790X AMD Phenom II X3 720 Build!

Skywalker12345 · Nov 4, 2009

hello everyone i just went to MicroCenter yesterday whooo! :rockout:

i purchased:

Phenom II X3 720
MA790XT-UD4P
OCZ Gold AMD Edition 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600
500GB WD SATAII

i have a 6200gs for a temp card right now but i plan on gettin a 5770 or something similar once i get my next check! Also another case because i have some old antec i bought about 5 years ago but its a bomb case :toast:

ill post some pics later

suggestions on video card or casE?

I think a 5770 would partner well with what you've got. As for cases, the CM RC 690, CM Storm Scout, NZXT Panzerbox, Azza Solano, Antec 902, the possibilities are endless.

The Antec 300, 902, Cooler Master Centurion 590, HAF 922/932, NZXT Tempest, and Lian Li PC-K62 are all great cases :toast:

Looking forward to pics

Cm690 is a sick case i used to have one but i sold it. i got some pics of my old system in my sig

anywho ill post pics later just got the system together.

Lucas,

If you liek local deals on cases, check BestBuy. I remember they have a Tt Soprano for $70 and Antec 300 for $50. As far as cards go, It depends on how much you game and what monitor your pairing with the build.

Skywalker12345 · Nov 5, 2009

Acer X193W+BD is my monitor and im planning on doing some moderate gaming im thinking a 5770 or a 5850

JrRacinFan · Nov 5, 2009

I agree, GTX275/GTX280 or HD5770/HD4890. I'm more stressing the 5770.

fritoking · Nov 5, 2009

i love my 720 be..... wish i had a 790 series mb , but hey it still ocs to 3.7 stable and is a HUGE leap for me from my 9600 be....runs cool also . oi bought the tt V9 black on sale from newegg and really like the case.

HalfAHertz · Nov 5, 2009

Did you see the sapphire review of the 5750 Wiz did? I'd personally go for that once the price drops to ~120, which should be soon

Skywalker12345 · Nov 8, 2009

check it out! my mobo unlocked the 4th core! horray

pics coming tonight just taking them now.

MilkyWay · Nov 8, 2009

really thats cool, couldve sworn it was a x4 940 there lol

i have a 790x and x3 720 cool stuff, gtx260 sits nice with it too

p_o_s_pc · Nov 8, 2009

5770 and Antec 300 they would be a great pair to that

LittleLizard · Nov 8, 2009

or the antec 200. basically a 300 with a plastic front. (yes is the same case, different front)

Skywalker12345 · Nov 9, 2009

did u unlock the 4th core kieran? or do you not have a compatible mobo?

and what about ACC the percentages does anyone know what they mean?

my mobo has an unleash mode but it didnt work it just crashed windows infact it didnt even load windows got to loading screen and bsod

the percentages are like overclock percentage of your cpu speed, so like 10% of 2.8ghz qould be 0.28ghz
so it would make that core 3.08ghz i dunno that just how i think it is

4th core depends totally on the cpu, most mobos are compatible but this one has a specific option for it tbh i bought it for other features i tried to unlock on my old mobo too so i knew it was a dud core

Skywalker12345 · Dec 11, 2009

finally got my memory back from rma and my 5770

i cant wait to put it together after school!

Um yeah I wouldn't unlock the 4th core if I were you.
