thanks for the configurations
can you show me a nvidia card as well?

 

[dccmadams]

take out 4890, put in gtx 275.

take out 4890, put in gtx 275.

AMD works better with ATI and its a 4870 not 4890,but yeah..amd with nvidia does work well to i guess.
change motherboard,cpu and ram and gfx this should be a perfect set-up for 22inch monitor

very old but still working

this I a version of what I can buy
is it more future proof because of the quad cpu?
in my country 1 $ = 3 RON so ...

memory ~ 60$
case : antec 300 ( no more money for CM 690 ) ~ 70$
hard disk ~ 60$
PCU - corsair 650tx ~ 125$
gpu - 4850 vaporX ~ 150$
cpu - x4 940 ~ 230$
I'm stuck at the motherboard , I have 100$ but here I can buy with 100$ this :

is it ok?


version 2
should I go with am3 810 quad ( 2.6 Ghz stock ) and put money in a CM690 case? or go with x3 720 and buy a 640GB hard + CM 690
I don't know, I'm confused, I want something future proof
that corsair 650tx support a next upgrade ( new gpu / cpu in 2010/2011 ) ?

yes it would be better to write in eng in public (here) modereatorii se pot inerva cred
the prices are higher than on newegg, so consider adding 10-15% to the price they gave you but i suggest you go amd+ati way, get a 720BE and 4850/4870
oh and btw dont buy that antec 900 :shadedshu get a 300 if possible

 

[in2ition]

4870 ill be overkill for my 17" crt , witch I intend to change when I'll buy a DX 11 GPU
antec 900 is great ( not as great as CM 922 ) but it expensive here ( almost 400 RON ~ 130$ ) / antec 300 is 65-70$

oh if your gonna change the monitor + gpu then get a 4830 and youll max out everything @ 1280* and that way you go AM3 ram+board


and get the 300 better what other options do you have in the same price range ?

can you give me some link to your shop ?

Little over $800 but this is a full system, minus speakers and monitor.

Motherboard/CPU combo

[Steevo]

$800 system, huge power for the dollar, better cooler and awsome graphics card. Plus save $10 and get teh Hitachi 1TB drive when they get back in stock. MIR's worth $40 and you will have enogh for a decent mouse and keyboard.

 

[kurosagi01]

his from romania steevo

 

[DreamSeller]

i did actually
He can just pick a case of his choice.

 

[in2ition]

thanks

big drop in prices at intel
with my cash I can buy now intel q9400 / E 8500 or amd x3 720 / x4 810
should I still go with the phenom x3 720?

 

[a_ump]

i would stick with the PII x3 720, they're very solid CPU's for gaming, and they overclock wonderfully. So if your from romania.....why are there all newegg posts? i'd post a config myself but yea dunno any online tailers that ship to romania

 

[in2ition]

a 600-650$ configuration at newegg it will cost almost 800$ in Romania
I think I'll go with the x3 720, it's 35$ cheaper than the Q9400

 

[in2ition]

x3 720 ( 30$ under my cash )
E8400 ( 25$ under my cash )
x4 810 ( 5$ under my cash )
my budget
E8500 ( 5-10$ over my cash )
Q9400 ( 10$ over my cash )
x4 920 ( 25$ over my cash )
x4 940 (30$ over my cash )
Q9550 ( 40$ over my cash )
AMD x4 955 ( 50$ over my cash )

if I go with the x4 940 I won't have enough money for a good main board

x3 720 ~ E8400
x4 810 < Q 9400
Q 9400 ~ x4 940


I don't know...go with x3 720 for the AM3 or go with Q9400 for 4 core and future OC ( I don't know how future is the 775 platform )
