Off-topic : Honestly speaking, the Internal Components you might possibly order within the months to come and being listed previously are way far from being that Obsolete and inappreciable, which means you should not face too many problems while attempting to take advantage out of them for playing non-demanding Entertainment Softwares like Star Wars Battlefront II, for sample. On the other hand, such Retail Parts may not be able to optimize the executing of Specialized Programs requiring a consequent Amount of Available Resources, such as Avid / Softimage|XSI Designs, amongst other comparable ones...

Well, i'm really more interested in playing games and watching films on my computer, that such media, as opposed to programs you call specialised.

Off-topic : Alright, in that case, I guess the Personal Computer you have virtually assembled so far might fit such Uses, although the current Technical Specifications could not suffice in order to enjoy Entertainment Softwares being about to be released. On the other hand, if you accept such Compromises, then the concerned Microsoft® Windows Platform should be eventually worth the purchase, especially thanks to the fact you might consider ordering an INTEL® Core 2 Duo Product once you will have obtained it and gathered additional Financial Resources...

Hang on a moment, taking a look at the graphics card i recently chose if you click on tech specs for it the GPU and memory speeds are 0. Is that correct?

Off-topic : Of course not, and since I have never that trusted most of the Informations supplied by Online Stores comparable to the one you have apparently picked up amongst a lot of others, I usually prefer having a look at those provided on the web-site affiliated towards the Manufacturer(s) of the concerned Products. However, rather amazingly, even the Section having been dedicated to the aimed MSI® Graphics Card - And easily accessible thanks to this web-address - does not deliver the sought Datas, which does not obviously mean that this Design is eventually as much performant as a Crushed one...

OGEB, if you are willing to spend 1100 US Dollars, then you might be interested in this computer -> http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product. ... escription
Processor: Intel Pentium D 3.0 GHz
Memory: 2 GB DDR-2 (capable of up to 4 GB)
Graphic Card: Nvidia 7300LE
Hard Drive: 300 GB serial ATA

I posted this in another thread, but you probably haven't seen it. Or you saw it and didn't like it

It doesn't matter now cos i'm gonna go with this one instead: http://uk.asus.com/products4.aspx?l1=2& ... odelmenu=1
http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/ProductI ... tID=370148

Ok i have now made the final decision, and im getting these items:
Intel® Pentium® 4 Processor supporting Hyper-Threading Technology
ASUS® P5LD2-VM SE with Intel 945G chipset Motherboard
1GB Corsair Value Select DDR2 PC4200 (533) SDRAM DIMM
256Mb ASUS 7300GS Graphics Card
Now i just gotta convince my dad to let me buy them. He said i need to make a business case explaining to him why i need these components. Anybody wanna help me?

Off-topic : First of all, make sure that your lastly-phrased Report of Internal Components you might order within the times to come is Definitive before attempting to persuade someone into letting you act as you would want whereas you aren't that totally certain about your further Purchases. Next, prior to the most important Step of a brand-new Personal Computer's Obtaining, I wouldn't mind learning a little more about your Entourage, and especially concerning one of the rarest person deciding whether you can proceed to such Decisions or not, that's to say your Male Genitor...

Oh sorry, i didn't make it clear. What i plan to do is simply replace those components in my current machine using what case, power supply and drives i already have. If i need a new case i will buy one when i know the size of the motherboard is too big and looking at the sites connected to the concerned motherboard i can find no details of whether it is bigger than my current one so i will have to wait till then however there is no point unless i can convince my dad to let me purchase these components.

As to my situation; i think my parents, especially my mother think i spend way too much time on my computer but she is not in as much power as my father because i guess he reigns dominance over her in his pursuasive talk however she would certainly cause an effect on him in letting me do certain things, such as the purchasing of things that "i don't really need".

The main reasons for me wanting these components is pretty simple and you may have already guessed it (i probabily told you also): a high performing system that is enjoyable to play games and watch films on. A media computer. As i live in a largely rural area with a sparse population there is not much i can do with other people my age, such as sports and recreation. The fact that the one person i make contact with outside of school hours also enjoys playing computer games and watching great films means that we both want great graphics and sound...etc.
That is something to think about for now plus i can't continue writing in this similiar style to you much longer...

Off-topic : All these Precise Details are at the very least interesting and Informative, but it seems I actually need even more Informations regarding your Family and the around Population in order to figure out what may be the possible Options offered to you : Therefore, may I know what the current and past Employments of both your tow Genitors are, additionally to their respective Political Affiliations ? Above all, would you mind submitting me as many Datas as possible about the persons located near the Construction you're living in, like ones comparable to those I have requested through my previous Question ?

Sorry but this is coming across as peculia. Why excactly do you need to know all of these informations?

Off-topic : Merely say that I have mostly requested and taken advantage out of such Resources in order to figure out what may be the probable Leaks and Weaknesses of persons I may have faced troubles with in the Past. Of course, feel free to keep these Informations under silence, since I have not registered onto GameToast Message-Board so as to disturb and lead towards unexpected Behavior other persons attending this Location, but above all to provide as many Advices and Answers to these same Users without planning at any time on affecting them...

I have written up this case.

Benefits
1. The computer is kept up to date with new technologies therefore it is able to carry out tasks associated with it efficiently, quickly and with a interesting graphical display that is both appealing and understandable to the human eye and brain.
2. None

Costs
1. £205.89
2. None

Risks
1. Use of money
2. The manufacturer has been seen to be not that reliable with its hardware so the computer in question may not last much longer anyway and a new one of similar purchase will most likely be more expensive for what you get.

Comments and suggestions plz!

Off-topic : As I may have possibly told you previously, deciding whether you should consider ordering brand-new Retail Parts intended towards your current Microsoft® Windows-based Platform is in fact only up to you, which means providing you our respective Opinions mustn't in any case affect this Choice, and that's why I would advise you to look into this Situation even more closely until you find the most valuable Way to follow, since you're actually the GameToast User being the most interested into learning about this Final Decision...

It's best not to put "boredom" as a reason on a business case.

Don't blame me, it was Qdin's thought!

Help Me Check Compatibility!!!

As the list of components for my computer grows i think i'm going to have some compatibility issues. Could you all check to see if there's something i've missed.
Motherboard: Manufacturer-Retailer-Chipset
CPU: Manufacturer-Retailer
CPU Fan: Manufacturer-Retailer
Memory: Manufacturer-Retailer
Graphics Card: Manufacturer-Retailer
Case: Retailer
I also already have a 80GB PATA Hard Drive, a PATA CD-RW/DVD-ROM Drive and a PATA Floppy Drive.
Thanks

Is this going to include an OS, or are you goin to salvage the old one as a boot drive? The disadvantage to that is the restore disk will no longer work (restore disks usually checks the MB to see if it is the manufacture's computer). If not, you need to add the price of an OEM version of the windows of your choice. Usually you can get it if you purchase any hardware, but as far as pricing, I'm not sure (got mine for $20 from my university tech store).

Diet Dr. Pepper, that's annoying. So i can keep my current XP on my current drive, but i can't use the reinstall disk once i change computers but that shouldn't be a problem if i reinstall it before i switch and then when vista comes out i can buy that and then i will have a disk because i bought it on it's own not with a premade computer.
