Dunno much about pentiums or mobos for pentiums so will leave that to someone else.

The HDD you chose is slow.  You want 7200rpm and an 8mb cache not 2mb

The graphics card you chose is not very good either.  Yes its cheap but it doesnt even fully support FS9



Take a look at this chart.  It would be off the bottom of this list!  Take your choice from one of these 

Ram never heard of that make and I dunno how fussy Pentium mobos are on ram so cant comment.

Oh dear! this is the best miss-matched set of components I've seen since I did something similar a few years back!  

You've got a very good 2.8ghz p4 processor, certainly, but, you want to pair it to a Geforce 4 MX(!) along with a Creative SB 16 card..... Oh dear.... Your wasting money here!

I'm on broadband,but, in the U.K. I'm getting a terrible connection to this site, but I'll keep at it and construct a system for you!

I need to know your budget! $500? $1500? give me a clue or you'll get a $4000 beast!  

In answer to your question about conflict, yes, it all conflicts, in fact, it would'nt assemble into a working PC!

Your site is terrible, I'm using www.overclockers.co.uk for my reference, just order the same kit locally... (Overclockers do mail order )

Just a quick example of a system that'll match. 

Video Card:

BFG 6800 128mb AGP                              $270

or

Radeon 9800 pro 128mb                     $133
----------------------------------------------------------

CPU:

AMD 64bit socket 754, 3200+                   $179

or

AMD socket A , 3200+                                $119
-----------------------------------------------------------

Chipset (mainboard):

EP-8KDA3J nForce3-250GB Socket 754      $73
(I researched this board)

or

nForce2 Ultra 400 mainboard  from $45
----------------------------------------------------------

RAM:

Kingston Value Ram 512MB 400MHz PC3200 DDR NonECC CL2.5 Dimm Memory

x 2                                                    $160
-----------------------------------------------------------

Hard disk 80gb                                  $50

------------------------------------------------------------

Now if you use the cheapest of those components it adds up to $510 and that is with NO case/psu, soundcard, (many nforce2 boards have decent onboard sound), keyboard, mouse, speakers, joystick, headset, monitor, modem, cdrom drives or anything other than the bare components.

So, do you still want a fancy case or should I send you to the hardware store to get some Plywood?

The above prices were taken from pricewatch.com and you should expect to pay 20% more in total by the time you get it ordered from a decent supplier and delivered.

Are you sure you aren't still dreaming?

Can someone beat this?

I've looked to better Congo's quoted system and given up!

Seriously though, forget the case, or its looks, its whats displayed on your monitor thats important.

Oh and your listed case is @350 watt, I'd advise you go for 400 as a minimum. 

$920 ....?   

I love tiger direct, great shop.


any way here is the list of ALL parts, tell me if any are  missing


230.00 Radeon 9800 pro
