Alright well I've recently come to acquire a bit of cash with a new job and other things and I was considering buying a new comp. My old one is capable but I guess I'm just obsessed with having top of the line-ish stuff. Not bleeding-edge, mind you, but high-quality stuff. So, the specs to my old rig arent very important. What is important is I think can manage to pawn it off for around $1500. This puts my new budget at about $2200-$2300 ish.

So anyways, I've done some homework and came to find these components with the help of Newegg. I know you guys may not like judgin other people's prospective comps or wasting time with "another new build" but if ya dont like it, don't comment . (Watch I'll probly end up with no new comments haha). I may have too much or too little of something; feel free to critique. Anyways, here it goes.

Alright i kinda posted this in a rush so lemme know if I left anything out. Thanks


EDIT - changed memory thanks to the help right below haha

Your ram is DDR1, to work, your motherboard needs DDR2

Get Crucial Ballistix 1066MHz instead.

UPDATE Link for the memory. Comes with a Crazy MIR aswell.
Newegg.com - Crucial Ballistix 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Retail

If I were you I'd rather just get an Newegg.com - MSI P6N Diamond LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 680i SLI ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail since it has built in xi-fi and basically is the same as the Asus in specs. I also like MSI more as a company.

On memory I'd reccomend Newegg.com - G.SKILL 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Retail cause of the great price + timings.

Btw I saw on the edit it said you changed memory but it still links to a DDR 400 memory.

Thanks for the suggestions. Yes i noticed it too. It goes to what was there before, but im sure I copied the link from some Corsair Dominator DDR2 ram. Strange. Oh well just ignore it

Thanks again to the other suggestions

You should consider OCZ ram, its a little less expensive than corsair. I think you should take a E6600 2.4GHZ CPu and buy a 8800GTX or GTS instead of a 2.66GHZ. Your CPU fan can be better than that because if you're gonna buy a "that price system" you'll need a really good cooling. Finaly, I really think that your power supply is a bit expensive, don't take SLI enable if you don't want to use that option, its less expensive to take a non SLI enable power supply.

hope that helps
