I am seriously considering building my own computer, i know what parts i need but i am curious what are the best hardware (motherboard, video card, Processor etc.) for someone on a budget of under 1000$ ??
Thanks
Id say your looking at a Core 2 Duo system.
965 series motherboard.
2gigs DDR2 PC6400 RAM
Video card depends, can get really pricey. Depends on the types of games you play.
Probably a cheapie case <$100
480watt BRANDED psu, more watts/amps if your going for a higher end Video Card
A fast and large capacity hard drive, either a Raptor, Spinpoint or a Seagate 7200.9 or 7200.10
DVD Burner
OR Im sure an AMD fanboy could get you a cheaper CPU and MOBO combo from the AMD range.
Ive heard the X2 6000+ competes alright with the core 2 line at stock clocks.
Im not in any way an AMD follower, so I dont know shit about their stuff, but yeah, something to consider.
