What should I buy?
So I am new in the world of retro computing. I recently thought of making a retro pc build. For that build I figured out two combinations:
Combination 1:
CPU: Intel Pentium 4 3.0GHz / Socket 478
RAM: 2GB of DDR1 (2x1GB)
HDD: 1x IDE 80GB + 1x IDE 320GB
2x DVD burner/reader
GPU: ATI Radeon 9550 | 256MB
Floppy Drive
PSU 450W
WiFi Card
Combination 2:
CPU: Intel Pentium 4 3.0GHz / Socket 775 (but also I was thinking of Q6600 and E8400 and also QX9650)
RAM: 4GB of DDR2 (4x1GB)
HDD: 1x SATA 80GB, 1x SATA 320GB
2x DVD Burner/Reader
GPU: GTX 560Ti
Floppy Drive
PSU around 600W
WiFi Card, Sound Card and USB Card
Same case I would use for both but I am thinking of which one. Also I'll be using 19" ViewSonic LED monitor
