Alright well I started shopping for this one thinking that I could use the AGP8x 6600gt I'm currently using, and after much shopping I think i finally found a setup that suits my needs. MOBO: SOLTEK SL-K8TPro-939 Link Processor: AMD Athlon 64 3000+ Venice 1GHz FSB Link RAM: Patriot 1GB (2 x 512MB) 184-Pin DDR SDRAM Link HDD: Seagate Barracuda 160GB Link Case: I-STAR Nitro Ax S-10000B Black/ Silver Aluminium Link All the normal drives as well Ive never had a Athlon so im just trying to figure out if it will be sufficient to replace my current setup, which i upgraded from a dell stock B) 2.8p4, 768mb singlechannel RAM, 40GB hdd, 6600gt 128mb Any thought appreciated
Myabe upgrade to your processor would help? How much are you planning to spend? btw notice how that case doesnt have a power supply..make sure you get that or ur screwed try checking out this RAM also.. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...449#DetailSpecs dunno if its better cuz i dont know what T1 is.. "2-3-2-5-T1"
thought it came with a psu >.<, oh well after looking i came up with this one, its got blue LED's B) Link And im looking to spend roughly 500-600, cheap i know, but im a cheap guy...
nooooo the 12V rail is only 18A !! get this mann !! http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16817189003 o but idk man wutever floats ur boat xD !
no problem man one thing u wanna see is the 12V ! where it says that ! look at how many A it has under the 12V if it's below 20 then it's not real good ! and the one i gave the link has dual rail ! one is 15 the other is 17 15 + 17 = 32
well after all this hard work, someone comes along with an offer thats hard to pass up. heres the pm AMD64 3400+ 160GB SATA HD 1GB GeiL ram Radeon 9600 Pro TV tuner/ Capture card (can record/let you play xbox on monitor) Dual Layer DVDRW Cooler Master Cavalier Don't remember exact motherboard, but it has firewire, usb2, and gigabit lan. I'm willing to sell it for $600, which is a lot less than what I paid for the parts, not to mention building it and windows xp pro. I think I have media center lying around somewhere too, so I could be able to install that if you want. i think ima go with this and upgrade later
woa man ! this is pretty good for 600 bucks ! just upgrade the vid card and ur all set ! eh btw master wut PSU u got? ooh btw is ur mobo AGP or PCI-E? since he needs AGP
hehe agp, and ive only got what came with this stock dell right now, but if his cant take what i throw at it, ill upgrade to the one you recommended. +rep for all your help btw
I love how it's so much cheaper to build computers rather than buying one, i'm building one myself too.
NOOOOOO dont get that. IT has ZERO ZILTCH upgradeablity. IT is a 748 or whatever processor. AMD has discontinued them. Stick with your original build and get a more reputable brand of motherboard. ECS, MSI, Gigabyte. Get a better brand of RAM. Corsair. Get a better PSU - An Epower Puma II Hope that helps and I got to you in time before you bought the piece of junk.
umm if u compare Epower and the xclio! the xclio one is better ! and yeah if it's socket 754 ! i think Geil RAM is alright
