what parts to get to build a new comp

[RandomGuy]

from what youre saying.... you dont need shit in a system... forget P4

Id recomend an AMD Sempron for your situation... thatll run cheaper than a celeron too but totally kill the celeron...
some ram
A video card (which contains the GPU)
a case... which contains the PSU
Drives (hard disk, optical, etc)
Sound, LAN etc are usually on the boards now a days...

i got a system in another thread i got to get rid of> its brand new
2.8ghz Celeron D 533 FSB w/ custom ballbearing spiral fan
1 GB PC3200 DDR w/heatsink
80 GB Seagate Barracuda
ATI Radeon 9250 Pro 128 MB
DVD + - RW 16x w/ Dual Layer
Nice ass case with neons everywhere.

This system is mid ranged... OK for gaming... OK for everything $650 w/ 17" monitor, keyboard, etc.

ouch, seems steep for a celeron.
and most cheap cases contain do contain PSUs, some higher end ones do also.

the above rig would be perfect, its actually a kinda decent rig, especially if it comes with a nice keyboard, monitor ect. who makes your ram that ram? And what kind of "nice ass case" do you have.

and AMD does kick intels ass, soo... research up, and build an AMD rig. just intels are easier to find if u just want to find a nice used computer.
