Hey guys, I was here about a year ago for help building my own computer, and everybody was really helpful, so I thought I'd return for some advice in building my younger bro's computer. I mostly need confirmation about processors/ram/motherboard. He insists on using a pentium, even though I've told him it's much more cost effective to do otherwise. Anyhow, here's a tentative list. Looking for advice on compatability and/or better parts in the same price range at each spot. Thanks in advance. =D
Edit: Okay, listed all the actual products here rather than just in the links for easier viewing. Didn't mean to be inconsiderate, I'm just in a hurry because I have work in 20 minutes. =p Hope that helps.
