If you plan to overclock and AMD based then
1) which processor> AMD AM2 X2 3600+ 1.9Ghz Brisbane- 3k max
2) motherboard > Jetway 692GDG 3K or lower or Asus M2N-MX- 3k odd
3) hard disk capacity> 160GB Hitachi SataII- 2.2k or lower and the bare min imho
4) cd / dvd burner (for good music / movies)> LiteOn 20A1P/S or Sony AWG170S
5) how much ram- Kingston 2x1GB DDR2 667- 3.7k odd
6) speed< ???????????????????
7) whether to go for bluetooth connectivity- a usb bluetooth dongle for 300 bucks and upwards should do the job
8) what all would i need like USB, firewire etc.- mobos thes days have 8-10 USB ports, Firewire if u strictly need FW- USB 2.0 is quite fast
9) graphics card for Dvi output- both mobos above have built in onboard gfx for mild low level gaming
10) any further suggestions> get a good psu- a cheap but effective powersafe 500W is the bare minimum imho |
