Need help and advice building this PC.?

OK I need a gaming PC but cant afford it so thought of building a cheap Pc and upgrading it later.





hers what I want to buy Initially





Intel Dual Core E5300


Intel DG31PR motherboard


Corsair XMS2 DDR2 800MHZ 4GB RAM (DHX)


Seagate 320GB Sata Hard drive


Samsung DVD-RW 22x DL


Nvidia GeForce 9500GT 1GB 128bit


CoolerMaster CM334 Elite casing with 350watt powersupply.





What if I build that PC and later on upgrade the processor to Core 2 Quad Q6600 and graphic card to Nvidia 9800GTX+ and powersupply to 750watts.








My questions:


1) will the Pentium 4 processor work with the rest of the PC





2) Will I be able to play new games on it like Sims3 (not the good games like GTAIV but some good games)





3) ANy more suggestions








AND PLAESE IF U SUGGEST ANYTHING KEEP THE RPICE BELOW $425 for the whole rig.





PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME PLEASENeed help and advice building this PC.?
Your very limited with a $425 price point.





1. NO, a Pentium 4 will not work with that system.


2. Your gaming, particularly with new and upcoming games, will be VERY limited. You could probably get away with some new games on low settings.


3. You will definatly need a bigger power supply. 350w will not be enough even with that system. I would also suggest a batter video card since that effects games the most (it might not matter though due to your budget CPU). I would suggest you look into overclocking for better performance at no cost.
