how good is the computer gonna be ? starcraft 2 ? 64 fps constantly in wc3? and also how much is all that gonna cost cuz im geting a new computer at end of month cuz mine crashed so i cant play at all can only play runescape ( rofl ) on my parents computer cuz thats how bad it is…..
and we were gonna make it custom built
so ya would help a lot if you could answer questions cuz then i could build it after you :)
Well, I’m not much of a hardware guy, my friend chose parts for me..but it should be pretty decent. That CPU is a more expensive one and should definitely be sufficient for awhile.
I’m using 2 GPUs so I can do some crossfire thing or whatever and use 3 monitors for poker.. you won’t need that.
4 GB Ram, standard.. no soundcard yet cause I might go with a really super one or something for music production, and you can get along with onboard sound anyway.
yeah once it’s put together and I start using it I’ll post more about it.
Including a 750 GB hard drive, it was $1100 from newegg, pre-tax, pre-rebates, pre-shipping.
I also got two new monitors that cost another $500 :D (only opened one so far and it has a fucking broken pixel or smth…, but nice monitors aside from that - -;)
and also got some cheap logitech 2.1 speakers
Brax just get avlabs mouse,monitor,headset,jkeyboard ^^. How much is that computer gona cost all toegther matt?
Actually in my comment above that $1100 is only including price of one PGU since my friend is giving me one.
Total comes out to about $1250, more or less. That is sans sound card remember. Not including monitors/speakers etc too..
CPu - Intel C2D Q9300 ( kk )
MOBO - Asus P5Q Pro LGA 775 ( whats a MOBO but k)
GPU - 2x MSI HD4850 ( only need one got it but what is a gpu)
RAM - 2x Crucial Ballistix 2×1GB (kk you said this was good)
Case - Antecn Nine Hundred ( will fit all stuff)
PS - OCZ Gamexstream ( whats a PS? lol )
DVD drive - Sony Nec Optiarc ( dont need )
then just a standard sound card
750gb harddrive sounds good :p
also how do you get the casing to light up in those pictures? is it just part of the casing? and thank you matt! :)we are looking for the stuff this week :D ill just newegg everything or is that the best way?
mobo = motherboard, gpu = graphics card. ps = power supply. ya the lights are part of the case
i just newegged.. but you could shop around i guess
ok matt im newegging most of it and looks all good so far but for those 2 ram sticks a lot of reviews say that their voltage or somethin cant handle it? can you tell me what htat means or if im going to have any trouble with those errors ? ( im copying these exact things except for like extra like the 2x graphics card and dvd player so you should prolly know ^^ )
just making sure before i order them thanks!
IDK my friend mentioned something about it when he was putting the parts together for me. I haven’t had any problems though =]
oh ya and also should i just get the 2x 2gb ones insteada the 2x 1gb ones? they are only like 40$ more..and thanks for all the help matt :) respond to both questions tho :D
2x 1gb = 2 sticks of 1 gb. 2 x 2gb = 4 sticks of 1 gb
god you need to make a edit button box hahaha ok and is it alright if i switch that graphics card with a geforce 8800gt?or will it not fit in case or anything? thank you
it will definitely fit in the case.. as for problems there shouldn’t be any, but I’m not 100% certain
ok i new egged “Intel C2D Q9300″ and nothin came up at all… lol what do i do?

and is the 750gb harddrive that barrucuda one?
” Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 (Perpendicular Recording) ST3750640AS 750GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA-300 Hard Drive - OEM ”
?? just makin sure on all this stuff lol
you can go with pretty much any hard drive. i got this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822152100
don’t go above 7200 RPM though I think those faster spinner ones break more easily
god another dumb question prolly…
how do i get windows XP on it when i get it? i am no way ever geting windows vista or linux or anything…
lol
you need an installation disc and serial key, etc. you should already have one for your current pc *I think* call whoever you bought it from and ask I guess
