Help me with a new build.

spartikus · Apr 15, 2009

Hey guys haven't been on here in a while. Last time I built a computer for myself it was april 2008. I am selling my old computer and ready to build a new one. The last computer I had was an AMD chip computer. I want to build an Itel rig this time can someone give me advice as to what motherboard cpu etc etc. I will be using this computer mostly for surfing the net etc but I do play games occasionally. My budget for the whole set up would be in the 700 - 800 dollar range. Thank you in advance.

N3crosis build nice too. Quad system cheaper than the Dual Core I put together.

A couple good options though, to mix and match with maybe.

Yepp I Agree but i would go for intel as i have once faced a huge dissappointment in my life cause of AMD.

He used an "Intel Q8200".

I thought you meant one of the builds submitted here used an AMD,
which they don't.

That's why I was confused.

spartikus · Apr 16, 2009

So should I go quad core? Also I am hearing that the 775 socket is on its way out should I try to get a Mobo with a different socket? Thanks for all the help thus far.

You'll be fine for quite some time with a socket 775. The 1366 just came out so it's not like the 775 will disappear overnight.

I would go with the quad, definitely.

hey guys another question no matter which mobo i get intel or amd can i take my old video card out of my computer and use it in the new one its a evga 8800 gt the person i am selling my old computer to won't need the video card i think the video card on the mobo would suffice for them?

Just make sure to tell them that you are taking out the 8800gt before you sell it to them

spartikus · Apr 16, 2009

Also what are some good video cards now days I am used to Nvidia hence the 8800 Gt in my last computer but how are ATI and which ones would be good choices if I chose to buy another video card instead of using my old one?

thandakid · Apr 16, 2009

spartikus · Apr 16, 2009
