Pentium dual-core E5300@2.60ghz, it has 2GB ram but only 1.87 usable (hence the shitty video card that is a GeForce 7050/Nvidia nForce 610i) | ||

Tower - Cooler Master NV-334-KWN1-GP Elite 334 nVidia case - $179.99 Power Supply - 650 watt PSU - Bundle with Tower Motherboard - MSI P7N SLI LGA775 ATX Motherboard - Bundle with Tower Memory - Kingston OR Corsair 2x2GB Memory Cards - $80ish Graphics Card - Radeon HD 4650 - $80 If I Remember Correctly Chip - Intel Premium Dual-Core E6500 Processor (Fan - Mass Cool CPU Cooling Fan - $10.99) - $80? OS - Windows 7 (Student Discount for $65) Hard Drive - Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 750GB SATA/300 7200RPM 32MB - I think it was $80 Total = 580 I think, I have an extra Office 2007 License, I don't think im getting it all at once im going to build it as i get the money, obviously having to buy The Tower Bundle first, along with the chip, chip fan, Hard Drive, and memory. Using the onboard Graphics for about 2-4 Weeks until i get the money. Actally i have a Hard Drive from my last computer about 8 years ago, Any chance i can use it momentarily to get my computer up faster, or will it not fit on the motherboard? Thanks for the help EDIT: I currently have 1GB of RAM, a 75GB Hard Drive, and everything is running pretty poorly. ALSO!!!!! I am getting a new mouse (basically all new setup) and along with any feedback from my computer can you tell me if i should get a Logitech MX518, Razer Krait, or Razer Copperhead. Thanks | ||

I'll have access to like $600 but i don't want to spend that much if i don't have to. I prefer not to order it all randomly online, there is a nearby CompUSA that I can go to to buy things. And any advice on the mouse? | ||

![[image loading]](http://www.hiboox.fr/go/images/image-perso/config,76db3373778548ee06eaeb8019b6d715.png.html) Just add an hard drive and the OS. You can probably take a bit cheaper Ram ( i'm not an expert about Ram and i think that my pick is a bit overkill for this kind of comp ) so i guess you can save like 20 more $ and take an Athlon II x4 620 instead. | ||

Moreover there is no real reason to prefer a 4870 over a 5770 anymore. Anyway which Ram would you pick ? | ||

Anyway which Ram would you pick ? Yeah i just noticed it was at 140 the other day t-t really is a bad time to buy as it's a transitional period that hasn't gone well due to recession | ||

Though fight between the Antec 200 and the Asgard too :o most computer things have a 1-3 year manufacture warranty. Antec for the most part are high quality products you're not just getting 70more watts you also getting a 40 amp 12v rail vs just your 30 amp means it can run more powerful gpus easier. All you're getting with corsair is a name brand that just bursted into the psu business and made a few great cheap psus but now is still good psus for very expensive amounts. Both are fully atx eps single rail 12v from repuable brands except one costs more and has less power and amps | ||
