DarkEgo · May 23, 2008, 02:57 AM

wow thats not to bad, i mean i can play at 30 fps,
i would be overclocking the E7200 to its limits on good air of coarse

ShadowFold · May 23, 2008, 02:57 AM

I was actually gonna get those instead but I figured the extra 30$ was worth it. They are a good pair of headsets I would get them.

You can look here and get an idea: Crysis Benchmarks!!!

DarkEgo · May 23, 2008, 02:59 AM

i will raise the v core .1 or .2 do u think a 650 watt psu will be fine or should i get a 750

ShadowFold · May 23, 2008, 03:00 AM

Naw I ran my E7200 at 3.2ghz for 9 hours on prime and its stable as a rock. I run all the stuff in my specs on a 550w so 650w is more than enough

JrRacinFan · May 23, 2008, 03:00 AM

Oh about 20fps

Seriously ... its quite hard to tell. You will first need to overclock that e7200. Your probly going to see 35fps.

Here, this will give you a couple bucks to float around with and you may be able to get yourself a bigger HDD with the saved $$. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817371015

DarkEgo · May 23, 2008, 03:04 AM

The only problem with that PSU is ill have 2 sleave it myself, and spending tht little on a PSU doesn't sound rite to me, i bed it would come back and bite me in the ass

JrRacinFan · May 23, 2008, 03:06 AM

O rly? What if I told you that my psu can SLi 9600GT's? ....

Sleaving bah .... Your trying to be budget here right?

DarkEgo · May 23, 2008, 03:07 AM

yeah i guess how long have u had that PSU

ShadowFold · May 23, 2008, 03:07 AM

Get a 7200.10rpm drive! They are REALLY fast, I went from a 7200rpm WD and the 7200.10 loads stuff twice as fast.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822148261

As for my PSU recommendation I would get one of these.

60$ - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817341012
70$ - (I have the 350w version in my HTPC)http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817256037
100$ - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817139004

A good 4-5 months now.

CrackerJack · May 23, 2008, 03:11 AM

wouldn't he need a psu with atleast x2 8pins. He did say crossfire was a option later on. Might as well get a psu that will be ready for crossfire.

DarkEgo · May 23, 2008, 03:11 AM

ok then i think ill go with that psu. hows is this ram: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820146764

DarkEgo · May 23, 2008, 03:12 AM

after doing a little more research i c that the performance gains at my resolution will be minimal so no CF is out

ShadowFold · May 23, 2008, 03:13 AM

never mind

DarkEgo · May 23, 2008, 03:13 AM

yeah im defenitly not going to do CF

ShadowFold · May 23, 2008, 03:14 AM

Then I would go with a 450-500w psu. Look at that OCZ 500w I linked its cheap and FSP makes OCZ psu's so its good.

DarkEgo · May 23, 2008, 03:15 AM

lol shadowfold i looked at the picture of your rig, wonderfully cable management, lol jk

CrackerJack · May 23, 2008, 03:15 AM

then yeah go for the CORSAIR 550w

DarkEgo · May 23, 2008, 03:15 AM

i m going to stick with the 650 because its cheap and will be good for future builds

ShadowFold · May 23, 2008, 03:15 AM
