Im unsure of this build guys

pepsi71ocean · Dec 28, 2008

I would say your Mobo, will be held up by your RAM, it may be OCZ, but its DDR2 800, and the standard is 1066, but 1200(o.C.) on your motherboard.

Im not sure if that mean's anything but i though ide point it out.

And yea ide ditch the ATI card, for a 9800 series, or even a 280 series if you have the cash, though you might want to wait till the 295 series comes out.

wait how are you arguing that against the 4800 series???

last I checked as far as 4800 series goes.

4830 detuned 4850 would beat a 9800GT.
4850 beats 9800GT
4850 = 9800GTX+
4870 beats 9800GTX+
4870 beats GTX 260 one with 192 shaders if I remember correctly
the only thing higher is a GTX 260 with the 216 shaders and GTX 280. which money isn't worth. heck some 4870 1gbs could probably contend with the 280.
And then GTX 295 is about 500 bucks which is overkill vs a 4870x2 which will drop in price. heck 4850x2 is the 320 range...

It's more like.
4830 OCed beats 9800 gt
4850 beats 9800 GT "and" 9800 GTX +
4850 < 9800 GTX + SLI
4870 beats 9800 GTX+, not sured if 9800 GTX+ SLI will do a difference
260 216 > 4870 > 260 192
Who said GTX260 is not worth it?

are you talking about 4850 crossfire vs 9800GTX+ SLI because I could understand that.
Single card wise 4850 should beat 9800GT, GTX, and = the same as GTX+ slightly edging it out I guess.

yea you got me on the 4830 I guess I should have oc'd.

I argue against just 260 with less shaders....sounds awkward but it doesn't make sense. Since it gets beat by the 4870, heck 4850 could breath down it's neck in crossfire but that would contradict the earlier statement I made.

pepsi71ocean · Dec 28, 2008

I was refering to the 4830, not the 4850 or any of the such. And the 9xxx seriers of card IMO are crap compared to the 8xxx series, but that just IMO.

apheX? · Dec 28, 2008

just get a geforce 6600!

Lawl. How about a radeon X300 SE?

Spook · Dec 29, 2008

Yea im gonna overclock the 4830 to 4850 speeds or at least around there i dont have enough money for an 4850 :/ so i should buy a OCZ Gold rather than the Fatal1ty? Lol at the Radeon X300 SE and the Geforce 6600! XD

Spook · Jan 14, 2009

jesus.... i never had good luck...

sorry for reviving this thread but i need Advice (again).... so i followed my dad's advice and stayed with my old power supply its an ULTRA X-CONNECT 500 Watt but i forgot that the my BIOSTAR mobo is 24 pin so i bought an adapter and guess what else i forgot! i forgot that cpu is 8 pin not 4 pin so now im stuck in between buying another adapter which my dad says i should do. but before i jump the gun check the specs of this old piece of junk tell me if its enough to turn on my rig before i have to adapt my brain!!! this website reviews my old junk http://www.bjorn3d.com/read.php?cID=711&pageID=1088 if you need more info on it ill gladly look. Sorry again and Thanks in advance. ~Spook

Spook · Jan 16, 2009

Bump for tonight ^^

Lionheart · Jan 16, 2009

well i would always say that when it comes to PSU if you have to mod it, forget it. I just think that something like your PSU shouldn't be modded to do something it can't do. If your pus goes to hell it will take your computer with it. That's IMO.

LittleLizard · Jan 16, 2009

my recomendation: get the corsair 550w and be happy

Spook · Jan 16, 2009

LOL at the FX5200 i have one in my other rig

. Yea maybe you guys are right the Corsair 550 would be better instead of modding this thing...holy **** it can take my whole computer with it :O yea i'd go with a new power supply lol. ill post back to compare an OCZ and the corsair.
EDIT: here we go.
Corsair 650TX

OCZ GameXStream 700Watt

any other recommendations?

get a ati radeon card most of nvidia cards nowadays are just renamed 8000 series card with old technology compared to ATI Radeon HD 4000 series, get a Radeon HD 4850 or a 4870

Weer · Jan 16, 2009

Why the HECK would anyone still get a Dual-core CPU? And a gamer no less.. what is wrong with the world?

TmdRockz™ · Jan 16, 2009

What about a HD4850 ?

TmdRockz™ · Jan 16, 2009

and what abt P5Q-E

Spook · Jan 16, 2009

i already have the parts..missing PSU

i need a new psu basically because my old 500Watt Ultra cant handle the truth xD. so heres the rig i have so far i have the Intel Core 2 Duo E8400, Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 4830 im gonna try to overclock it, 4GB (2*2) A-DATA at 4-4-4-12 timings :O, the Biostar TP45HP mobo and im gonna reuse my old 320GB hard drive lets see what else..i bought the Tuniq Tower Cooler (its HUGE) and a LG blu-ray Drive.... i need at least 430-500 Watts to power this thing up. i dont know which of the two to pick either the OCZ or the CORSAIR the OCZ has more wattage though..even though wattage isnt important. ~Spook
Thanks in advance.

I agree. Just get a new PSU, Corsair is your best bet

Thrackan · Jan 16, 2009

Corsair seems to be making some of the best quality/price PSU's atm. It's hard to go wrong with buying a 550 or 650 from them.
Personally I got a CoolerMaster SilentPro and I'm happy with it too. But that's one experience versus at least a dozen on TPU with Corsair PSU's.

Spook · Jan 16, 2009

yea unless someone convinces me so i think ill go for the Corsair rather than the OCZ... i mean the OCZ has more wattage yea but the Corsair is Just pure quality

pepsi71ocean · Jan 17, 2009

Make sure you have sufficient amps on the 12v rail. I would say go Corsair, but i have a Silverstone PSU and im happy as hell with it. 62a on the 12v rail, enough power to power any gfx card in existence and in the foreseeable future as well.

Some dual cores are good overclockers..plus they are cheap and I'm sure there are people out there like myself that use them in secondary rigs like the one I'm building for LANs..
