Everything's overpriced.

[hismajesty]

I love how the motherboard is over $100 cheaper at Newegg.

Edit: You might need a processor too.

[Topaz]

lol, hismajesty didn't read the entire thing. The motherboard comes with a processor, which is why its that expensive.

[hismajesty]

Oh! Darn.

[NocBrute]

Where can i get it cheaper?
I was going to buy the Mach Viper mobo/2.0ghz amdathlon64 processor for 150. But they changed processor speed & priced it higher.

But the question is will those parts work together. And where can i get it cheaper tell me please, i dont have alot of time to look for parts because i dont have a comp to order them from. I have to go to a LanPlace and then order it.

[Topaz]

That motherboard is terrible, especially with such a good processor. Anyway:

You might find a better looking/usable case @ www.3btech.net
Use the zalman cooling system instead, its worth the extra money.

You'll need this for setup on the zalman:

The video card's a piece of shit too, but...

[NocBrute]

bad timing. i already ordered the mobo/proccessor , case , cooling system. Dam man.
Thanks for the help topaz ill use the rest of the info you gave me. :-)


edit: can you find better video/memory etc thats compatible with the things that i bought?.

[Topaz]

Assuming you're hitting for the most affordable RAM, :

512 (x2) sticks, 81$
http://www.buyaib.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=713
512 stick, 41$
http://www.ms4me.com/oem51pc40ddr.html

If it's a gaming machine, go with the 512x2, your computer will appreciate the extra kick.

[NocBrute]

cant i just get 2x1gb sticks?, and i plan to save up later and buy 1x 1gb stick more. i have a 184-pin 512srddr stick @ home stored.
can i do this
1gb - slot
1gb - slot
512 - slot

since it can store up to 3gb. ill do 2.5, then save up n buy another stick.?

replace .5 with a 1gb stick

;)i can afford it..

[Topaz]

Well, you seemed to spend rather sparsely on everything else. Memory sticks won't do much for games and photo-editing, just stability. If I were you, I'd send back the video card, buy a better one, and purchase to 512(x2) sticks I recommended.

[cefx-]

What are you talking about?

RAM will do plenty for games and photo editing.
Get 2 more sticks of 512.

You need to factor in CAS latencies as well.  If you want lots of slow ass RAM then by all means, but chances are what you're looking for is some CAS 2 latency ram, 512 x 2.

Anything more than that and you're almost wasting it.  Of course, with windows, it whores up most of your ram anyways so maybe more is better.

Opt for some Crucial CAS 2 ram.  Or OCZ.  Remember.  LOW LATENCY.  Or you'll just have a lot of really slow RAM.....which would be good for a server....but most likely you're running Windows XP or Vista and you don't want that kind of RAM.

[Topaz]

You don't benefit much with 2.5gigs of RAM. Again, I suggest the 512's

[NocBrute]

who said i bought the video card and the memory?

if you look @ my reply. i said that i bought the

Case : 40$
Mobo w/ Proc : 150
Fan/Cooler : 10$
+ S&H
---------------------------

228


I still have 400 left for

Video Card
Memory
Monitor

Im gonna get some more money, if needed to  buy
Razor Diamondback mouse/Mousepad around 65$.

thanks for the posts

so ill buy the video card topaz recommended
the memory, maybe some overclocking 512x3 sticks ( i have max3gb/3slots. )

w/ CaS latency. Or w/e cefx- was talking about, thanks cefx-.


Anyone know where i can get a LCD 17", CRT 21" cheap.
Im looking for 17"lcd or a 21"crt.

That really depends on what you're using the computer for.  I would like far more ram than 2.5 gigs for some of the applications I program.
