Computer Help...

LiquidSilver · 03-07-2006, 10:34 PM

Hello, I am new to this forum, I have a problem I know how to build a computer just I can't pick out parts very well. So I wanted to come to the pros... I have a $900 budget. And yes I have read Praetors computer help posts but I dont like the one he has for two reason's (no offense Praetor its a good post) 1. I don't buy OEM product I have had a very bad experience with them (long story), and I only like geforce cards not ATI's. I know I may sound foolish but plz help me. For a card I wanted a Gefroce 6800 Xtreme but alot of people tell me that stinks. Also this computer is for games and I only buy from newegg. Thank you for all the help I appreciate it, I knew you guys could help me beacuse this is the

best computer forum Ive been to yet (I like the setup).

there i believe that even leaves you alittle room left over to upgrade whatever part or parts of those you feel nesseary or buy new optical drives i dont know if you have them to use or not. some of the parts are the same or simalr to the ones i have and i like my computer very much.

See that sticky thread? You know, the one right below the button you needed to press to make a new thread?

LiquidSilver · 03-07-2006, 11:15 PM

No offense i didnt like your $900 setup and some of the links wont work
Also I dont buy OEM products and ATI video cards

In this forum are we aloud to ask questions?

**Praetor** · 03-07-2006, 11:20 PM

Well for starters, you've not given us an intention so i couldnt help you if i wanted to

LiquidSilver · 03-07-2006, 11:24 PM

In the first post I said this is for gaming.

LiquidSilver · 03-07-2006, 11:29 PM

Praetor do you know any good video cards of geforce I was going to get the geforce 6800 xtreme but my friend said it isnt that good i got a $170 budget

Also tommorow I have a half day and I will spend about 4-5 hours in this forum replying to posts that have questions, say I post 90 posts tommorow on recent topics will that be considered spamming if its one the topic?

Dr Studly · 03-07-2006, 11:46 PM

first off i would advise waiting for the release of the AM2 on june 6th, but if u dont want to wait:

Processor: AMD Athlon 64 3800+ 2.4GHz w/ 1GHz HT Socket 939 Processor
Mobo: ASUS A8N5X ATX AMD Motherboard
RAM: CORSAIR ValueSelect 2GB (2 x 1GB) DDR400 (PC3200)
Video Card: HIS Hightech Radeon X850XT IceQ II 256MB (it isn't geforce so if u want u can switch... but it is still a very nice card)
Sound Card:Creative Sound Blaster Audigy2 ZS u can always get that somewhere else if u dont want OEM, but that is just fine...
CD/DVD: LITE-ON Black IDE DVD Burner
PSU: Rosewill RP550-2 550W Power Supply
Cooling: Thermaltake CL-P0257 Blue orb II CPU Cooler (very nice, my friend has it and he OCs well) i recomend this if u are gona OC
Approx $950 not including a case or OS which u can pick out...

so if u want to knock a few $$$ off u could get this processor instead and it would come to around $880

no offence... but dont ask us what u want if u already know what u want...
this doesn't meet all of ur guidlinesexcept ur budget and purpose...

**Praetor** · 03-07-2006, 11:49 PM

Sorry for missing the intent. With reference to my system:
1. You said you didnt like some of the parts ... which ones? why? got a better solution?
2. Links for the 900USD gaming box work
