Amd system

1. with sapphire raedon 9700pro gfx card
2. normal user, not going to overclock anything.
3. NOT BUYING ANY MONITOR , SOUNDCARD , ROMS, FLOPPYS ONLY.
4. Needed a modem router ( 2 in 1 ) 2 port. ( Dont know anything about it, hope someone is using it will be able to intro me a good one not more then $150.)
5. 120gb 7200,8mb westerndigital hdd
6. 512 ram.
7. casing with a 350watt psu (or should it be in a higher watt for amd?)
8. normal logitech mouse and keyboard.

*Hope the whole thing to be around. $1.6k*

**most impt to get less conflict problems when setting up, going to install win2k pro for OS.**

So over all i just need a cpu,mobo,hdd,gfx,casing,modemrouter and normal accessories pls tell me the price for it and if possible state which shop to buy for a better price at SimLimSquare.

Thanks alot.

    Abit NF7-S Motherboard ~$112
    AMD 2500+ Barton - $90
    Western Digital Special Edition Hard Drive - Choose the size
    ATI Radeon 9700 or 9800 if you have the money.
    Chieftec Case >$100
    Router assuming Cable/DSL - Netgear
    Mouse - M$ IntellaEye Optical
    Onboard Sound

    Newegg.com is a great choice for overall cheap prices.

    I got mine for $80, with an Antec 400W SmartPower PSU.

    Or did you mean "Chieftec Case <$100"?

    Not including monitor that is a good chunk of chage to work with.

    Abit NF7-S mother board $112
    AMD ATHLON XP 3000 "Barton" 400MHz FSB $261
    CORSAIR MEMORY XMS3500C2Platinum (Twin Pack) 512MB(2 x 256MB) $152
    Western Digital 120GB SATA WD1200JD 7,200 RPM 8MB Hard Drive $120
    SAPPHIRE OEM RADEON 9800 PRO 128MB DVI/TV 8X AGP BULK $298 (much better than 9700 Pro)
    Linksys BEFSX41 Broadband EtherFast Cable/DSL Firewall Router with 4-Port Switch/VPN $60

    Comes to $1,003 and still leaves you $600 for a modem, floppy and case/PSU (Go with at least 400W).

    Now if you don't plan to overclock, this is a true killer system and it will also allow you to overclock like a madman if you wanted as it is all very capable of doing so very stabily.:thumbsup:

    Oh, you're in Singapore. Eek. That makes things pretty much impossible for us to suggest.

    Well try this and see if it works:

    Abit NF7-S mother board $112
    AMD ATHLON XP 2500 "Barton" 333MHz FSB
    CORSAIR MEMORY XMS3200C2 (Twin Pack) 512MB(2 x 256MB)
    Western Digital 120GB WD1200JB 7,200 RPM 8MB Hard ATA Hard Drive
    SAPPHIRE OEM RADEON 9700 PRO 128MB DVI/TV 8X AGP BULK

    Then see if this total leaves enough for a floppy, case, router and modem.
