Well I wanna get a new computer for gaming.Also I need a estimate on how much everything I want should cost, so I dont get ripped off.

Heres what I want:

AMD Athlon XP 3200 (2.2GHz) 512K 400MHz CPU Retail
80 GB Maxtor Hard Drive
ATI Radeon 9800 PRO - 128MB AGP
512MB of RAM
RAIDMAX Blue Mustang 10-Bay ATX Mid-Tower Case with Front USB 2.0 and 350W Power Supply, Model "ATX-289WUP" (found it for 33$)
A nice ATX motherboard
and Cables

NewEgg.com

Use them. I ordered from them and everything arrived a day early. And I think everything they sell is for a decent price. Most of it fluctuates a dollar or two daily.

Frogblast the Vent-Core!

Yea im getting a guy to build it though. So I need a estimate to tell him Im thinking the most I can spend is 400-600.

No estimations? Cause I dont know prices for these sorts of things.

GO to NewEgg, type in what you want, and see what price it tells you.

A couple of weeks ago I got an Athlon XP 3200+, Asus A7N8X-E Deluxe, case, a gigabyte of RAM, X800 Pro and two 80 GB SATA drives for around $1100 US, at a local computer store.

You shoulda gone 6800GT. :|

Order what you(or him) can from SVC.com. Many of their components are expensive, but fans and other stuff are dirt cheap. They have nice round IDE cables for $2.10, I have several and they're quite nice. Those are the dual device 18" cables, which is standard size. They have round floppy cables for $1.10, what a deal! They have them in 10", single device, so no more annoyingly long floppy cables. All this in many sizes and colors. They even have round SCSI cables for cheap.

Edit: And wait, 400-600? That's a little tight for what you picked out...Well maybe not but..

The store didn't have any 6800s, or any X800 XTs or anything like that. This computer was entirely an impulse buy and I'll probably build a 64-bit rig in a couple of months.


And yeah, what Emon said: I doubt you can build that system for $400-600

THAT system'll cost you upwards of anywhere around 1000 bucks. Maybe less, maybe more, depending. But a good system will cost you 600 bucks. That is, however, a nice computer.

I bought mine (similar specs to the one you're looking at) from cyberpowersystems.com. Might not be the best deal out there, but the PC I got from them runs great.
