Hi Guys,
I've set-up this thread to post you the details of my first computer build. At the moment it's just at the stage of sourcing the component etc.
I was wondering if anyone would be kind enough to help me find the right parts for my first build. The computer will be used for doing coursework, using the internet heavily and moderate gaming (Battlefield 2142, Rome Total War, Counterstrike, Wolfenstein and COD).
So far I have purchased the following components:
I have around £350 or $610 to spend on the rest of the components for my computer. Also I have listed the other components below I plan to buy, but if you think you know of the best components that are in reach of my budget please suggest so, Thanks .
Case: -------------
PSU: -------------
Floppy drive: Generic 1.44MB, Internal, Floppy Disk Drive, Black - £5-$10
Optical drive: Asus DRW-1814BLT Black DVD-RW SATA 18X14 lightscribe - £20-$40
Storage hard drive (for music, movies etc.): Western Digital 250 GB - £40-$80
Motherboard: Asus M2N-SLI Deluxe AM2 Skt940 nForce 570SLI Dual PCI-E x16 Dual Giga LAN +8ch.audio Firewire ATX Motherboard - £65-$130
CPU: AM2 Athlon 64 3800 Dual core - £40 - $80
