Re: Help with PCmaking
Amd is the chip you want to buy
You want a 3000 xp64 processor((atleast) (make sure you buy retail in a box as it comes with a fan some custom fans are harder for the novice to install so stick with stock)
A skt 939 motherboard with pci express (buy an nforce 4 board as sata controllers will work without drivers)
A nvidia 6600gt graphics card at least
I would build a midi tower for ease
You need at least a gig of ddr 400/pc3200 in 2 x 512 strips.
Optical drives and hard drives are your choice but a sata drive is best
Buy a good 450 watt (at least)powersupply expect to spend 40 to 50 quid for a good one
Buy all from one place and buy an oem copy of xp
Read the manual very carefully first and make sure when installing the processor be very careful removing from packaging and do not drop.Buy an anti static wrist band too
