Build best PC under a budget

AGP, you can't afford pci-e.

The PCI mobo in based athlon 64 in that site comes out cheaper than the AGP....lolz?

If it wasnt for financial issues, which would you recommend, AGP8X or PCI-E? (they ont have the gf 5900 se =( )

Probably PCI Express...but you'd also need to buy a 939 processor with it, and it will be too expensive.

Agreed. With a 939 you are looking at around 800 bucks for a pc.

Mantra: My cost of the machine was 550. with an extra 40 I could get a nice thermal take case =[ And I have never had one of those cases catch fire.

One more thing. Stay away from 5900s especially the SE edition. They are horrible videocards. a 5600 can out perform one. The 5900s are the most bug infested cards I have ever seen.

I guess i might go with either the Radeon 9600 XT or Geforce 6200 turbocache


Either way im gettign a 939 mobo instead of 754, I heard that jAMD is not gonna update on 754 anymore so the next chipsets will be on 939

Ok. Well then you wont be going with a 9600 xt. I would say go for the 6600 Ultra. 120 bucks. And its pcie 16x. Ill see if I can build you a system in a few hours. I expect mantra will also.

Yes I opted for the 6600 128MB PCI-E , the system is gonna come out at around $630 with free shipping , now i gotta save $300 more
