Epox 8KRA2+ motherboard

Hitachi 120GB 8MB cache HDD

Plain old Crucial DDR PC3200 RAM

That Epox motherboard is LOADED. It's a little cramped though.






Actually, I like the Abit NF7 too - I just wanted to be a pain in the ****. :p

CPU:

AMD 2500 or 2800

Heatsink:

TT SilentCooler

Motherboard:

Albatron KX18D-Pro II, after that, either the ASUS or the ABIT for well equipped boards with great onboard sound.

HDD:

Western Digital 120GB 8 meg cache, LB or JB series

RAM:

Crucial 3200 will work great and save you some cash as well.

Add a Sparkle or Fortron 400 watt PSU with a quality case (with all fan slots used) and your in business after you pick a monitor.

There are better components out there mainly for overclocking extremes, but since it's your first time building, no use getting in over your head.

Pick a grammar text book too. :rolleyes: The most powerful PC in the world can't type for you. Stop being "creative" with cuss words. I'm a moderator and this is a warning. Keep it clean and understandable.

If money is no object, get this:

ThermalTake coolers are noisy - I know this. I recommend a Vantec Aeroflow or the big Zalman.

http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=35-118-109&catalog=62&manufactory=BROWSE&depa=0

The Aeroflow is lighter, easier to mount, cheaper and nearly as quiet. It works really well too. I use one.

How about CD drives, Floppy drive, programs, monitor, extra lights and fans, keyboard, mouse and a decent sound card?

Yeah - I'm "blk" 2. :p Get real.

Athlon 2500+.

I just can't wait until you start putting this together and asking all sorts of newbie questions. I think I'll go on vacation next week...

If money is no object, just pick up a pre-built gamer PC.
