I started a new config last month.
My needs: internet, office automation, photoshop and pinnacle studio. No games. All under XP.
My current config:
- 2 Strips Kingston memory 512MB PC3200
- 2 HDD Seagate 160GB Sata
- CPU fan is ZALMAN CNPS7000B-AlCu for socket A. I do not know if it's possible to recycle ....
- Video card GeForce FX 5200
- PSU, no name 430W
Should I buy:
- 1GB of RAM or more
- branded psu
- a new CPU fan
- CPU and Motherboard
My choice of material is available in a shop near to my home. They have almost everything at the same price as on the net.
My favorites Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo E7300 seems to be a good value for money. In addition, it seems possible to overclock a little too grown without cooling.
My choice of motherboard? I hesitate a lot. What I need?
On the Catalog of that shop, I spotted some references somewhere not too expensive:
GIGABYTE EP35-DS3L
GIGABYTE EP43-DS3L
GIGABYTE EP45-DS3L
GIGABYTE EP45-DS3R
MSI G31M3 F
MSI P43 Neo-F
MSI P45 Neo-F
MSI P45 Neo3-EN
ASUS P5QL Pro
ASUS P5Q
I do not know which to choose: Are there any models to avoid?
