Will This Work? Custom Build

[asmithz]

BUMP

[pc-gamer-dude]

any motherboard will fit.

and about your ram choice, heres better stuff:
either
http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc....y=BROWSE&depa=1 2 sticks of that

or

2 sticks of this:
http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc....y=BROWSE&depa=1

the first one is a bigabyte of memory, but slower memory, and the second one is faster, but only 512mb. 512mb of memory will be good for now.. and you can always get more later, id go with the second one, and grab a 512mb stcik at a later time. remember whatever one you get make sure to get 2 sticks of it.

512 should be fine for normal use....if you want to run 20 big apps and expect good perfomance from games, id get a gig

Ok one more question i promise (i think )

Is this a good monitor?

http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc....y=BROWSE&depa=0

This one is half the price and about the same crap. What do you think?

It all depends on multi tasking.....if you plan to run a few background apps (zone alarm, kazaa, mesenger, ICQ) and play games, 512 will be fine....if you want to run loads of big apps and play games at the same time, then a gig or 768 should do you

[asmithz]

Most things i use on here a one time. The background programs would be; norton (corp), swap gate (all day & night), sygate pro, and flashget.

What about the monitor? is that one cool?

[RGX]

Monitor looks very nice, I would go for it.

Memory.....512 should be fine for your needs, however if you have the money lying around from your budget then I would go for more , just incase, bigger is better, ask Mad Cat, he has 2 gigs

[asmithz]

Yeah i was gonna make 768 becuase i am still below &#036;2000 Will 512 or 768 affect gaming?
