 2007

Be sure to get a good psu! If you want to save more money go for a x1950pro.

[K]oala · Jul 2, 2007

awsome. thanks for that. ill have a look around a few places to see where i can get those things cheapest.

so all i would need after that is a Hard drive and PSU?
