lockedon Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 Hello all,I am planning on building a new computer system (Price Range $1000-$1300).I plan on obtaining all parts from Newegg. If any of you know of another online store with better prices, please tell. If there is anything else that I am missing please tell me.Here is a listing of parts that I have in my shopping cart with Newegg.AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ 1GHz FSB Socket 939 Dual Core ProcessorABIT AN8 SLI Socket 939 NVIDIA nForce4 SLI ATX AMD Motherboard - RetailCORSAIR XMS 1GB (2 x 512MB)Antec TRUEPOWERII TPII-430 430W Power SupplyASUS 7800 GTX Video CardNEC Black IDE DVD Burner Model ND-3540AThis type of computer is for primarily used for playing the latest games and encoding videos from my DV Camorder.

Thai3g_Eclipse Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 (edited) A gaming PC will also emphasize on cooling ability, so I recommend this case:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16811112212It's plain and simple, and will go with your black DVD burner well. Lian Li cases have exceptional ventilation and the design is well thought out, and with addition to some Silverstone fans it'll keep the components cool.For the hard drives, I recommend picking up a SATA drive to be used for Windows Partition and installed games (Preferably something like Maxtor's Maxline III 250GB for speed and space), so your older ATA drives will not be a bottleneck for the rest of your system.
