building a new computer...what do you think?

I'm putting together a new system.

What do you think of these hardware specs?

Do you think any of these parts won't work each other or is it all good?

 

What will you be primarily doing on it? gaming? video editing?

 

mainly photoshop, web development, itunes, opera+FF+IE+netscape, VPNs....mainly just web development.

I might do a little gaming, Halo here and there, maybe Starcraft...

 

Personally id get rid of AMD all together and go with Intel and id also replace the nvidia with an ATI card.

 

I'm building a new one too:

Celeron 3.0G
2 x 200 Gig Sata drives with Raid Control
2G Ram
Deluxe M/B with all in one
256 Mb Vid PCI-E Card

This will replace my old system:

P3 700Mhz
256 Ram
80G HDD
64 Mb Vid AGP

I should see a little improvement.

 

A little I think youll be seeing quite a bit wait until you feel the response time

 

looks good fsmedia! I love that case you picked out. Very cool!

 

Thanks! I want to do some mods for my iPod for it...and I want it to be integrated well with my digital cam.

If I can urge you in one direction, do NOT get a celeron....they may be the worst processor ever created. Especially if you're getting 2gb of ram....spend the extra bit and get a sweet processor, it's worth it.

 

If you can afford it get a dual cpu

I got one and it's amazing!!!

If you do get a dual though go with an AMD, they beat out intel on every single benchmark test

 

if your buildeing a system and want it to last a few years get the new amd x2 duo core

all others are crap compared to it.

 

that's what i have, though it's only the 3800 but it's still way more for what i need, and i think i can upgrade later

 

dude that a powerful chip!

 

i know i'm not bashing it, but if i had some more money to spend i would've gotten a higher up one hehe

 

Too late. I have already paid for it. Just waiting for it to be delivered. Thanks for the tips anyway. Iv'e had Celerons before. They are OK.

 

but it's the X2, completely blows the intel duals out of the water, and they're cheaper

check out cnet's review: http://reviews.cnet.com/4520-10442_7-6389077-1.html

 

you wont be dissapointed with that system.

 

I agree with SVZ

 

Cool pc,those stats would 100% blow my piece of crap outta the water

 

I'll probably go with the 4200 FX X2

Do you guys think these are compatible with each other?

Edit: I'm thinking about going with this processor... the 4400 instead... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16819103546 .. thoughts on it?

I guess I'm really just trying to get at... will my mobo be compat with my processor? It shows my mobo at 1000mhz FSB compat, but the processor is showing 2000mhz FSB? I couldn't find a 2000mhz FSB mobo though.....maybe I'm just mis-reading it....any ideas on this?

 

You really don't need to go that high

With the 3800+ I can render Adobe, while designing in Macromedia AND doing a spyware check without any lag
