Also would this do fine to switch the case/psu i posted at about $130 to:
A Rosewill TU-155 II 500 Black 0.8mm cold rolled steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case 500W Power Supply
That's about $70 and help lower cost back down :P
Ok, my other comps where AMD so I just went with that. I'll research through intel. I don't really want to go over $650 so I may go for one of those case/500-550 combo deals instead of the two I have now that are about $135 or so together.
As much as I'd liek to get the 280 that price is a bit more for me : Besides that would the 9800 GT 512mb i posted do me well?
Edit: So if I stick with 4GB ram I should get the 32-bit vista and swap the 9800gt for 8800?
Well I'v been reading specs a lot on different pieces and I think I have a build that should do me well, I'll go ahead and lay it out for criticisim/guidance.
Ah, that's nice to know. Thank you.
EDIT: Btw another question lol >.<
I have a x16dvd x48cd disk drive from my old computer. I see the newer disk drives are x20-22dvd. Can I just keep my own and be patient a little longer on disk load…
Also, I'v been going through newegg and seen the "Bill me later" option as long as paying like $250+. If I use "Bill me later" now I can pay the money back until April 1st without finance charges. Has anyone done this before? Sounds like a good opti…
I'v been looking at specs of parts and such and was wondering if a PCI Express 2.0 x16 will fit in a motherboard's PCI Express x16 port? Basically asking because I'm not sure what that 2.0 means on the video card.
Well with help from Ambikan I looked at this:
Motherboard: ASUS P5Q SE PLUS ATX Intel Motherboard
*$96.99 (-$15.00 rebate)
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E7300 Wolfdale 2.66GHz 3MB L2 Cache LGA 775 Dual-Core Processor
*$119.99
RAM: CORSAIR DOMIN…
Thanks a ton for the help, I'll definately keep an eye on posts here. I didn't actually think a 9400 would make a diff from a 9600 or even the newer 9800 graphics card lol. I may just go ahead and take some more time in buying parts, if I do that I …
Well atm I'm not able to just buy everything I need but I was looking more toward (I know this may be bad for a gaming comp. but I want to get some sort of gaming computer) $500-600, maybe $700.
On ebay I seen this comp. wonder if it's a good one …
Ah, one other thing I forgot. With building your own computer I'm gonna assume you need your own operating system. I think windows vista is what I was going to go with, but that's going to depend on its price buying it seperately lol >.<
