Hello!
I've been a lurker for a bit, and I've been ready to jump in on my first build. Since this is my first go-around, I appreciate any insights/tips into how I can make this a great build.
Starting with the goal of the build: To play 1996-2000 era 3D games at high quality, no interest in playing DOS games. Cost is not a concern.
I want to keep the build somewhat period appropriate, 1999/2000 (No modern parts such as SSD/SATA). After doing a bunch of research, this is the build I've been thinking of:
Motherboard: This is where I face most of my difficulty, I'm not sure which would be best? (CUSL2-C?, D815EEA2?, Something else?)
Processor: Tualatin P3 1.4Ghz
Graphics: Voodoo 5
Hard Drive: Random IDE 80GB
Floppy: Gotek floppy emulator drive
RAM: 512MB single stick
Sound:Diamond Monster Sound MX300
PSU: Enermax EG465AX-VE 460W (This looks to be sufficient? Any other recommendation?)
OS: Windows 98SE
Thank you all for any feedback, glad to be apart of this community! 😀
