okay, so i have/will have $800 soon or more if i wait. and i was planning on getting a new computer, going custom built. now i was hoping for it to be high-end for a year or 2. i dont know if im going am2 or 939. probably not intel.

in this budget, i will need:
video card (considering 7600gt)
cpu (considering x2)
mobo (maybe sli for expandability)
case (eh, just leave $60 out of the budget for it)
ram (1 or 2 gb will be good)
hdd
cooling (air)
and anything else that i might have forgotten

no monitor.

thanks guys. i will probably start building in a week or two.
 
are you sure you can get all that for $800? it sounds like a good machine to me
i have $806. hopefully tomorrow i'll have more, depending on if i work or not. i don't know.
 
yeah. im really looking forward to it. but i dont know if i should spend the extra few dollars to go am2(because i dont know if its gonna really take off) or if i should stick with the tried-and-true socket939.

oh yeah, i remember what my other dilema was...(warning: rant)
i just bought an xbox360, and my mom is telling me that im buying too much stuff. and i see what she means, but i just got a job, im 16 and now, its summer. like the 360 is my current gaming machine. but i do have games for the pc but i dont play them cuz my pc can barely run them in low settings(onboard video, etc).
but then i know that we(my family) will need a new pc soon. so idk.
i just spent $400 on a 'uber' gaming machine - xbox 360. and now im spending $800+ on another (pc). but the pc is gonna suite my other gaming needs. plus help with other programs.

so idk, im just like "f**k it'. cuz im tired of waiting to build a pc.



edit: yes i will need mouse, keyboard.

and my budget is now up to $1000
