: I built a "pricewatch" Athlon system back in February, which is also a 600 built on an ASUS mobo. Can't go wrong there. : How about a CD-ROM? You can get those cheap nowadays as well. : I'd go for the AGP vid card just because the mobo supports it. Save the PCI slots for things that will need them later on. : : I think you'll have a problem with your selection of cases. First off you have selected an ATX form factor motherboard. This will NOT work with the first case you have listed. Furthermore, I was always told that AMD processors are VERY picky when it comes to power supplies and that you need a 250W minimum -- 300W preferred. That first case you have listed is only 200W. Not good. : On to the second case: This conforms to the ATX form factor. That's good. It also has a 250W power supply -- also good. Check AMD's site regarding power supplies. It might save you some headache in the long run. : You may also want to pick up an extra fan for your case. 80mm fans only run a few bucks each. : Click on the link below. There you can find some excellent information about building a PC. : Good Luck! : Matt : : : Motherboard/CPU= Duron 600, Via KT133, 4X AGP, UDMA 66, 2 USB, ATX w/ 5PCI, & 3 DIMM, Built In Sound. Heatsink and fan included. : : 128 MB PC133 SDRAM DIMM : : 8.4GB EIDE harddrive (5400 rpm) : : Soundblaster 16 (pci) : : Trident Blad 3D 8mb sgram(AGP or PCI, which should I use?) : : and a case. can I use shis one: http://www.compgeeks.com/details.asp?invtid=205-4241 : : or this one: http://www.compgeeks.com/details.asp?invtid=205-4260 : : so how does it look in terms of primarily MAME usage. All I need is a monitor. Any ideas on where I can find one cheap? Sorry if this seems like a stupid post, but this is my first PC, and I want to do it right. Thanks.
