As much Money as needed?

 

[josephd18]

Yes, say i can spend any amount on money on my computer, I am willing to spend any amount of money for this computer to be good.

A pretty good site recommending stuff to build a cheap, quality computer. I've taken some cue's frm there seeing that my budget is limited to about $1000.

But since money is no object for you.........you might as well go for gold

 

[Rob]

Alright, if its no object I will do one when I get home.

Oh boy.

 

[josephd18]

No. Sorry if I sounded like a f*cking idiot, I actually wanna spend all my money in this computer, I saved up a reasonable amount, and ill spend it on my computer... Even if that means eating Beans and Rice for a year.

 

[josephd18]

Thanks for that website, its great. Cheers mate.

may i enquire as to how much money you wanna spend

 

[Joe Star]

He's got all the dough in the world aparently

 

[josephd18]

You have a problem mate? I have already said the reason for my comment amount money. We are talking about $3500 usd. Im wishing that will get a nice computer.

 

[Rob]

To be honest with you.

You only need half of that, and not even, better off upgrading as the time comes or getting a brand new PC in 2, 3 years after building this one, and therefore you will find yourself with a better PC longer.

I'd recommend a voodoo 3dfx card

You can build two decent pc with that cash and start charging your m8s to use the other pc.

But yeah like Rob said, don't really need to spend all that cash, spend around half which you can get a decent/good gaming pc. Then upgrade as time goes by since you know that new gfx card and new technology comes out like every second. This way you don't have to eat beans and rice all year again.

LCD Widescreen Monitor (not to big) - 19" Samsung SM-940B LCD Monitor
Case - Lian-Li PC Plus 7 Aluminium case
Keyboard - Logitech Ultra-X keyboard
Mouse - Logitech G5 Mouth
Optical Drive - NED NC4550 DVD-RW
Graphics Card - nVidia GeForce 7800GTX 512mb (x2)
Speakers - Logitech Z-5500 5.1 speakers
HD - Samsung SpinPoint SATA-II 200gb (x2)
Motherboard - Epox EP-9NPA+ SLi motherboard (socket 939, nForce4 SLi)
CPU - AMD Athlon X2 4800+ (socket 939)
RAM - Corsair 2GB DDR XMS3200C2PT TwinX CAS 2 (2 x 1gb)

Plus stuff like a good PSU (FSP/Enermax etc.) and maybe some better cooling stuff, like Arctic Silencers for the graphics card etc.

Probably not a great idea as this stuff devalues very quickly with new stuff coming out all the time, plus its going to cost the same as the GDP of a third world country

Thanks to all!

I have updated the 1st post with all the things i like from all of your posts (mostly Dave's thanks mate).

I am not really convinced about the

Case
Speakers and
LCD Monitor

So any help, will be greatly appreciated.

Well choosing them is not a problem, but finding them and building your system piece by piece might be.
