It's about time to put the CPU (AMD Athlon 64 4000+) and Video Card (GeForce 6800GT) which I got at the x64 VIP Launch to good use ;-). It's going to be pretty hard to top VolkerW's BYOB64 (2), which was basically the best "Build Your Own Box for 64-bit Windows" I've ever seen ;)
Here's the plan:
- PSU: OCZ ModStream OCZ45012U ATX 450W Power Supply ($87 at Newegg)
- Case: Cooler Master Centurion 5 Enclosure ($76.50 at Newegg)
- Processor: AMD Athlon 64 4000+ (Free from x64 VIP Launch)
- Video Card: GeForce 6800GT (Free from x64 VIP Launch)
- Motherboard: TBA (Still thinking..)
- RAM: 2 x 1gb PC3200 DDR (Thank you, IWill :-D)
- Hard Disk: Maxtor MaXLine III 7B300S0 300GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache Serial ATA Hard Drive ($195.50 at Newegg)
- Optical Drive: Lite-On Black 16X DVD±R ($54.99 at Newegg)
- Operating System: Windows XP Professonal x64 "Commemorative Edition" (Free from x64 VIP Launch)
- Games:
- Farcry x64 Edition (Free from x64 VIP Launch)
- Unreal Tournament 2004 x64 Edition (Free from x64 VIP Launch)
- The Chronicles of Riddick x64 Edition (Free from x64 VIP Launch)
- Shadow Ops: Red Mercury x64 Edition (Free from x64 VIP Launch)
- I already beat this game on XBox :-(
- Half Life 2 Collector Edition PC Game ($59.99 from Newegg)
Newegg.com Total: $492.98
Any comments on my selections? Should I get other / more stuff? Remember, I'm on a very limited budget.
