    I'm building a new PC. Spec and prices below. Any comments suggestions ? Any suggestions on motherboards would be good and processors (the age old argument Athlon vrs P4)

    Items I've made my mind up on:
    Hard drive - 120GB 7200rpm Maxtor €175
    256MB PC2700 DDRAM = €78 or
    512MB PC2700 DDRAM = €152
    Creative GEForce 3 Ti200 = €109.80

    Items I'm not sure about:

    MSI KT4 ULTRA mainboard + AMD Athlon XP2200+ 1.8 GHz 266 MHz + Cooler Master CPU = €633.74

    ABIT SA7 + Intel P4 2GHZ + 256MB 2700 DDR RAM = €365

    Intel Pentium 4 1.8 (boxed) + MSI 645E MAX2-L Mainboard + DDR-DIMM PC2700 256MB = €373

    Thanks in advance.

    Why the GF3?
    Wait for a Graphics Card special on komplett, there's normally about 1 every 3 or 4 weeks.

    I thought the Ti200 titanium card was supposed to be sh*t hot ? What else would you recommend ?

    Get a GF4 Ti4x00 minimu, a Ti4600 deluxe if you can, or wait till february 2003 when the GeForceFX starts shipping and the GF4 and Radeon9700 prices drop
