Ok after looking, new system help please

[PopcornMachine]

The motherboard you have selected is not compatible with the processor you have selected.

CPU is Socket 1366; Mobo is Socket 1156.

And was going to add that you need three-channel memory for i7-9xx/x58 mobo.

Also, if there's one thing you want to spend extra on it is the PSU. A quality Corsair or Season in the 600 to 700Mhz range.

Some possible alternatives:

SeaSonic S12II 620 Bronze 620W ATX12V V2.3 / EPS 1...
SeaSonic X650 Gold 650W ATX12V V2.3/EPS 12V V2.91 ...
CORSAIR HX Series CMPSU-650HX 650W ATX12V v2.2 / E... (the one I have)
CORSAIR CMPSU-750TX 750W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready...

If he lives near a Micro Center they have I7 950's for $199

dam dam dam, lost me a little guys....ok ill do the i7-930/ and any recommendation on a mobo? ? and as for PSU id probably go with the (650watt good enough?)
CORSAIR CMPSU-650TX 650W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready...
this seem ok? here some ideas for mobo n pro.....
what if i kept the i7-950 and used this mobo
GIGABYTE GA-X58-USB3 LGA 1366 Intel X58 USB 3.0 AT...

some diff mem choice are
CORSAIR DOMINATOR 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM...
or
CORSAIR XMS 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 ...
whats your guys choice...i like id be having ddr3 2000(bottom) over the ddr1600(above)
also a cooler for the cpu NEEDED?? even with all the fans in this casing?
thanks
now this is WITHOUT cooler for cpu (idk what one to get) and this is with the mobo if you guys like it, and if everything is compatible...this seems to be fitting under the 1400$..you guys don't mind 1 dvd/cd burner? should i get two?this ok for a choice?

getting excited !!




again getting Hard drive,speakers keyboard, and thats it...just from other sites...

Don't you live near Detroit? where the Microcenter sells you i7 950s at 199$ + 12~13$ tax

paying 60$ more for faster RAM isn't very smart IMO, you won't see the difference, I'm SURE of it

Get a better PSU, the XFX 750W is basically an HX750 if not better, but cheaper, same for the XFX 850W/HX850

Didn't you want Cool and quiet? THE GTX 470 IS THE OPPOSITE THAT... Get Darwin's 5870 or a used 5850 or something

The Antec 900 is great, the Antec 900 + X58-USB3 Combo is a better deal than what you have now

Get the CPU from Microcenter

I say that a 21.5" screen should be big enough for you., and the pixel pitch is much higher than at 24". If you want bigger, perhaps think of getting a 25.5" or 27" non-LED screen or a 23" 2048x1152. Besides, A 21.5" LED screen is 150~160$, would you really pay a 100$ premium for the little bit bigger screen?



Basically, go back to the build I proposed

It's OK lol... I suggest you reread some of my lenghty posts and PM's before you choose some parts

ofc, everyone is entitled to their opinion, this is mine.

P.S: see? when you separate a question into 2 threads, good ides get lost

@PopcornMachine

You don't need a tri channel kit to run x58. Works just fine with a dual channel kit & a single stick.

Sooooo

@newguy

If you think you will only need 4GB(2x2) then do it, granted you will be saving some funding in the long run with a tri channel kit.

 

[n-ster]

Why not just get Mushkin Enhanced SP 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDR...

I like the Silverline kit

Although thats a good deal N-ster!

 

[n-ster]

I feel cheap HSF's are not worth having... DDR3 RAM for the normal TPU member does not need any cooling really

I love mushkins in general, and the silverline kit does look nicer, but is there really any noticeable difference with the sticks themselves?

True. All in all, I do know I've seen reports(can't link right now) of the sticks I linked to go 1600 cl7, but also reports of the SP's doing the same.

JrRacinFan, (needless @ omitted)

You seem to have missed correcting a few others in this thread.

Aside from the horrible PSU, and the already noted mobo problem, I would get a triple channel memory kit to complete the package.

If he is going to get the 930=> triple channel, if i7 860=> dual channel. with his mobo/ram/cpu selection, it seems that he is choosing the P55 build but he says otherwise.

Or maybe your opinion is in the minority.

 

[JrRacinFan]

I'll admit, only read through page 2. But no I wasn't pointing fingers, normally wouldn't

 

[n-ster]

its just more logical to go tri-channel

Enough talking, your cart looks good to go...let's build it.

 

[n-ster]

While I understand you excitement, perhaps what he chose is not the best for his wishes and for his wallet, as I suggested post 29 AND in the previous thread AND through PMs to him. Hopefully he will go more along the lines of my suggestion

 

[newguy24]

ok...tomorrow is my day off, ill be looking at micro center. and your PM's and everyone's IDEAS and combine them and my own personal ideas...ill hopefully get what im looking for tomorrow...wish me luck and thanks... ill defiantly post it b4 i buy for any suggestions

 

[n-ster]

perfect! Good luck

 

[newguy24]

 

[n-ster]

You OK?

 

[Fourstaff]

Get a proper heatsink, something along the lines of tuniq tower, spire thermax and the likes to keep your i7 happy.

 

[newguy24]

just so much...i want ddr3 1600..i want 17-950 or great deal and able to over clock to make it better 930 , i want cool looking system, and a high 750 watt , and a good mobo....just all hard to find for a good deal LMFAO

Hmmm, you can either overclock i7-950 with stock heatsink or you can overclock a 930 with a nice heatsink. Doesn't take a genius to work out which combo goes further. Prices are good right now, but if you want a top of the range pc you got to pay. Also, if you are only targetting on using 1 graphics card, 650w is more than enough for your needs. Usually, people will sacrifice looks for power, but you seem to like your looks a lot, so sacrifice some power instead? Alternatively, you can pimp up your system after your initial bulk purchase, that's a very popular option too.

 

[DannibusX]

Good deals can be found all over the place. Are you passed your 14th day of being a member? If so, there's lots of stuff for sale in the B/S/T section. You can find good deals on a lot of things there.

Just take your time and investigate everything, and your system will come together. If you're hell bent on an Intel system, go for it, but you can build an AMD system, which will perform just as well for games, for much cheaper.

this is not true at all. 2000mhz cas9 is MUCH faster then 1600mhz cas8 and it WILL be noticable. I say get the 2000mhz sticks if thats what you want. 1600mhz cas8 is acceptable but the 2000mhz sticks will do 1600mhz caas7 or 6

Why not just get Mushkin Enhanced SP 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDR...

sorry bro but those sticks run low end psc chips and will be lucky if he gets 1600mhz cas9 the older revisions clocked well but not anymore, i would not get those if I was thinking about 1600mhz cas8 or 2000mhz ram. I get that you think what you suggest is the best we all do, but that doesnt make it correct.

just so much...i want ddr3 1600..i want 17-950 or great deal and able to over clock to make it better 930 , i want cool looking system, and a high 750 watt , and a good mobo....just all hard to find for a good deal LMFAO

dude get what you want. in the end all that matters is that YOU are happy with it.
