 |
|
Hello group..
I need some advice on hardware to build a new box. I've built quite a few
machines for myself but have been out of touch with new architeccture. My
old M'board (Gigabyte Socket A) cooked and I'd like to build an economical
Athlon 64 that will handle the gammut of the Athlons. I'd like to stay
around $500 if thats possible. I'd also like to try low end dual processor
and upgrade down the line but I'd like a decent V'card and try out the
PCI-Express. I do some occasional drafting and 3dmodeling but not too
intensive (solidworks).
I'll need at least 1 standard PCI for my Wirelss Card and I'd like at lest 2
ATA 100 for DVD and my old HD as slave. I will use my existing Monitor,
keyboard, mouse, etc.
Looking for recoms on..........
Case?
M'Board?
CPU?
V'card?
Mem?
H'Drive (sata)?
DVD burner?
Also...what consensus on a "configured" box from HP?
Thanks to any help or input.
