Building a new PC
This PC will be for my parents. And for me to rip/burn DVDs/CDs, since my laptop cannot do it without kicking up the fans to Mach 2 level. So, I'm not looking for anything that will pimp out the latest games. I know it'd be possible if I bought a nice graphics card, but I don't want to spend money on that.
Here's the parts that I'm looking at. Any suggestions would be appreciated, but I'm trying to keep this under 350. Processor: AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+(65W) Windsor 2.0GHz Socket AM2 Processor for $131 OR AMD Athlon 64 3500+ Orleans 2.2GHz 512KB L2 Cache Socket AM2 Processor for $89 Motherboard ASUS M2NPV-VM Socket AM2 NVIDIA GeForce 6150 Micro ATX AMD Motherboard for $88 RAM CORSAIR ValueSelect 1GB (2 x 512MB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 667 for $109 Video/Sound/Communications On Board Hard Drive Something from my old computer, 160 GB. Optical Drives Some Lite-ON DVD-RW I bought a year back AND LG DVD Burner for $31 Case Inwin C720T for $50 Monitor/Keyboard/Speakers/Mouse: Old Computer. Most amazing jew boots |

It's a good budget build. I would choose the X2 processor because multitasking will be better (i.e. burning and web surfing at the same time, etc). Other than that, looks like you are on your way!

I normally like the NEC DVD burner a tiny bit better, even if it's 5-6 dollars more.
This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
