Thanks for your wellcome <-- kind weird to read it lol

I was building since Im in college about 3 years ago. My friends sometimes ask me fo that, and they like it. My speciality in VGA, I love to see nice and smooth graphic in games. Mostly Ive been build for internet cafe ($300-$400), much budget gamers ($400-$600) and some better budget gamers ($700-$900).

BTW, I have fill my system spec, The Old Friend hehehe... Somehow I got wrong in my spec, Im still using P35 when X48 have come out. Maybe thats the other reason, so I can help people choose better for themselves.

Welcome to TPU!!!

Don't think you'll find many clients on this site though, as the large majority already know how to build a system. Hope you can find some people who need a rig though!!

welcome

Chicken Patty · Oct 30, 2010, 07:56 AM

Welcome dude, really appreciate your offer on the help man, sure tons of people can use your help/knowledge.

n-ster · Oct 30, 2010, 08:16 AM

Welcome to TPU!

If many people start PMing you, feel free to forward some my way

or if you aren't sure about a build you can do the same! I love helping people out, especially if it is choosing what to build for a new build.

While this forum section is mostly dedicated to this kind of thing (building PCs, on a budget with special needs), the most popular builds could be posted here to give others a good idea already

If you don't mind me asking, what state are you from?

Anyways GL with this thread, and remember we are all here to help, so posting here instead of PMs, or PM & posting here might be the best idea! Perhaps we could make a small team who would be willing to help daily? I would volunteer for sure! We could also make a Buyer's guide and sticky that

so many ideas lol. I just feel like this thread has good potential

Bo$$ · Oct 30, 2010, 08:40 AM

welcome to the forum mate, as you can see we a very close and elite communty, you will fit in great

DTAT · Oct 31, 2010, 04:32 AM

Dear genta3d, i gonna build 2 pc. (1) will run MSOffice, Autocad,... and (2) will run 3dsmax. The problem i'm having is my budget is quite low ( about 800$-900$ for 2 pc ) and i've never used 3ds before

. Can you help me out ? I'm thinking about the new amd processor x6 1055T

. But i dont know which mobo, memory, vga, hdd, psu i should buy. I plan to invest my money for a good mobo and cpu for (2) in order to upgrade afterwards.

P/s: Will 1055T + hd5830 cause bottleneck in games ?

Thanks first

3Ds is one hungry bastard. You will be needing as much processing power as you can get for that. Lots of ram too. And a cheapo graphics card will do fine. I think you budget needs to be slightly higher at about $1000 to be able to meet your "maximum efficiency per dollar" but I could be wrong. How about starting a new thread with the title "help build 2 pc 3dsmax and autocad"? That way, its easier to spot people who uses 3ds

At descent CPU and about 6-8GBs of RAM at a minimum. Im just about to make my own dedicated build for 3DS Max, it is very hungry indeed. But it does make good use of the hyperthreading on the Intel CPUs, specifically the i7s. Good luck too btw!

copenhagen69 · Oct 31, 2010, 09:49 PM

If many people start PMing you, feel free to forward some my way or if you aren't sure about a build you can do the same! I love helping people out, especially if it is choosing what to build for a new build. While this forum section is mostly dedicated to this kind of thing (building PCs, on a budget with special needs), the most popular builds could be posted here to give others a good idea already If you don't mind me asking, what state are you from? Anyways GL with this thread, and remember we are all here to help, so posting here instead of PMs, or PM & posting here might be the best idea! Perhaps we could make a small team who would be willing to help daily? I would volunteer for sure! We could also make a Buyer's guide and sticky that so many ideas lol. I just feel like this thread has good potential __________________ My Heatware

The problem i'm having is my budget is quite low ( about 800$-900$ for 2 pc ) and i've never used 3ds before. Can you help me out ? I'm thinking about the new amd processor x6 1055T . But i dont know which mobo, memory, vga, hdd, psu i should buy. I plan to invest my money for a good mobo and cpu for (2) in order to upgrade afterwards. P/s: Will 1055T + hd5830 cause bottleneck in games ? Thanks first
