My Cousin Is Building A Comp

[DemonStar55]

well my cousin and me are going to build him a comp and I was just wondering what to get... he wants it for gaming and on coming games so it needs to be some what good

he wants to get this chassis/case whatever you call it: http://store.yahoo.com/directron/cf20291bk.html

I was just wondering if you had any recomendations for some compnents and whats some good online stores that are in the US??

If you can get windows xp pro for the same price as win2k, get xp. A fully optimised xp pro install slightly edges out a fully optimised win2k install.

Some of those OEM stores are a scam. Not saying they all are, just be careful.

Also, that case looks OK, just get a good power supply. I mean good brandname, wattage doesnt mean jack shit. 300w Antec is good.

I want this one.

I get my OSes from a local company in where I live, Australia, so it wouldn't be much use to you. Best to ask around.

Well thats still illegal, you may as well just pirate winxp.

Get the student edition, no activation required.

I have this computer (it even includes finty's processor B) ) and it's a rock solid machine. It only crashed to the point that I had to reboot once, and that was when I was running a buttload of stuff. The total cost was $570, and it's the best computer I've ever used

Also, I must second the Newegg post. They are very fast, reliable, and cheap. They even gave me a free hat with my motherboard and a shirt with my processor, and the choice for a few other things

Spongue Bue - Thats kind of the same spec I'm aiming to build my computer to, but I'm not starting until next summer, so I'll probably change.
