I'm currently building a new computer, since my dad (works at Intel) got a huge discount on a Core 2 Duo processor and a motherboard, so we just decided to make a whole new box. Here's what I have so far:
Case:
Athenatech A100BB.200 Black Steel MicroATX Mini Tower Computer Case 230W Power Supply - $79.182
Processor:
Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 Conroe 2.4GHz 4M sharing L2 Cache LGA 775 Processor - Paid For - $165
Motherboard:
Intel DQ965GFEKR MircoATX Motherboard w/ Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 3000 onboard - Paid For - $135
Memory:
Corsair 1GB (2 x 512MB) DDR PC5400 TwinX Memory 667Mhz Los Cas Latency - $107.98
HD:
Maxtor 500GB HD Serial ATA/300 Hard Drive 16 MB Buffer 7200 RPM - $179.99 (unsure about this, since it's Maxtor and all, but I have never had any problems with Maxtor so...)
What should I add/take out, etc.? Any other suggestions?
I know, the motherboard is probably going to suck...I can't do anything about it, though. I'm going to try to convince my dad to get ATI's Crossfire, instead of the (probably shitty) onboard video support.
Thank you.
