June 21, 200719 yr Alrighty.. I build computers, and thats what i do. I even do a fair bit of programming (like my own rs client). I've build computers for many people and spent over $1500 building mine, because i was stupid and got the parts when they were best on the market. But I want to build my dad a computer, and his current one is 4 years old and about to putter out. I shop newegg because tigerdirect was nubby to me once. Tell me what you think about this: I'm not getting a video card, because i have one of my older ones that will still run any game on high flawlessly. Links to parts (in order they appear in the picture): DvD burner Case (not a big issue, might just have comp sitting on table :D HDD Mobo Cheap Power Great RAM, cheap price... CPU I have to keep it under 400, and its like 405 shipped so thats good. Just lemme know what you all think and if i should change anything. thats right, zoidnerd stole MY sig.
June 21, 200719 yr I'd look for a better power supply. Going cheap on power supplies makes your computer vulnerable to being fried and you'll probably end up replacing the power supply as it won't last as long from normal use as a good one. I'd consider this one. Has a 2 year warrenty, runs about $60 and has over voltage protection. Even if you have a surge protector, doesn't hurt as I've seen lightning go threw USB a power strip and fry the power supply. FSP Group (Fortron Source) AX450-PN, 12cm FAN, version 2.2, 2 SATA, PCI Express, 450W Power Supply - Retail 107/126 combat84 agi -- 76 slayer -- 73 prayer -- 73 range -- 82 mage -- 85 str,att,def and 86 hp.Summoning 0 (gotta love disease with skills at level 1 lol) It is fun to see how long noobs will beg and follow you :)
June 21, 200719 yr Not a bad build. I see no build problems. Even though that power supply is cheap, the reviews are not bad, so it seems like a good deal. For budget systems, Amd processors are better then Intel right now.
