Upgrading my computer


Ark Of Thought

My motherboard doesn't have an AGP slot (thanks dell) so I'm buying a new motherboard, case and vid card.

My budget is 200$ and this is what I have so far:

Ahanix Ultra-compact tower ATX Case Model G20 - Retail

15$ @ New Egg

Epox EP-4PEAD Socket 478/ Intel 845PE/FSB 533/8X AGP/Audio/ ATX Motherboard

60.95$ @ House of Computers

ATI RADEON 9600 256MB DDR AGP 8X TV OUT / DVI

118.85$ @ House of Computers

Is that a smart choice? Do you know of anything cheaper?

Thanks! 8)

WTF are you guys talking about? He isn't looking for a CPU or at least he didn't say so! BTW, radeon isn't the cheapest but its def the greatest! :D

I went ahead and bought:

Albatron Px865PE PRO

ICUE 98-SLW-BK Mid Tower ATX Case with 420Watts Power Supply

Christmas i'm going to buy an ATI Radeon 9800 Pro and 512mb of ram

:D

Too late for my $.02.... should've noticed this earlier.

Honestly, if you're not going to be doing any huge math work, you wasted your money. P4/1.8ghz 'eh...

You could've had a box at at least 3000+ (should you not mind overclocking) with decent enough video to hold you over until you can get a good card for $200 ;)

I dont know...
