Hi
I hope this is the right place to post this.
I am about to buy a new computer but to put it fairly I don't know a hole lot about hardware. I would really appreciate some insight.
Ill post two examples.
1.less expensive money wise
Intel Pentium Dual Core 3.0GHz 4MB S-775
Biostar PT890775 S-775
2GB DDR2 PC4200 533MHz 1. Part (2x1GB)
320MB Inno3D 8800GTS GDDR3 PCI-E
320GB Maxtor 7200rpm SATA2
Codegen M401 CA 400W
Standard Cooler
19 LG 1919S-SF 1400:1 TFT (5ms)
16x Pioneer DVD/RW Dual Layer
SMC Barricade Router 4 ports
2.more expensive money wise
Intel Pentium Dual Core 3.4GHz 4MB S-775
Asrock Conroe945G-DVI(Onboard VGA) S-775
2GB DDR2 PC4200 533MHz 1. Part (2x1GB)
320MB BFG GeF 8800GTS GDDR3 PCI-E
320GB Maxtor 7200rpm SATA2
Codegen M401 CA 400W
Cabinet Cooler 19dB 80mm Arctic Cooling
Arctic Cooling Alpine 7 S-775
Silent Upgrade Step 1 25dB
19 LG 1953TR-SF 2000:1 TFT (2ms)
18x Samsung DVD/RW DL(Light Scribe)
SMC Barricade Router 4 ports
This seems to be the hardware I can afford.
-Any better way then Pentium to go right now?
-Motherboard?
-GFX, are to lesser cards combined better then one superior? All I know is I want nvidia.
-Silent kit/Cooler really needed?
-Screens?
-A good cheep router that wont crash on me when put under a bit of stress?
Would any of these be a good buy or should I be looking at something else all together?
Should I expect any trouble running linux with any of this hardware?
Any comments or suggestions are very welcome. Thanks
