Hey guys. I noticed this topic is closed, but I wanted to update the info, if possible.
I am definitely interested in building a new computer in May/June, and I am reevaluating my budget. I am also definitely studying abroad in England next semester, so currently my money is all focused on that. However, I don't anticipate spending 3K while I'm abroad, so I should have a sizable budget on my return in mid-May.
Is this list that Lafy made a while back still relevant? http://secure.newegg.com/WishList/PublicWi...Number=26661928
I was also thinking of trashing my current case, it's too small. I hate the ventilation on it, total crap. It heats up way too easily. Therefore, I'm adding in a case to the list of needed parts. I was looking at this one, as it comes with 5 fans and is really cheap. http://www.amazon.com/APEVIA-Mid-Tower-Cas...pd_sim_sbs_pc_1
Recently I upgraded from my NVidia 8400 GS to the 9500GT, and this pushed my power supply to the limits, so I removed my DVD drive. Using an external USB one now, so the drive is still no issue.
All in all, I am really excited to build a new computer, but wanted a reevaluation on the parts I can get for cheap (600-750$ budget MAX). Thanks, guys!
