EPTNow, I've got my build. My budget is basically $550, and that's the absolute cap since It's a bit stretched.. Also, I already have an OS for my computer, so no need to worry about it.
Here's the build:
Motherboard: 49.99
Biostar H61MGC
Processor: 189.99
Intel Core i5-2400 Sandy Bridge 3.1 GHzIntel Core i5-2400 Sandy Bridge 3.1 GHz
Graphics Card: 79.99
HIS H667FS1G Radeon HD 6670 1 GB
RAM: 19.99
Rendition by Crucial 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR3 RAM
Hard Drive + Optical Drive: 99.99
Hitachi 500GB 7200 RPM (Free Sony Optiarc 24x DVD Burner Optical Drive)
Case: 39.99
Xigmatek Asgard II
Power Supply: 44.99
Antec Neo Eco 400W
Total: $524.93
Now, for questions.
1. Newegg ran out of Antec Neo Eco 520W, so I picked the 400W. Is it going to be enough to power a computer like this? I'll have 2 identical monitors with resolutions of 1280x1024, 1 keyboard, 1 mouse.
2. Is there any notably better deals I'm missing? Would it be better to wait for Cyber Monday to buy some of these parts (ex: the hard drive + optical drive is a pretty hot deal so I figured I should buy it right now) or should I buy now?
[b]The rest of the parts I'm buying early-ish december, since I'm only 14 years old, and my parents are giving me $300 for christmas.[/b]
3. Are there any good, cheap keyboards for less than $40? I'm looking for a quiet keyboard with good typing, durable, maybe some media controls. Wired would be good if it has a long cable, if not, then wireless.
Thanks.
