Re: Building A Computer - Master Shake - 07-27-2008
Here is my updated list:
Case
Hard Drive
Video Card
Processor
Motherboard
Memory
edit: new mobo
   PSU
   Do I need any fans??? Anything else you can tell me that will help. I'm planning on ordering the parts later this week, and I don't want to get anything that might not work!

Looks like it comes with two 250mm fans, though it looks like there's a space for a 120mm on the back as well. I would probably get another fan just for the hell of it, but that's just me.

Go for ddr2 mobo (asus) x38 rather than x48 (cheaper ^^)
and ddr2 mem.

Everyone says ddr2, but I'd rather just spend the money on a ddr3 mobo and ram now, so in the future I just have to upgrade my cpu. I know there's basically no difference now, but in a year or so it should be worth it.

That's always my plan, but I have never actually bothered just to upgrade the CPU. There's always some new doo-hickey (AGP, PCI-E, SATA, etc, etc, etc,) coming available, and it always seems better to save up for a full upgrade than lock more money into an old mobo.
Maybe if upgrade a CPU every 9-12 months it might make sense, but that's too rich for my blood.

The tribe has spoken.
It's time for you to buy ddr2 mobo.
