Thread: New shooping list (Blunks fault)

If i wanted a custom built pc that would be good what components do i need?

Name everything i need like
motherboard GPu etc.

also try to name the brand the i should get/what type

well for Graphics cards and motherboards ive always trusted Asus for both they havent let me down yet
and im a bit of an AMD fan boy but everyones to there own
whats your price range?

nothing really over €1200
i would prefere if i could keep it under €1000

CPU - Quad core
Motherboard - EVGA or Asus. I prefer EVGA to go with an EVGA vid card. See my notes below.
Vid - EVGA or BFG.
Ram - 3gb min for 32 bit OS, 4+ for 64 bit.
Sound - use onboard. Newer mobos have good sound built in.
Network - Use onboard.
PSU - If you want to have upgradeability in future, get a decent 750+ PSU for SLI. If not, a 500, 550 is enough.
Hard drive - Sata, and decent size. I run with a 1tb now, and will buy another 1 tb in the future.
CPU cooler - get a decent one. Not stock. Zalman is a good brand, Coolermaster as well.

The reason I like EVGA boards and vid cards is because they match. EVGA designs both to work well with each other so you will never have a problem with those and they are optmized to run together.

ty is that EVERYTHING i need?

Would i be able to put it together or would i have to get someone?

Oh and a case. Sorry forgot about a case.

Yea, you can put it together if you have the Operating system. The instructions they send with the components are very clear on how to build them.

If you want me to price it out for you, I will.

lol i need all the help i need
so yes do price it
OS is windows vista?

Ok here we go. I usually advise against a bundle due to the fact that the components may be subpar sometimes, but this one is solid.

Option 1:

EVGA 790i Ultra SLI Barebones Kit includes the following:
- EVGA nForce 790i Ultra SLI motherboard
- Intel Core 2 Quad Q6700 2.6ghz CPU
- Ultra m923 Full Tower Case - Very nice case!
- 8gb of PC10600 1333mhz ram from OCZ. Good deal there.
- Hitachi 1TB 7k rpm drive. I have never had a problem with Hitachi.
- XFX GeForce 9800 GT vid card. While not a 200 series card, will still scream for vid games.
- Ultra 650 watt power supply.

All this for 610 Euro. Not a bad deal considering the price. The mobo is SLI so you could add a second 9800GT for SLI and improve gaming performance. A huge upgrade for you from your current.

Option 2:
- Intel Core 2 Quad 6700 - 145 Euro
- EVGA 790i - 145 Euro
- EVGA GTS 250 - 1gb ram. Solid card for money conscious people. 106 Euro

Then build up from there. Honestly, I think the bundle is a steal to be honest and you can save some cash for some other upgrades if you like.

looks nice im getting that

what do you think of this though http://img30.imageshack.us/img30/605/mickeypc.jpg

The core2 duo and ram are too slow and would be upgraded soon. I like the 285 in there, but not from Asus.

Like i said, I usually advise against a bundle, but this one is a pretty sweet deal from tigerdirect.com and you can always upgrade by adding another 9800GT and running in SLI.

I have 2 OCd 280's in SLI right now and not a single drop in fps in any game I play. It took a day to get used to in CoD4 because I added a larger widescreen monitor as well with a different reso. I run 1600x1080 or whatever that reso is for widescreen and it is amazing.
