Hello everyone, this is actually my first post here in the forum, I just signed up.
As the title says, I want to make a pentium 4 pc, a top of the line for the windows XP era, like the year 2003.
I thought about doing this like 4 months ago, at the time a bought some parts thinking about doing it, but then some other things appear and I had to cancel it, but now I would really like to finish it.
The parts I have right now are:
An Asus P4P800E-deluxe
A Pentium 4 3.0ghz HT (I have it running on 3.4ghz no problem)
2 sticks of 512mb ddr400 ram (I think one is fried, doesnt always work and memtest86+ detecs errors using that stick)
A zalman 2 ball bearing cooler
A 300W Giler power supply from an athlon xp system I had.
A 80gb and a 120gb Seagate barracuda 7200rpm Hard drives
a creative audigy audio card
A power color ati radeon 9200se 128mb video card (from that same athlon xp system, very low end card from what I researched)
And a ATX case (again from the athlon xp system)
So for what I understand the things I have to get are:
1st a better psu
2nd a better video card
3rd another 512mb ram stick since one of mine is fried
4th possibly a better looking case (also this one doesnt have front panel usb)
Alright, so what do you guys think?
Thanks everyone![Smile :) :)](https://tpucdn.com/forums/data/assets/smilies/smile-v1.gif)
