Hello, at first i want to apologize for my bad english. The system i want to build should replace an old system, builded in '94... Im looking for an checkup if the config is working together. I got testreports from some parts, and changed some already. But before i spend 500€ for some expensive trash i wanted to ask some professionals about this. Budget: 500€. Actual Configuration (~350€): CPU - Intel® Celeron® Processor G540 ( details ) RAM - 2 x Kingston ValueRAM DIMM 2 GB DDR3-1066 ( details ) MBoard - ASRock B75 Pro3-M ( details ) PowerSupply - SilverStone ST50F-P ( details ) HDD - Western Digital WD3200AAKX 320 GB ( details ) ROM - ASUS DRW-24B5ST ( details ) CPU Freezer - Scythe Samurai ZZ Rev.B ( details ) Case - Aerocool Qs-200 Advance ( details ) Add Freezer - Aerocool Shark Fan 12cm Black Edition ( details ) Usage: Office. No Browsing, no high end video/sound streaming, no gaming but solitär f.e.,... So thanks in advance for your time here in my thread! I hope the configuration looks not as worse as i think Greez
It doesn't look that bad, except I would not use a Asrock Motherboard, Go with a Gigabyte or Asus or MSI.... Asrock motherboards are made cheap and blow real easy..Also try and find a board that has more ram/ memory at least 8 gigs...
Ok, i selected two different boards, 1 - MSI H61M-P20 (G3) ( details ) 2 - GIGABYTE GA-H61M-S2PV ( details ) I'd take the MSI board, what do you think? And i got a different question: The user of the new pc wants to use diskettes (3,5"). Its pretty hard to find something which matches to any new boards, so i decided this external drive: click // details Does anyone got experiences with this drives? TIA again
Those are Both good Motherboards, I just prefer the Gigabyte Motherboards.... I never had any problems with them.. A floppy drive, WHY ???? They are out of Date, You should look into Thumb drive's/USB drive... they are much easier the use and to learn.. NO burning, just copy and paste..
I know that the drives are outdated, but the person for which ive build this config still uses them. Just have a look in the topic, part 'usage'. The typical usage of the user is office work, and creating greeting cards with cliparts - nvm.... Im just caring about the hardware & system. Thanks a lot for your support, i bought the parts with the gigabyte board. Thread can be closed.
