As soon as I get back the parts that I RMAed today, I'll be able to put together my second self-built computer. I'm salvaging my 17" flatscreen monitor, my case, and my 300 watt power supply from my last build, and adding in:
AMD 2 core 3.2 gHz processor
ASUS M4A78LT-M mobo
2x2 gb Crucial DDR3 10600 RAM
1 tb seagate barracuda HDD
ASUS 210 Silent video card- 1 gb
DVD burner from HP
running WinXP
Came to about $325 from newegg.
This is mostly pretty decent upgrades from my last build, which had a single-core 3.2 gHz Celeron, 1 gb ram, a 360 gb HDD, and a 256 mb video card.
If'n I decide to upgrade piece by piece instead of waiting for another big overhaul, where do you all think my attention should go first?
