Alright guys the time is almost here,
I now have a full time job so i will soon be able to afford to begin building my SFF Gaming PC,
instead of going with my original plan on a silverstone TJ08 case im acctualy going to start the build of with a Asus uATX barebones tower, it has a 300W PSU and a decent uATX mainboard with the G33 chipset so it can handle a quad core extreem chip if i wanted.
im going to start with a E2140 for the cpu, basicly coz i really want to get this build started and i cna overclock teh hell out of it with a Zalman cooler (dont worrie guys in about a month or so after i buy this i will be buying something along the lines of a E6750 or higher)
ill also start with 2GIG of 667 DDR2 memory i dont see ti worth going to 800 as when i upgrade the cpu ill upgrade the memory also and i want some memory to use with the 2140 CPU when i replace that.
ill be going with a 8600GT card also, this will be upgraded to a 8800GTX at the same time as the CPU and memory, im 99% sure that a GTX will fit in the case as i have read every review on teh case there is and people have said they ahve done it, i ahev not seen any iamges of a GTX in the cases though
when i upgrade from teh lower spec parts to higher spec parts ill also be adding a silverstone 600W PSU
standard DVD dual layer burner, no HDD with the originaly biuld ill use my spare 80GIG sata til i upgrade,
when i upgrade teh HDD's ill be purchasing two 250GIG sata2 drives and putting them in 5.25" caddys one with vista and one with XP and swap the two when i want.
ive bene daul booting vista and XP on my work pc for a while and im sick of it i see it easyer to jstu swao teh HDD's over in caddys.
also when i ahev teh money i will be buying a dell 30" widescreen LCD, i cant buy this untill get my 8800 car though as i dont think the 8600 could handle a screen with a rez of 2560 x 1600 and a second monitor at 1800x1440, which si what i run atm dual 22" dell flat CRT's (trinitrons really) running 1800x1440.
if anyone wants to giv me more advice woudl be greatly apreciated,
but as i now haev to pay fro my fuel driving to work, soon putting a deposiet down on a house and spending money on my girfriend parts will be bought one at a ime after the original $600 crash out which is as follows
Product Price
Zalman CNPS9700LED (Copper) CPU Cooler $76.00
Albatron GeForce 8600GT 256MB PCI Express $125.00
Intel Pentium Dual Core E2140 1.60GHz/1MB CACHE/800FSB/LGA775 $86.00
2GB (2x 1GB Kit) Value Select PC-5300 (667MHz) Corsair $99.00
LG DVD18X+- Super Multi DVD Rewriter with Software(DUAL LAYER)Black $37.00
Asus V3-P5G33 Intel G33 Quad Core Support,1333 FSB $268.00
Total $691.00
thats basicly what im going to start with in aproximatley 2 weeks.
if you take a look at the attatched images i think a GTX will fit, if not i will be buying a GTS OC but ill make teh decision after i purchase the case and all that.
