Hey guys. Im getting a new computer, well actually, I am building it; ordering most of the parts off of newegg.com I just wanted some techies to check out the parts, and let me know if i am getting my moneys worth. Any suggestions, or comments would be appreciated! 
Take A Look! =)

I'd get more memory.
And quite honestly, I have the regular XMS 3200 (not LL) and it runs 2-3-2-5 just fine at 225MHz (450).

Ill get more memory eventually. This is just a 'starter package' =)

A quick note: Newegg.com is an excellent place to buy components. I've bought from them on 3 seperate occasions and was very impressed.

get 512 megs of generic 3200 instead. you cant tell the diff too much between generic and XMS, but 512 and 256 IS a big difference.

looks good but u still got to get harddrive 80 gig or above id say, videocard ud need these and i go with win xp and yeah more memory cuse it will slow down ur computer a lot with out it.

i asked the exact same question as you did when i build my computer, i asked people on this forum to review the parts i'm going to buy and what they said is "more and faster ram" (i got a PC2100 512 RAM) and i ignored their advise and now i regret it
i wasted 349 dollars on the ati radeon 9700 pro and i wish i got a geforce 4 ti4800 se instead and reinvest the money in a pc 2500 if not pc 3200 ram and probably expanded up to 1gb
so you better listen to these guys, if you are going to eventually upgrade them, why not now, so you won't waste the money on that 256mb stick

Ive a;ready got a 120gb HDD, and I plan on getting teh ATI Radeon 9200. I'll add more RAM to that computer setup as soon as I get a chance to shop around on newegg. Is the Radeon 9200 a good choice?
Posted by: INeedHelp
9200 or 9200 SE? 64mb or 128mb? i'd recommend you get 9200se 128mb if you want a 9200

Get 2x256mb Of RAM, to take advantage of the Duel Channel DDR (Yes I know it pretty much sucks, but it gives a little better pefronance)
Are you going to overclock? If not get some cheaper RAM, like Kingston HyperX or Buffalo.

Ok, I plan on ordering the computer this week. However, I would like you guys (if you have the time) to send me a link to newegg on which stick(s) of RAM to order and which Video Card. What Im looking for is the best buy for my buck. Thanks guys!

I think that everyone is just about right on on this one, definately get more memory, especially if you are planning on running any release of XP--for that OS you need at least 512 for a good system. You might also see if you can amp up the juice on the powersuply, 300 watts is pretty minimal for the calibur system you seem to want.

Here is everything esle you want

The Buffalo Ram is very quality stuff. The 9500pro is a great card, and I believe that you can softmod it into a 9700pro, and get that Antec Power Supply for some extra room. 300w is not a lot.

The wish list is empty. Try clicking on the 'Share this with friends' link. =)
