Please Help Me Build My System

AngelaLD50 · 01-08-2008, 01:12 PM

I am trying to build my own Dell System and I wish to stick with Windows XP. Here is what I have so far. Please advise me if I have the specification listed to have a good computer. Am I missing anything important. I already have Monitor, keyboard/mouse, Cable internet service, and virus protection through Norton

Hi.

What will you be using the computer for? A few people here dont recommend Dells as they use low quality PSUs. If you have the experiance you could probably build one cheaper - With larger quality Specifications.

I am using it for just basic home document use. Working on files from work. Surfing the net. My grands like to play games. I have a DVD profiler downloaded. I watch DVD, copy CDs, my HP camera is downloaded to look at pictures, stuff like that.

Looks good and should meet all your needs. Only thing i suggest is to see if you can change the "Integrated Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 3100" (Onboard Graphics) for something abit higher.
