New rig...

stefanels · Jun 8, 2009, 06:01 PM

Today i was talking to o friend and he asked me if i don't wanna sold my PC, and a couple of minutes ago comed here and we maked a deal...

The reason i've selled the pc is because i don't game that much and too much money was sitting in it...

So now i counting the money and looking for a new rig...

I've made a configuration and PLS tell me if something it's not OK...

1. CPU - AMD Phenom II X3 720 BE
2. Mobo - MSI 790FX-GD70
3. Memory - OCZ Platinum 2x2GB DDR3 1600Mhz
4. HDD - WD Black 640Gb
5. GPU - HIS Radeon HD4850 1GB
6. Case - COOLER MASTER Centurion 534
7. PSU - Thermaltake W0093RU 500W

I have the 24" LCD so i'm not gonna have to buy a new one....

LittleLizard · Jun 8, 2009, 06:21 PM

the psu and the case. otherwise is an excellent rig.

stefanels · Jun 8, 2009, 06:52 PM

I'm not rushing to buy it yet, so you have time to come up with ideas...

The only *good* ThermalTake power supplies are the ToughPower series.

kurosagi01 · Jun 8, 2009, 07:20 PM

for an extra $5 i would get a corsair 450w?? yeah its weaker by 50w but hey its corsair they are very unpredictable?

Motherboard is way overkill
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813130224
790GX are better for the price

Oh and PM me when you get that OCZ ram.. I'm thinking of getting the same ones

If he decided to get that motherboard then he can afford to get a corsair 550w:

ShadowFold · Jun 8, 2009, 07:31 PM

Yea definitely don't get Thermaltake unless it's a toughpower, TP's are Channel Well and the others are some crappy OEM.

I'd get this and save some money anyways
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817812004
Mushkin uses Topower, one of the best

kurosagi01 · Jun 8, 2009, 07:42 PM

so whats different from that to the corsair?? extra 30w? but i would still get a corsair 550w it has 41A on the 12volt rails

ShadowFold · Jun 8, 2009, 07:56 PM

It's modular for one. Plus everyone says to get a corsair PSU, just lookin out for the little guys who are better and cheaper

stefanels · Jun 8, 2009, 07:56 PM

I had 2 TT PSU's and they worked like a charm... Corsair's is also very good

Paintface · Jun 8, 2009, 08:03 PM

uh since when its the AAKS faster? thats the blue edition....

black edition is faster.

also, spent abit more money for a 4870 1gb instead of the 4850

stefanels · Jun 8, 2009, 08:10 PM

I'm not building a gamer's rig (that's why i just selled my gaming rig), just doing a PC to be fast enought...

Jun 8, 2009, 08:11 PM

wow stefanels are the prices in ro same as on newegg

stefanels · Jun 8, 2009, 08:14 PM

The newegg link it's just to see what i'm buying, the prices is from RO...

he says nothing about prices , he just wanted to show the items he is going to buy

TheLaughingMan · Jun 8, 2009, 08:38 PM

Well You said you don't game that much, but you do game on it occasionally, hence the 4850. The only three things I would change to save money would be the Mobo, RAM, and Power Supply. My suggestions are below.

RAM 4 GB G.Skill

MSi Mobo From above

Rosewill 530W

stefanels · Jun 8, 2009, 09:24 PM

...or should i buy an used Q6600, E8200-8400 and a new LGA775 board like this one...

ShadowFold · Jun 8, 2009, 09:29 PM

The X3 is faster than all of those. If it were a Q9000 I'd say yea, but they're far more expensive.

Paintface · Jun 8, 2009, 09:30 PM

no... the 720 is the best deal out there atm

also since you dont game much , go for the 4770 instead , same performance , tad cheaper, and alot lower power consumption.
