Building new comp need suggestions

SAD_DC · 10-15-2005, 08:08 AM

Hallo all..

I am in the process of making a "custom gaming computer" for a friend

so far i got the following things down..(as in i know where to buy them lol)

1gb ram chip

CPU 3.0 Ghz (or more if possible)
Hyper Threading Technology (if possible)

200GB Hard Drive

AtI Radeon x800 Xt Video Card (if you know of a better one plz post)

Mid-Tower with 3 cd slots and 1 zip slot
Clear (so that i can install Neon light inside

500 Watt Power Supply (plz post if you think this is enough/to much
*remember this is going to be a gaming comp*

A mother board with the following
4 ram slots
5pci slots
able to support pentium 4 3.0Ghz CpU
Hyper Threading Thechnology (if Possible)

Also for cooling--
I might get the *NeW* Liquid cooling
(first time I heard of this i thought to myself *gee wizz some 1 wants
to blow there computer to sh#t then i realized it keeps the computer pretty cool)
to this im going to add a *ULtrA* 7 Channel fan controller (pretty nifty item)

but like i said i might get liquid cooling from what I have seen it looks very complicating :*|
if you have it I would love to know how it works..

Post any comments/suggestions/etc..

Well you;'re gonna have to pin some kind of number ... because we could start with a OSA875FKM6BS setup (which is an 8-way dualcore opteron chip btw)

hmmmm... ill say about....DANG IT i dont know :*(

ok...how bout around 5000++ ive never customized a comp before so i dont know if this is 2 much or 2 little
im just saying because it might take me a while to buy stuff for this
i mean i dont have to buy all at once it could be in like a 1 year period
so..

what i plan on doing is buying the stuff he needs to *use* it and slowly add stuff to it

ok plz tell me wheather or not this is going to be a good comp or not

thnx for reply.

We going to need more information. Watts really not what you should be looking at. The amps on the lines is a much better indicator of will it be powerful enough.

Take a look at
PSU101

Give us the maker and model of the PSU and we be able to tell you if it any good.

I mean with the stuff i mentioned..
because i only know of one store online that sells most of the things i mentioned..

and what kind of graphics card would you get for a person that does nothing but game all day (army ops,Cs,Diablo,DoD..etc) you get the point lol
