Although I don't like the processor, that's generally an awesome build. Good luck.

Garethman!!` · 04-01-2008, 06:38 PM

What processors would you recommend for future builds?

Edit:
This is the other computer I have on offer.

I am currently just experimenting spec/price and finding the best.

From a marketing aspect, I suppose the Q9450, or perhaps the Q6600. I'm guessing noobs (no offense to them) would be more attracted to a Quad over the E8400, although the dual core is arguably the better chip for gaming and definitely is a better overclocker.

The Q9300 is weak. It sports less cache than the Q6600, a 7.5 multiplier (although I'm not sure if those buying your rigs care to overclock), and only offers a 100MHz speed increase over the Q6600.

If these sell, build a few with the Q9450 and the E8400.

You have a great idea to make money there. Let us know how it goes

Garethman!!` · 04-01-2008, 07:10 PM

Excellent, thank you for your help.

I would have put the E8400 in, but they're sold out and I don't want to delay the order at all for the customer.

If that one does sell, ill add a few more PCs, with the processors mentioned above, also some with 4GB RAM over 8GB and some with BluRay and Some without, so then I can get a feel on what is preferred.

Will let everyone know how it turns out :-)

You're not going to get anywhere near that much for that system.

Just make sure that you pack it well, as it's very easily to have it damaged during shipping.

Garethman!!` · 04-01-2008, 07:43 PM

Yes, I will pack it in very securely, Ill also change the processor to a Core 2 Quad Q6600 and drop the price a bit.

ThatGuy16 · 04-01-2008, 07:54 PM

You would be surprised what someone that is computer illiterate will pay for a "custom" computer

Garethman!!` · 04-01-2008, 07:56 PM

Indeed, and it is priced so high because of the RAM and Motherboard with the Graphics and BluRay drive. I am thinking of putting another model, almost same spec, lower end mobo, and graphics and slower RAM and see what happens, but ill wait to see if I get any interest on the two I got on before I add more.
