I live in the US and I mainly use Newegg, are those parts on thre by any chance? I can't really understand what you wrote, unsure whether it's numerous titles or specifications of two specific things.

Tell us your budget first.

Stay away from Amd and Quad cores.

AMD - It's old to say AMD is better in gaming. In every other aspect beside gaming, Intel has done a great job. Besides, AMD is getting old and their newest phenom sucks.

Quad cores - YOU don't need quad core for gaming and there's absolutely no program in this world that needs Quad core to use it. Go for a good Dual Core and you're fine. A good dual core can run 10x porn while u're playing WoW so.....

Mobo - Absolutely go for Asus. They are awesome and it's the best stuff you can get. ( Dont get Maximus Formula serie, it's a waste to get it now. You can't fully use it now....unless u're ***** rich )

CPU - If you're not working with your comp. Do not get Intel Xeon....get Core 2 Duo.

Icy is right Quad Core was a little too much, but thats only for hardcore players... So go with a very good Dual Core Intel...

The second thing was a Motherboard, the MSI, they are alright... Go for Asus or MSI

Here's what I have picked out;

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813128059

Was a great option, very similar to the $200 one I picked out in most aspects, yet $100 cheaper.

XP Pro:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16832116400

Didn't think it'd be that much, oh well. Hey, if I know people that build computers, and they have bought a OS in the past, does it only work once? Or could I load it onto my computer?

CPU:

http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...IN#detailspecs

Guess a quad core is too much, anyone want to reccomend a very good dual core that's cheaper then that? Not only will that be good because it's all I need, but it'll help me reach my target price.

I've got the other parts picked out as well, only one more question just to be on the safe side,

Video card:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814150252

This will go into the mobo I chose right? On the title it says PCI-E, 2 x 16. Yet on the mobo it says 3 slots for PCI-E, yet only 1 for the 16. That a problem at all? I heard it's fine, and I could put three in if I wanted because there's room.

Icy · 01-27-2008, 02:53 PM

Cpu - Intel Core 2 Duo E6850 3.0ghz

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819115028

Dont have much comment about videocard and mobo. It seems ok but again, Asus holds the best reputation for motherboards and their price are great.

About the PCI-E, ur mobo will only hold ONE graphic card. Not more than that. Graphic card needs PCI-E x16 to make them work. Any other PCI-E will be for sound cards, PhyX, etcetc.

Take note that your rams will eat about 100-200$ depending brand, speed and amount.

I suggest Kingston for RAMS, and don't get HyperX series cuz they're just fancy rams with about 10% faster but 2x the price. You basically need 2gb only....anything above that is for people running tons of useless things. Like norton, music, download, video, word.....games...

MrWafflez · 01-27-2008, 04:52 PM

I already chose RAM, and do I need 2 PCI-E 16 slots, or just one?

Also, here's my RAM;

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820231098

Edit, what the heck? With that CPU I am paying more and dropping the quad core for a dual. That makes no sense..

Its also old to say AMD always over heats, their new processors are great in terms of budget, and my dad has had his AMD Athlon processor for about 8 years now (he's a greedy bastard that refuses to upgrade!) and its still running fine.

You guys can flame me all you want, I DGAF (Don't Give A F***) cus I like AMD and i recommend it, besides i'm not even gonna bother to read this thread again

*ontopic*

awesome RAM choice dood I hope your new computer is the shit

Oh heck no! Don't go for 3.0ghz Conroe... Get 3.0ghz Wolfdale instead!

Wolfdale runs cooler, better overclocking capability, faster than Conroe, etc.

Also, regarding the memory - if you ever decide to overclock it, you'd be better off with this:
