OMG my first custom PC complete!

By "Complete" I mean It is good enough to run without any problems.
It is like my old computer but significantly better. I will add in more later like more memory (I've depleted all my money so I'll have to wait).

Remember, I had a limited budget so I went for cheap parts while making sure they didn't suck.

AMD Athlon 64 Processor
3200+
2.01 GHz, 512 MB RAM
200 GB Maxtor SATA Hard Drive

The reason I even built this is because Oblivion did not work on my old computer, so being an idiot, I bought an NVidia e-GeForce 7300 GT graphics card with PCI-E.
My old computer did not support PCI-E lol. I forgot to return it and decided, ah what the heck I'll just build a new computer to use it in.

In total, this cost me around or under 600$.

Oh and the only downside is that this is in my brother's room since my room already had my old computer

So uh, discuss and if you have built your own computer before feel free to discuss as well.

I've always wanted to build my own computer but I don't know enough to be able to build a good one.

I had the same problem as you, but opposite

You've never wanted to build your own computer, but you had too much knowledge?

i mean with the video card

I built 6 computers last week and installed 2 copys of Vista($14 for 1 CD and 2 serial keys)... slow week..

Not a bad PC for Under $600, I'm assuming you already had a Moniter and Case?

haha maxtor

Bought a case for $99 actually
and yeah I had an old gateway 2000 monitor(friend gave me one) , but it was too dark and small so I used the one from my old computer.

But my bro's using the new computer right now so I'm using the old computer with the crappy monitor right now D:
