If you are into overclocking, go for a athlon 64 system they are brilliant overclockers, or and opteron 144 (socket939) they overclock to 2.6ghz on air and more on water cooling and they are only €145 and get some good dual channel memory OCZ or Corsair, and as for graphics cards i would go nvidia for SLI as you can upgrade for small money and nearly double the graphics power.
Look at this, its a athlon 64 3000 overclocked with pc3200 dual channel ram (OCZ platinium rev 2)
as you can see it beats a Pentium 4 extreme edition 840, which is €1,020, and that AMD CPU is only €1400 -

Ok, Opterons have san diego cores, that is the same core as the fx 57, which is the mother of all processers, They are just as good as P4 for encoding and better for you as you want to game also, so i am going to price an amd system because you get more for less money. If you are an intel fanboy i reccommend a
good dose of forums.amd.com very friendly people and great craic:D
Does that 670 include case,fans, psu, cd/dvd drive/ hard drive/....
Because 670 is a bit tight to even make a budget system it is ok if it is just the main components
CPU/MOBO.RAM/G CARD
Because 670 is a bit tight to even make a budget system
Why not spend thge 670 now and get a nice g card for christmas ?, or get your parents to get you some parts and then spend the money you have now on other parts0 -
If it were my money:
(from komplett)
AMD Opteron 144, 1.8GHz, Socket 939, 1MB, BOXED w/fan
EPoX EP-9NPA7I, nForce4-4x, Socket-939 ATX, 4xS-ATA, LAN, Sound, PCI-Ex16
Samsung SpinPoint P120S 200GB SATA2 8MB 7200RPM NCQ
TwinMOS PC3200 DDR-DIMM 512MB CL2.5 Memory184-P (for DDR-PC400MHz)
NEC DVD recorder ND-3550 IDE White OEM DVD+R/+RW/DVD-R/-RW (Dual layer)
AKASA Powersupply ATX/EPS 12V 400W 120mm Fan, SATA, 24/20pin
Club3D Radeon X800RX 256MB GDDR3 PCI-Express, Dual-DVI-I, Tv-Out, Retail
Total: €702.51 + €10 postage
Bit over budget, but I dont think you can beat that spec for that price
You didnt mention a case, so I assume you have one already.
That opteron is equivalent to a 3.4ghz P4 (ish) and if you overclock it, it'll be much much quicker. It'll be fine for encoding DVDs.
The Samsung drives are better than Maxtors.
1gb of decent memory.
The Akasa power supply is excellent quality.
That X800 is a good value card with good speed ram.0 -
