hi guys, i study computer science at UJ but I don't mind the occational fragging.

I work for nivo ( www.nivo.co.za ) and my boss said sh'll give me a discount after i've made up my mind. Here is what i got so far:

Biostar TP43D2-A7 - Intel P43 + ICH10 - R1038.8
Pentium Dual Core E5200 - R1133.25
corsair value ddr2 667 1GB X 2 - R418.95
Gygabyte superb 460W R442.35
LITEON DH-20A6S: DVD Super All-Write - 295.46
Coolermaster elite RC-334 case - R519.77
Gygabte 8800GT 256MB - 1787

Total - ~R5650

I'm already over my budget but with a discount i should be cool.

Feel free to share your toughts...

Thanx

That superb is only a 390 watt. It's rated at peak, not continuous. Rather the 460Watt cooler master extreme.

If you want to save money a 9600GT gives very close performance for R400 less.
 
The prize on the memory seems a bit high as well, I am sure you should get DDR 2 800 for almost the same prize...
 
Or get from zaps...zeppelin DDR800 2gig at R215

Just installed it for my mate...runs fine if set on auto...cant adjust the timing at all though...but for that price...
 
i will never in my life buy another biostar again - rather go asus or gigabyte, they're not that expensive!
 
My boss adviced me to wait for feb cz shell get new stock...
So ill post a new thread in feb

Thx guys..
 
DDR2 667 is fine with a E5200 as it can oc to 4gig easily with the right cooling and still be in the spec of the ram ie only needs DDR2 600 for 4gig (i just set up a system like that but i used a p5q with DDR2 667 and reached 4 gig easily)
