Anywhere I can improve this and stay under budget?
I'm planning on trying to unlock the Sempron's second core, so a mobo I can do that with is required. CPU/Mobo: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDet...st=Combo.254106 RAM: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16820148163 HDD: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16822136161 DVD: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16827106289 PSU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16817171046 Case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16811147127 Speakers: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16836110026 Have a monitor, keyboard, mouse, and OS (Will be dual booting Windows XP and whatever Linux disk is on top of my pile) I can reuse. Budget is $300 USD after shipping, this comes up to $295 after shipping. |

I would honestly recommend a 9600 GSO in this case. :P
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...1-320-_-Product Not that your build isn't good, but NVidia actually owns the bang for buck at this price point with the GSO. The 9600 GSO will beat out the 4670 in many cases. The only real advantage the 4650 has over the 9600 GSO is the size of form factor and power consumption. |
