Trying to build a new cpu.
Ok I'm totally new to this kinda stuff and dont know all the cpu terms and shit, but i need a new cpu so my friends told me to start building my own. I'm a casual gamer and love to watch videos, picture or w/e so i need something that can run those kinda apps smoothly so i thought why not build my own? and so far i got these parts.
Graphics Card XFX GeForce 8800 GTS 320MB PCIe SLI Video Card with a FREE Lost Planet: Extreme Condition PC Game  $329.97http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applicatio...844&CatId=2669 Proccessor Intel Core 2 Duo E6850 Processor - 3.0GHz, 4MB Cache, 1333MHz FSB, Conroe, Dual-Core, OEM, Socket 775, HH80557PJ0804MGS, Processor  $385.99http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applicatio...083&CatId=2396 Mother Board XFX nForce 650i Ultra NVIDA Socket 775 ATX Motherboard / Audio / PCI Express / Gigabit LAN / USB 2.0 / Serial ATA / RAID  $146.99http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applicatio...401&CatId=1533 Ram OCZ Platinum Revision-2 2048MB PC6400 DDR2 800MHz Dual Channel Memory (2 x 1024MB)  $119.97http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applicatio...&Sku=O261-8070 Power Supply Ultra / X-Finity / 600-Watt / ATX / Dual 80mm Fan / SATA-Ready / SLI Ready / Black / Power Supply  $59.97http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applicatio...309&CatId=1483 Hard Drive Seagate / 320GB / 7200 / 16MB / SATA-300 / OEM / Hard Drive  $99.97http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applicatio...&Sku=TSD-320AS Fan Thermaltake / Ruby Orb / Socket 775/754/939/940/AM2 / Aluminum Core/Fins / CPU Cooler  $46.99http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applicatio...209&CatId=1588 So what i need help with is the rest of the parts to make a decent/good cpu to play games and videos and multi task. I also need opinions about the parts i choose and see if they are good or if they would even work together. All comments are welcome =D Last edited by Warmix; 09-16-2007 at 06:11 AM. |

well 8800 are mad expensive, i cant find good ones, and if its possible, could you find me an example of a good one? i prefer you use the same site i used for those parts because its near my house, so i can get them easier and see if they carry it.
-=edit=- well how about this one? http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applicatio...918&CatId=1558 Last edited by Warmix; 09-15-2007 at 12:36 AM. |

Well since it's in Canada...
An low cost 8800GTS is $269.99 @ Newegg after rebates. If you could turn that into CA dollars then you could est how much it would cost. The 8800GTS should be able to run quite an few future games too. http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applicatio...rt=Price%20asc I would get the 2nd one, cause its the exact thing as the 1st one + an free game!
