Isn't it late to wonder if you made a mistake 5 years later.

As other have said certain parts (mostly CPU) are way overkill, whereas others are just too plain (GPU). For such games I dont think you need to spend that much. At what resolution are you playing ? Maybe consider getting a new monitor ? The i7 920 is plenty for anything you mentionned you...

I would actually consider selling the computer rather taking it apart like that. It is still a very potent system which could surely get u a few bucks.

You're right overlooked the 940 being an AM2+ CPU... thanks for the correction. As for the age matter, I totally agree with u, just saying that I find it ridiculous when people base themselves on the age... When u were answering me, or others, I could see someone more experienced than me in...

Haha, I just remembered reading somewhere on the boards(here or elsewhere) that someone did not liked the fact someone young was helping him... Well, today I was amazed at how helpful Bomber was... I just noticed you were 15. I must say I am impressed and thanks a lot for your help... My...

Ya, I've been reading comparisons, been on the boards for a while, checking prices... But I must say I always come back to the boards cuz of the quality of the suggestions I get here. And I have also been using Excel to compare prices over time, but I will use it also to compare many systems at...

I agree, but at the same time, I don't think its a good idea to go too low on the PSU. Isn't it always a good idea to leave some head room ? And for 20$ more getting a corsair 650TX would be well worth it IMHO. Edit: And if he takes the GPU u suggested as well as the RAM u suggested and the...

Here are a few suggestions: i7 920 and Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD3R combo 455 EVGA GTX 275 239.99 or Sparkle GTX 275 229.99 You NEED a better PSU, here are a few suggestions Antec EA650 74.99 (this is the cheaper, but not the best option), Seasonic SS-650JT 89.99 or Corsair 650TX for 79.99...

Thanks for the the great info guys. Alright and for that matter, would you advice me to take the X4 940 or 955 route since the 955 will use the AM3 mobo along with DDR3 which would all be more useful in the future, or is it not worth it ?

Sorry to bump this, but it seems at this time there are way too many good advices that are being given away :D

The PSU included in the case is junk. As Jevery said, the HD4830 is a step down from the HD4850 You do not need a sound card, I would suggest starting with the onboard sound which should be enough. For the GPU, depending when you buy your computer, I would look into the HD4770. It seems to...

I am not currently playing any recent games, my current rig is a thing of the past. Once I have the computer, some games which I might be interested in playing are TBS and RTS, its possible I would play some RPG or MMORPG. I will never play FPS. Somehow, I don't fall into the go quad all the...

Hello, I am looking forward to build a new computer some time soon. In my research I have been suggested to get an X4 940 which I found to be a good idea at the time, but then I came to realize that I wasn't even sure why I should get one over the other. My purpose is mostly moderate...

I dont know if you really need the modular PSU, but I would suggest looking into the Corsair 750TX which is 115 before MIR, of course the Corsair 650TX would also be plenty for your build and at 95$ before 20$ MIR, its quite a nice deal.

I already have 1 external 500gb HD, which I assume would be plenty for all my information and more. Would that replace the purpose u r talking about ? Otherwise, I was kind of thinking about going RAID 1(that's the one where it backs up at the cost of speed, right ?) Otherwise, any other...

Hello, I am thinking about building a system sometime soon, possibly this summer. I know prices will change and that some pieces might need to change then, but I want to have an idea of what to expect and also to be able to compare prices over time and just be ready when I will be or when a...

Looks like a good build, but what will you do with it ?

I wouldn't trust the Raidmax PSU, rather get the Antec Sonata III with an Antec EA500 PSU, it should be much better and its only 80$(not MIR). You might also want to try this CPU and mobo, Intel E2180 for 69.99 and Gigabyte G31M-ES2L for 56.99. The CPU combos costs you 7$ more, but the...

Its not only that NCIX is cheaper in prices... Shipping is much cheaper and so are taxes it seems. I just did a little check without any PM. Sonata Plus E8400 7200.11 500gb P5Q-Pro Newegg.ca : 611.96 + 77.67(taxes) + 50.23 (cheapest shipping) NCIX: 604.88 + 30.24(taxes) +...

For CoD 4 it wouldn't be a problem, but for Crysis, it would be superb, depends on what resolution u plan to play. I would suggest getting at least a HD 4870 or a GTX 260. Also, looking at NCIX, its a great store for Canada and from what I've seen, better prices than Newegg in Canada.
