is this PC worth $350?

[juiceddreadlocks]

okay I've got $566 for this deal via newegg. I had to make some assumptions about the processor because I couldnt find the exact one listed. Could someone actually look it up for me? I couldnt figure otu which one of these it was:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116213 Could it just be an overclocked version of this processor?

this thing should work real well with my 256mb $60 video card and 15'' CRT monitor from 1999, I wish I could fucking sleep right now, just stoked about getting a working computer up and running again. I've got licenses (legal ones) for both the client and server versions of IpSwitchFTPpro I could get set up in one day to get this study transfer working.

Fuck this is awesome.

$350 for the mobo and processor isnt worth it

Pentium D's are crap too

you forgot the 1GB RAM, 200GB disk, 16X dvd burner, and XP Pro. That is a steal. A new PC for that price will come with a Celeron/Sempron, 512MB RAM, XP Home and a cd burner at best.

 

[juiceddreadlocks]

what's wrong with Pentium D processors? Dial Tone, thanks for the help. I'm going to try to pick this up tomorrow.

Let me lay some things out for you:

Memory:
Non-overclocking:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231098
overclocking:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820220144
or
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231114

Motherboards:
here's where it really matters if you plan on overclocking...its so easy its almost not worth not overclocking...

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131070
or
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131028
or
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131025
or
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813138039
(Ibought this last one open box for 51.99)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813138037R

Motherboard selection starts getting pretty indepth... SLI and overclocking in your future? Which chipset will work best with your components? etc

Processor:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115013
or
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115005
those will easily overclock nearly to their 800$ counterparts

Case:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119047
Best lowest price case out there - doesnt feel cheap and wont cut you up.

Powersupply:
this is just an example, 500watts will be plenty for your build if youdont go SLI etc

Video Card:
Again, depends what you want to do, read this article:

ah yeah, didnt see that

yeah that whole thing is a good deal then

Pentium D's arent "crap" they just arent as good as the new intel line Core 2 Duos.
