quad core? I'd love that... and yea, I OC'd my system by just 10% and the heat didnt change much if at all, so I'm thinking another ten still on stock cooling wont do too much. Still unsure if I should tho if its safe or not since i never did it before
ok can you give me a compltere list of what i will need to build a comp in the 700$ price range +P (dual core vid card is needed )
no such thing as a dual core vid card.there are dual GPU GFX cards though, cheapest one is 800$ again you can't get much of a gaming system for 700$ what you can get is a fairly good overall use system which can play most games at acceptable settings while having good future scaleability. only dual GPU card on the market http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16814121213 essentially two 7800GTs in SLi with a small performance hit. here is what i would get if I were you: Opteron 165, on par witht he x2 3800+ for gaming and can be OCed a lot, commonly OCable to beyond FX 60 speeds with good cooling and ram http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16819103588 1gig ram (get btter stuff if you plan on an extensive OC, should be fine to get you to DDR420-440) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16820231027 Diablos recomendation: 6800 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...130#DetailSpecs mid range motherboard http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16813131569 SLi FYI and Crossfire are synonymous to marketting bull----, the 7800GT outperforms two 6600GTs in SLI and costs less while using less energy. then toss in a cheap case and a PSU and you're set.. every game at good settings and great scaleability. OC to FX 60 ranges if you buy better ram(in the future) and a good PSU.
Get this gfx card while its on sale, good for the price. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...130#DetailSpecs
xelink would this be a good mobo instead of the one you picked? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16813136165
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16813136152 so this mobo is better then what xelink suggested?? il pay the extra money for it and also looks incredibly cool
didnt you say $700? you cant be buying $330 processor and $100 motherboards and $60 and like $130 on a gfx card, that alone is totaling $627. just keep in mind if you buying a whole new computer that'll you'll want a good hard drive and CD\DVD R-RW which will cost around like $40, leaving you give-or-take $40 for a hard drive. might wanna cut back on something?
Stop posting stupid things on this forum Twizted. People like you are making this forum crap, I remember the good old days when people actually had some sense on this site. no reason to --Rep me and you know it.
Uhhh Yea I agree with .DeFuZioN, People are posting in this thread to HELP YOU. So show some restraint and at least be a little thankful for everyones help... P.S I would choose a different Mobo, I wouldnt go with that one unless I needed most of the Extra Features and such...Plus you may Need SLi Support in the Future.
