Is this any good?

Does any of this conflict with each other?

Dunno much about pentiums or mobos for pentiums so will leave that to someone else.

The HDD you chose is slow.  You want 7200rpm and an 8mb cache not 2mb

The graphics card you chose is not very good either.  Yes its cheap but it doesnt even fully support FS9



Take a look at this chart.  It would be off the bottom of this list!  Take your choice from one of these  ;D

Ram never heard of that make and I dunno how fussy Pentium mobos are on ram so cant comment.

Those links took FOREVER to load on my dialup connection, so I couldn't navigate them with much success, but it's apparent that you don't know enough about the technology to design a system.

You need to do a lot of research or ask for a specification.

That gear you plan on ordering will not work at all!

Oh dear! this is the best miss-matched set of components I've seen since I did something similar a few years back!

[Anti-Societys Snake]

my buget is in the 500 doller range, I know you can make a great gaming comp for less than 600 doellers. My system HAS GOT TO BE IN THE CASE i SHOWED! i LOVE THAT CASE......... any way, could some one build me one (in that case) , one that will run FS9 well with medium high settings all around in good fps with lots and lots of speed and memory? good sound?


Thank you for saving me from the dooooooooms day I almost made.

[Anti-Societys Snake]

Thank you! I'm goign to book mark all of those parts. and I'mstill getting that case  ::) I just realy like it. unless there is a socket problem.

[4_Series_Scania]

I've looked to better Congo's quoted system and given up!

Seriously though, forget the case, or its looks, its whats displayed on your monitor thats important.

Oh and your listed case is @350 watt, I'd advise you go for 400 as a minimum.  ;)

[Anti-Societys Snake]

I relize that the case is un important, but it's pretty cheap and comes with a rebate. and a opticale mouse and keyboard.


The system that I chose (Out of the optinal parts) came out  to 921.00 ..... but I plsnned ahead, I got a 64bit processer and a radeon I went 120gigs on the hd instead of the suggested 80. I went cheaper on the thinng that could up grade a lil easier later, like GFX card. I'll post the list in a minute.

[congo]

$920 ....?

Had you considerd socket 939?

[Anti-Societys Snake]

Why? does socket matter?




...... does any one know if wal-mart or k-mart hire 14 year olds?  ::)

[Anti-Societys Snake]

at minimum wage I can get that system in less than 6 weeks!!!!!!  ;D and as a kid I don't have to pay taxes or pay bills!!!!!! *Laughs at adulthood* just kidding of coarse, but if I can get a job, I will be very happy and won't let it drop readily untill a better oppertunity arises!
