Okay, I do not know when, I am guessing...in about 3 to 5 months, min/max, I will have the spare funds to either, buy a new PC, build my own utilizing parts from my current, or full build from scratch (meaning new HDD, CD drive, keyboard, etc) At that time I will have 500 to 750 min/max to spend. So far I was looking at the following MoBo, Processor, Power Supply, Video Card, and Case, but that is all I have so far, as I was planning originally to re use my HDD, CDROM, and such. MoBo (two listed as I don't see the big difference, or if the cost difference is worth the extras) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131646 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...Deals-_-na-_-na&AID=10521304&PID=3463938&SID= Proc http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103727 PSU http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139017 (I own this one currently but will upgrade to one below if needed) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139004 I would have preferred a modular one, but couldn't find a good one with good reviews in a price range I liked >.<. Video Card http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...4150467&cm_re=ati_5670-_-14-150-467-_-Product (I own this one currently but may upgrade for more future proofing) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102898 Case http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...Deals-_-na-_-na&AID=10521304&PID=3463938&SID= Other options on a case? With my math I came out to about 720. I would like to be cheaper if I could, but I am trying to make it as future proof as I can, while on low budget. If worse to worse, anyone has any ideas on lower grade things I can use, and swap out in the future, like Processor or video card maybe? Thoughts? On the MoBo, due to money I thought about just staying with DDR2 (save me money on RAM and motherboard) and going with this Mobo, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128394 so that would save me 40 on the mobo and about 80 on the RAM (I didn't include that into my cost of 720)
Not sure if it matters, but I'm pulling the salvaged pieces and such from an HP a6203w desktop. The monitor, keyboard, mouse, speakers/audio, HDD, CDROM, accessories, etc. I didn't include RAM, because that is....something I am not familiar with, the speeds, clock timing, or whatever. So feel free to put that in for me.
Renders this entire post completely void. Post back then, as what's worth buying then will have completely changed.
