Need a new PC

Bow · Oct 21, 2009

Whats going on everyone, I have not been around for a while, nasty divorce :banghead:

and I moved home to Washington state

. I gave my rig to the xwife :cry:

( dont ask ) so I need to build a new one. I have not had a lot of time to look at whats hot. So this is what I am looking for it to do, games, music, movies. I would like to keep cost around $800.00 or less, but be able to upgrade. Air cooling this time. I need the entire box. So what do you think?

Thanks

u prefer intel amd ati nvidia.currently Ati 5850($270)very nice card and intel i5($200) r new and fast, but Ati 5770($160) and Amd Phenom2 945 95w($165)would be a likely choice for the budget

Sounds like a AMD build here for under 800$

Bow · Oct 21, 2009

AMD works for me I am really not "brand Loyal" what ever gets the job done is fine.

u might want a sound card too, unless motherboad sound is good enouph

"I have not had a lot of time to look at whats hot." - I think that now is OK if you do :toast:

I have the AMD 940 Black Edition and its a great CPU! or if you can squeeze it in your budget get a 965

Here's my build for you man. This rig will be crossfire ready, so when one 5770 no longer cuts it, adding another will be completely hassle-free. All great quality stuff here, and it'll have a cool red/black theme going on.

Phenom II x4 955 - $180
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103674

GIGABYTE GA-MA790X-UD4P - $110
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128387

CM Storm Scout - $90
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...9196&cm_re=storm_scout-_-11-119-196-_-Product
Great case, I have it's brother.

G.Skill Ripjaws 4GB (2x 2GB) DDR3 1600MHz - $86
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...&cm_re=g.skill_ripjaws-_-20-231-277-_-Product

HIS 5770 1GB & Corsair TX750W combo - $240
http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.275104
The 5770 will be great for what you do, and even better if you ever go crossfire. The TX750W is a monster, incredible price.

Sony Optiarc 24x DVD Burner - $32
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...030&cm_re=sony_optiarc-_-27-118-030-_-Product

WD 640AALS - $75
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...6319&cm_re=640gb_black-_-22-136-319-_-Product
Great drive, I have 2 myself, very fast.

All that adds up to $801.56 shipped.

I'm fairly certain the DDR3 will work with that mobo, I know it says "DDR2 1333 OC" as the standard but I looked it up and someone said they were using 4GB of Corsair DDR3 on it without any problems, so yeah. I would have put in 4GB DDR2, but it's even more expensive than the DDR3 now. If it won't work, then I guess try to pick up some ram on the forums.

The 940 would work, but you can get the newer and faster 955 for only $10 more. With the 965, you're paying $35 more for .2GHz. If you're just dying for that tiny increase you could just OC up using the stock heatsink, but I doubt you'd notice a bit of improvement, no need on earth to spend that much more for such a small increase.

Thanks everyone for the info and to PANTHERX12, and SOYLENT JOE for the shopping lists :toast:

. They will give me some things to think about. AMD really looks like the way to go. Keep the ideas comming.

Thanks

soylent joe picked a 5770 which is the 5750 big brother in the 57xx.

The coolermaster 690 is a good case to choose.

Bow · Nov 9, 2009

I have it down to 2 choices:

or

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?item=N82E16811146047

This is what I am thinking so far:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?item=N82E16817341018
