hi all

I want to upgrade my computer because my current one is a celeron 766mhz powered pc but i am on a very limited budget ($700 NZD)
and i would like to have a decent build to do basic stuff like word,playing music and playing world of warcraft

im currently looking at this hardware

AMD Athlon64 x2 6000+

Asus M2A-VM HDMI

Kingston ddr2 667mhz 1GB x2

Seagate 320gb SATA2 16mb

any comments would be welcome

cheers

I don't see why people buy such big HD's. I have a 250 WD and I've only filled maybe 2 gigs+the windows installation in the last 6 months. What programs do you guy run to use so much memory?

im also going to be using this computer to run multimedia applications such as Sibelius,total recorder,Protools and audacity

and the hard drive is the cheapest they sell in the store i want to buy from

Do you have a case, Power supple, Operating system picked out?

yeah i've got a case thats quite new well i bought it in January with a 400W power supply and i've already got an operating system (windows xp professional)and the same goes for the dvd writer and monitor (17" CRT)

thanks for the comments so far

You might want to upgrade the psu to at least 500w

yes if you plan to run a descrete video card in the future id say 550W or better

Hi,

I don't know how much you are going to pay for the ram but NCIX has 2 GB of Patriot ram, CL4-4-4-12 800Mhz for around $100.00 might be worth checking out. Also they have good selection of power supplies. Hope this helps.

thanks everyone for your comments

i am actually thinking of buying a better power supply but i don't really know much about them but i was looking at this one

C1 Shoppingmall - Your good Net neighbour - COOLERMASTER EXTREME POWER 650W SUPER SILENT[RS-650-PCAR]

would this be sufficient if i would later add a 8800gt into my build?

any comments would be appreciated

That seems feasible.

I believe the minimum PSU requirements for the 8800 gt is 500W. Plus, the PSU your looking at is pretty solid

Yes that psu will suite you fine
