I just need an okay from a few people. I haven't built a new computer since the E8400 was the latest and greatest thing, but I have tried to keep up with stuff. I've got a friend who I'm building a new computer for. Basically, his old one is a celeron (<2.0GHz) and is just jam packed full of junk. I told him I could reinstall, but his USB connectors on the mobo are fried (wouldn't even let me plug in my flash with out surging...dumb) and aren't even USB 2.0, so we just decided to go with a new build. Here's what I've got.
Case - Gigabyte: $50.00
MB - Gigabyte 740G: $50.00 + $8.00 to ship
CPU - Phenom 9600: $90.00
RAM - A-Data 4GB DDR2-800: $44.00
PSU - Antec 380w: $45.00
We'll be re-using the optical drive and hard drive, and I'll have to call and hassle Microsoft cuz I'm using the same license code for XP home (yes I know that it'll only read 3.5GB of the RAM...but I'm leaving open for upgrade if they want to get the new windows os when it comes out) since we'll be decommissioning the old computer anyways.
Anyways, total price for those parts comes to $287 shipped. The computer will only be used for office tasks such as internet browsing and typing up documents and managing checkbooks and what not...that's why I've added no video card since there'll be no gaming.
So does it sound okay?
Thanks guys,
Zac
