To build or what to build lol

[KarmaKiller]

the reason that everyone goes with a seperate power supply then what they get with the case is because generally the psu that comes with cases are generic and normally not that good. When I built my new machine i skimped on the PSU, and now i'm paying for it. Got a new video card and my PSU can't give it the power it wants.So I'm currently in the phase of getting a new one.
I know now that a quality PSU is the way to go, not the cheapies.

You may want to start a new thread if you are interested in buying a new pc (just make sure to tell us about everything you want to use it for, price limit, etc)...

This one is somewhat old.

Here is an asus anthlon 64 board for around 60 bucks at the tiger.

I'm not an anthlon fan.
I built two system this week with this board.
It seems to perform very well
It handles a very broad range of processors in the D catagory
It has duel video card capability and handles up to 16 gig in memory.
but it is not an Asus.......Its an ECS......for around $74
