newtekie1 · Feb 22, 2010

First of all, what all do you need? Everything including case? Are you re-using any parts from an old computer? Need an OS?

yep

n-ster · Feb 22, 2010

then forget all other builds... I am going to suggest a much better one soon

EDIT: Would you like it to be easier to upgrade later for a few more bucks? (going am3) is this important?

and do you trust MIRs?

choose the richardson store

n-ster · Feb 22, 2010

Not only 4gb of RAM, but 1066 at that

or for 10$ less there is 800 if you want

Total is like 361.XX$ - 10$ MIR

lol his friend dont wanna save money on my FS thread

copenhagen69 · Feb 22, 2010

heh ... very nice build there n-ster

is it me or does microcenters site not list everything in the right categories ... i click on AMD CPUs and it lists like 4 ... i know they have more than that ...

n-ster · Feb 22, 2010

yea there site isn't that good... only 4-5 amd cpus (550, 620,630, and 720 and 965) qualify for the 30$ off mobo maybe that is why?

I am sorry I didn't understand... could you rephrase please?

my friend is lazy and keeps giving me vague answers as to when i will get the money to build this system ... that is what hes going for ...

hes an idiot and ends up spending way more than he should if he would just listen to me lol

lol sry ERazer I am tired and didn't understand you meant buying your stuff lol

Oh btw, that 4670 with DDR3 in on special atm, but I think it ends soon... maybe even tonight :eek:

it is a pretty good deal so tell your friend that if he has 63$ to give them to you to save him money later lol

copenhagen69 · Feb 22, 2010

this 4670 seems like a popular low end card ... i see it being recommended a lot around forums ...

I just have not been keep track though .. is it that good ... benchmarks are 'ok' on it

The DDR3 version is a great bang/buck... Please do buy it ASAP since the sale ends in like 3 hours lol... it will save you 12+$

ah ok ... alright im gonna grab that ... if he doesnt want it then i am sure i can find a use for it :toast:

for me if i was picking 5 parts i'd go with 2gb n with the $40 saved from 2gb go with a stronger graphic card as it'll influence a game's FPS more than ram will. I too picked an x3 but went with the cheapest one since you stated you'd be tryin to unlock cores i'm assuming you also know how to overclock so even a modest overclock of 3.2ghz should be achievable.

Thats a good build but why not spend $80 on buying RX-7 8800GT?? and use the other $40 on buying 4GB DDR3 ram.
Sounds like a solid good plan to me.

haha true, but i didn't go through the FS thread. if OP goes through FS thread he could def get some good deals.

n-ster · Feb 22, 2010

IMO$ either the 4670 DDR3 at 63$ or RX-7's 8800GT are both great deals... whichever will fit his friend's needs anyways
