Title: So I'm building a computer.
Post by: Cookie on June 13, 2008, 10:14:15 AM

So I'm building a computer for basic needs and possibly video editing. My budget is around $600 I can go over a bit if I have to. SO here is what I have so far.

Motherboard:
MSI P6N Diamond Motherboard - NVIDIA nForce 680I, Socket 775, ATX, Audio, SLI Ready, PCI Express, Gigabit LAN, S/PDIF, USB 2.0, Firewire, eSATA, RAID
http://www.compusa.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3127546&Sku=M452-2680

CPU:
ntel Core 2 Duo E8400 Processor BX80570E8400 - 3.0GHz, 6MB Cache, 1333MHz FSB, Wolfdale, Dual-Core, Retail, Socket 775, Processor with Fan
http://www.compusa.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3574211

Discdrive/burner:
LITE-ON DH-20A4H-08 E-IDE Burner with Lightscribe Technology (RETAIL) - 20x DVDÃ,Â±R, 8x DVDÃ,Â±RW
http://www.compusa.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3550101&Sku=L12-1150

Harddrive:
Western Digital WD2500AAJS Caviar SE 250GB Hard Drive - 7200, 8MB, SATA-300, OEM
http://www.compusa.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3540620&Sku=TSD-250AAJS

Power supply:
Thermaltake PurePower 430-Watt Power Supply - ATX, Dual 80mm Fan, 20/24-Pin, SATA Ready, PCI-E Ready
http://www.compusa.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1389575&Sku=T925-2060

Casing
Ultra X-Blaster Black ATX Mid-Tower Case with Front USB, FireWire and Audio Port

Then I'm just gonna get 2GBs of RAM for like $30.

So I don't really know to much about computers, but yeah. Am I missing any parts? I noticed on the Motherboard it didn't have any VGA ports, whats up with that? It is because I don't have a graphics card? Because it says the MotherBoard has one built into it. Also is a 430 Watt power supply enough to power this? So yeah, tell me what I'm missing and if the parts I picked are good. baddood;

Looks like you're missing input devices and a monitor.

Well, I already have two Dell Monitors and I'm sure I have a keyboard and mouse around here somewhere. I guess I should have said that.

Ram. And don't expect to play any games on this thing with a motherboard that has a built in graphics card.

Oh I have no intentions too, well possibly Star Craft but almost any computer can handle Star Craft.
