I disagree with Billy. Those components you chose look just fine. Here's a tip-when you look for computer parts NEVER judge by age alone. A component that may be outdated may be just the thing you need and nothing more.  :sunglasses:
My Compaq PC (which I bought in late 2005), has a single core Athlon 64 3500+, so the processor Matt was thinking about getting is probably not that outdated.

I'm a cat person...  :whistling: :)
Same here. :P
So am I. I was never that crazy about dogs. One of the biggest reason is that they smell up the house a lot more than cats. I have a cat who is pretty old (at least my age, 16).

Matt, you buy computers the way I do...in parts from TigerDirect.  I've been doing that for years.  If it's on sale, it matches :P

LOL, I've been doing it since before they sold parts on the internet. That's one reason why I (unlike alot of you probably) really like the little mom-and-pop type computer shops. Most of you guys are from the internet age, and have probably never gone into a computer shop more than a time or two, if ever.

Yea, I was mostly just contrasting it to folks who just buy more expensive name brand pre-built PCs (Dell, Gateway, Compaq, etc).

Generic all the way!  :worship:

Without a doubt! I've never owned any name brand computer, but in all the years of repairing PC's I've worked on many, and every time I've come away hoping to NEVER have to work on one again. Especially Compaq's and HP's. Those are just nightmares to work on.
