Alright, I should be starting within the next few weeks. I'll post a thread with pictures and specs once it's finished. RE: Building - Dismal - 10-07-2009 Find out what kind of processor you want first, then post back so we can suggest motherboards... I love picking out motherboards.

I'm looking at a Core i7, the 920 Nehalem to be specific. (the cheap one of course ) RE: Building - TeeCp - 10-08-2009 Well I built mine and it was about $2,700 AUD for the desktop, $3,000 total with the monitor. For $1,000 dollars I would probably recommend these parts: CPU - Intel E8500: Great duo core processor is excellent, sitting at around 3.16Ghz, easily over clocked to 4Ghz on stock cooling. RAM - DDR2 4GB 800MHz RAM GPU - Foxconn 9800GT Motherboard - Gigabyte MA790GP Cooling - Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme + Scythe Slipstream: Not exactly needed but the cooler everything is the longer it lasts (plus it's there if you ever want to upgrade the gpu/cpu). PSU - Silverstone Strider ST50F 500W HDD - WD 750GB HDD Hope this helped, gl on the rig.

Does this "Tiger Direct" Work in the UK.. Also, do you have a link for them?!?! RE: Building - MisMaTcheD - 10-08-2009 (10-08-2009, 04:17 PM)Codine Wrote: Does this "Tiger Direct" Work in the UK..

I want my desktop to be somewhat upgradeable within the next 2 to 3 years but also want enough power to game, which I've never been able to do with the systems I have owned in the past. Check Newegg they always have combo deals. As far as getting a good cpu. I'd recommend an Intel i7 920 and possible a Revision D0 - OCable to 4.0+Ghz. Do not buy the Extreme Edition, it's a waste of money. RE: Building - extortionist926 - 10-08-2009 The site www.xoxide.com has some good products for good prices. If I remember correctly they don't have processors, but stuff more like cases and fans and power supplys. I recommend checking it out!

I also want to know how those GTX 295s are doing for you, since I think that might be an investment if I can one day go SLI. |
