Hi all,
I havent bought any hardware in a while now, and my work almost consumes my free time almost entirerly. So ask you, oh hardware guru's, to help me out.
I need to build a new pc, for my girlfriend's sister. It's not meant to be the most powerfull toy in the binary world, but it has to run smoothly.
I will definetly (how do you spell that?) go with an AMD Athlon processor, round 1,5 GHz, but I need you guys to choose a good, reliable motherboard, with at least 4-5 PCI slots and 1 ISA slot.
Also I need help with the choice of a Video Card. My girl's sister is 15 years old, and she likes to play games, but only once in a while. (You know girls... ) I was thinking about a GeForce 3 MX?
So please post suggestions about the motherboard, video card and a good soundcard (no 5.1, no need for that)
The all-in price should rate between €600 and €800. (mobo, sound, video, ram, proc, cooler, case, keyboard, mouse)
1€ = USD 0.9725
1€ = £ 0.6412
Thnx in advance.
