and this hard drive looks like the one too.

plus this powersupply
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6817153021

and then this dvd/cd drive
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6827106014
that would work with the motherboard I have selected?

What would you guys reccomend in the lines of cooling? I know nothing about that.

then have all that fit inside this case?

(forgive my questions this is the first time I have attempted to seek out all the parts for a pc)

Forte, instead of the CD/DVD drive you bought I would recommend just buying an all in one CD RW R +- / DVD R RW DL +- drive for an extra $20. I bought mine in November when I put together my computer and it has worked fine. Although I've only burned 1 CD and 1 DVD it seems releatively quick.

EDIT: Also, allow yourself a ton of time to build it if this is your first time. I put mine together over a Turkey-Day break and almost brought it to a store because I was so lost and aggrivated. Luckily I kept at it and had it working on the first try ed:

I have some friends that are going to come over and help me. I know what I am doing as far as installing the graphics card and all that jazz. No clue when it comes to the processor, mobo, power supply... basically everything except the simple stuff.

thanks 9mm. I updated my post with that drive. I think I will change the mobo and HD too now that I think about it.

You HAVE to buy something unnecessary Forte, please, please, please, please!

I was thinking more along the lines of a fleshlight.

Nice rig, thank your pops for doing that for ya, don't me a selfish fuckhead like Jin roh when his dad was gonna buy him a car

What car? oOo:

[quote="Jin-Roh":4ea4a]What car? oOo:[/quote:4ea4a]"I DON'T WANT A FUCKING SATURN. IF YOU LOVED ME YOU WOULDN'T BUY A SATURN, DAD, YOU RAT BASTARD."

oOo: rolleyes:

Yeah. Considering I never asked for a new computer, I am completely grateful to him. Even if I have to work it off.

[quote=Whatada]"I DON'T WANT A FUCKING SATURN. IF YOU LOVED ME YOU WOULDN'T BUY A SATURN, DAD, YOU RAT BASTARD."

oOo: rolleyes:[/quote:514fd]

thank you.

[quote=Nyck]thank you.[/quote:fa4cb]

You misinterpretted it. I was assuming that it was an older, needs work constantly kind of Saturn. I was wrong, it turned out to be 2004 and in great condition. I AM thankful for be able to use the car for about a month. However, it was taken away due to my grades. He was going to take it away anyway, because my grandma's car crapped out and she needed it more than I did.


On topic: Is the DFI Infinity Ultra better than most others (besides Ultra-D) - or is there a better mobo for under $100?

was looking further into cards, and the ATI X800GTO2 sounds good, that after tweaking it can reach x850xt marks, any good then?

Only Sapphire GTO2's can unlock to X850s. And you have to hack bios, and I'm pretty sure it doesn't work anymore on the newer ones.

Do you really want to take the chance?

How fuckin hard is your highschool? I coasted my senior year, did my homework before class, and got a 3.8 GPA.

Issues much?


Mobo - Get an nForce 4 Ultra
CPU - AMD 64 4400+
Video card - nVidia GeForce 6800 GT

[quote="TGB!":4aa7f]
Right now:

K7VTA3 Motherboard SiS or some shit. No PCI-E. AGP
Chaintech 6600 AGP vid card (stutters even with a reliable power supply, not all the time but it happens - have to reboot system when it does. . .this occured even WITH a 500W powersupply in there with all the +12V bullshit - gonna sell it to some asshole online)
AMD 2100+ or so CPU.
1GIG PC3200 DDR200 (is that right. . .fuck if I know what the two numbers mean) ram.
[/quote:4aa7f]

Motherboard: simple! Get the latest Asus that supports PC3200 RAM.
CPU: These guys are on crack... unless you plan on doing CPU intensive tasks, I don't suggest anything higher than an AMD64 3700+ (socket 939, so make sure the Asus board supports them)
Video card: Ati X850 Pro should suffice. Powerful enough for most games, not too expensive either (I got mine in Canuckia for 300$, so it should be 250 or less for you)

Nope. Just regular shit. . .gaming, watching movies, maybe some ADOBE work - nothing that I need three half-pipes and Sli-Water-Cooling. . .o_0

How much different is the x800XT from the x850 - cause I can get an 800xt for 100 bucks less - refurbished but still warrantied.

I hear the X800 XL is better than the X850

Mine and i like it a lot, was a good price too.

See if you can check some benchmarks on Tomshardware or another review site like that: I'm sure you will find a difference of 10-20 fps between those cards, so it's all about what you're playing and how you will be doing so (AA, settings...)

its ok for his dad to buy him a badass computer, but when i posted mine a year 1/2 ago i get buttraped by all you guys. plzdie:

because I am working for it also? this isnt something I wanted, but will take, and do the work required. When I see an offer I like, I dont pass it up.

It's difficult for me because I'm not what you would call a responsible student. That, and it's California.

To stay on topic: BFG or XFX??

i worked for mine too, paid half up front and then i gave my dad $200/month till it was all paid off. plzdie:

lol.

i hear nothing but bad things about XFX.

Yeah, if your parents want to buy you a computer its not a big deal. I just asked for parts for xmas and my dad and I put it together...so plzdie:

beer:

This threads getting some action over the last coupleof days eek:

First off, x800gto 2 from ocuk comes pre unlocked to 16 pipes,. its just a matter of you setting the core and memory clock with ati tool, and seeing as its an r480 core you should at least get x800xt-pe speeds from it. Saying that id still say to get an x1800xl or 7800gt, x800 isn't getting any younger and is starting to show its age in some games.


Eds pc:

Depends on how much you wanna spend:

Motherboard = DFI LanParty UT NF4 Ultra-D

cpu = 3800- single core or a better dual core varient, since games are starting to use dual core (quake 4-cod2) its probably the better investment as well as being better for multitasking in windows.

Graphics, 7800gt\x1800xl, 2 newer cards supporting all the new buzzwords like hdr\sm3.0. x800 series while still good is starting to look crippled in games like fear so theyre kinda out of the window in terms of what id buy at this stage.

On the other hand ive heard a lot of bad shit about bfg the last lot of months, hardocp forum is flooded with people having to rma their cards multiple times just to get a working one back from bfg. hake:

[quote="TGB!":5c25c]Im upgrading the components in my computer and need to know what I should get, what I should be looking for.

Right now:
Motherboard - should be able to fit in an ATX tower. Not looking to upgrade case.

CPU - no fucking clue.

Both above should last be able to last me for awhile, to accomodate future Vid Cards should the need arise.

Video Card - Anything that can run shit at 12x10 without having to jack shit down to LOW.[/quote:5c25c]
NF4 ultra mobo from Asus, Abit, or DFI (if you're adventurous)

CPU: $200 range just grab a A64 3200+
$300 go with a A64 3800+ dual core

Video: Low: 6800GS
High: 7800GT/X, 1800XT

shiiiiiiit

the graphics card I want is out of stock......cuss:
What should I do here? buy everything except the graphics card, and build the system without it, then when it is in-stock just buy it and pop it into the already built computer.
Or should I just wait and get it all in one fell swoop?

You could get a 7800GTX 512MB or X1800XT 512MB, the X1900XT is the best but only a few fps better.

Far as im aware newegg.com has the powercolour version in stock (xtx edition)

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6814131004

Hard to find anywhere selling the 512mb gtx, and thats at a price that doesn't rape you dry and comes back for more within 5 minutes. ed:

final questions.
Does the processor come with a heatsink?
Does the processor come with the glue?
