Please help!! thanks
Why, oh why, would you even think of buying one of those oem piece of ---- computers? There is nothing good about them. Here, I'll go ahead and build you a computer for around $600. Let's start with the processor, which by far, is more important then a big hard drive, or "lots" of ram. Intel Pentium D 805. ($115) (Dual-core for those that don't know what D stands for). Great overclcoker, and a great processor for one on a budget. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16819116001 Next, the motherboard: ASUS P5RD2 ($73) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16813131590 RAM: OCZ Gold Series 2x 512MB ($93) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16820227046 Gfx Card: Radeon x800gto ($90) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16814131007 Hard Drive(s): 2x Western Digital Caviar 120 GB ($118) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16822144414 Case: Aspire X-Plorer ($75) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16811144100 CD/DVD Drive: NEC CD/DVD R-RW ($30) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16827152058 Total: $594 Rapes the daylights out of those crap computers.
whoa.. yeah no doubt those are alot better then the ones i picked.. but as u can already tell i have no idea what im doing .. soo if i buy all those parts and then put it all together .. do i have to manually install windows xp ? and if i have to or whatever will there be nothing on the computer at all? like no files and stuff like that?
You have to buy Windows XP and yes, you have to install it yourself or get someone else to. Those are just parts, meaning hardware. The software, you have to install. Some software comes with Windows XP anyways.
dont get the mobo nor the processor why on the mobo cuz u cant expand on it + u wont get the speed out of ur ram due to the fact that it does not have the abled to go in to dual channel mode get this mobo instead http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16813153041 $85 and this processor - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16819116224 $94 that mobo is good cuz it has the abled to go duel channel on ram and + u can + it is able to go sli if u wanted to game drop the other 120Gb hard drive u dont really need it gfx card the x800gto is pretty good but if u wish to one day use sli get this the 7600GT http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16814130017 then later on down the road u can buy another one and but in sli mode and if u do plan on doing sli drop the psu in the case and buy this one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16817709004 and that will all will make a very very good gaming rig for someone on a budget Merged Post: and no it aint hard to build a computer it is very easy
He said he wanted multitasking. The P4 is a horrid processor, why the hell would you even say to get that. The mobo i suggested supports ddr2 667. He said he wanted a computer that 'has a big hard drive size'. There for you can drop the 7600 because he won't have any money, and the extra psu, he wouldnt have money for either. And just a suggestion.. like so you don't look like an idiot, make sure your motherboard // cpu suggestions are compatable. The motherboard doesnt support 533 FSB, only 800/1066. Merged Post: It doesn't sound like he will be doing much upgrading either, so i doubt he would be going for SLi.
oops i was going to post this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16819116016 i dont like intel thats y ididnt brother to look 653
AND yet another thing. Please look at the 7600 specs compared to the x800gto specs. For $80 more you get 100 Mhz faster core, 600 Mhz faster Memory, but yet only 128 bit interface compared to 256 on the x800. And the x800gto is a good overclocker, no? So it would give him all the preformance he would be looking for, at a lower price, and with an extra hard drive. I believe on some x800gto's (i know the x800gto limited editions can) you can unlock 4 more pipelines, putting it at 16 pipelines, and more the preformance of the x850gt. Seems like a good deal to me.
indeed the x800gto is a great overclocker i only said the 7600 in the case that he wanted in the next year maybe 2 go sli
yeah im gonna go with what john gave me because its at a good price that i can afford..and i will be doing some upgrades later on if i need to.. but i dont think i will have to. and what does sli mean?
if i get this stuff and leave the computer on all day, everyday it wont have any problems will it? like it wont overheat or anything or the graphics card will mess up
