in that order. Ascent won't build it for you though.
Skip the parts shown above, ASUS is the better motherboard - or use Gigabyte. Same with Graphics card brands.

Two graphics cards isn't worth the cost, stick with the better of the ones you looked at.

The thing about computer lounge. Is I found it so much more expensive. And yeah, I know about Ascent won't put it together, but I thought it'd be good experience if I put one together myself. So then when I go to update it at a later date, I won't have to take it into a shop.

804260 2009-08-29 05:16:00 Ok. After looking through Ascent again, I changed the Video Card to Gigabyte, the Mother board to Asus, and the Memory to 4g DDR3.


Anyway, This is what I'll order.

-Intel Core 2 Quad Q8200 2.33 GHz, 1333MHz FSB, Socket 775, Retail pack with fan, Low Power

-Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 ST3500418AS Hard Disk Drive, 500GB, 7200rpm, 16MB Cache, SATA-2

-Gigabyte GV-N26OC-896I Video Card, GeForce GTX 260, 896MB, DDR3, PCIe-16, DVI, SLI ready, HDMI (Yes, 260, but it will do for now, and I'll upgrade next year to the newer one, after I get some more cash, but 260 atm, will be able to handle most things I through at it)

-ST Lab M-114 Sound card, 4.0, PCI

-ViewSonic VX1940w Monitor, 19" LCD, 1680x1050, DVI, Black
