Hello guys, I'm building a computer for my girlyfriend... The computer is just going to be for normal use so I don't need an 8800 or even a Conroe... I set up a build via Newegg; hoping/wondering if someone might have other suggestions for more bank-for-the-buck items...
I already have a spare PSU (Antec Trio 650W), Motherboard with 1GB RAM, and an evga 6800 so they won't be on the list of items. Planning on getting a 19' lcd off of eBay maybe.
Opty Drive
Hard Drive
Case
Keyboard/Speakers/Mouse
CPU
Operating System (XP Home)
Two Purple Cathodes (I don't like them, but you know they're "pretty"...)
Total comes out to be $410 including shipping and tax. I know, I know, not A LOT of money, but i'm 17 and unemployed so the more I save, the better...
Questions:
Is the Optical drive adequate?
Would a Pentium D be better?
Any suggestions/links on monitors would be appreciated.
Thanks guys!
