Thanks everyone, got a few questions. First I guess that motherboard is able to overclock? from the reviews that is what I get.... also If I do overclock should I get a new heat sink? and if so which would you recommend? Thanks guys :)

Naw I dont, have xfire or sli in mind and I don't need a monitor, os, keyboard or mouse just the computer itself :) thanks again for the effort guys

Preferably an i7 but given the budget I can settle for the phenom I'm not a fanboy of neither

Hey guys, I was looking to build a new gaming computer. The budget I am working with is from $700-800. I have seen some decent deals on cyberpower, but I know most of you could do better and I enjoy actually building the computer myself... So if you guys have some time I would really...

Well, I am thinking about upgrading probably sometime after Christmas from my current rig you can see in my signature. And what I had a question about was if the new Intel Core i7 920 is better than the Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 Yorkfield? They cost about the same, but since the Core i7 is newer...

Yeah, my bro recently bought a Intel Centrino Duo which runs at 1.66ghz and that thing beats the crap of of my Athlon 64 X2 which runs at 2.2ghz. I get about 42sec in superpi at 1M and he gets about 33sec. Now when I have my computer overclocked at about 2.82ghz then it can beat the...

Agreed. I mean I could play Crysis on my integrated Radeon Express 1200, but I had like 7-14 fps on low, basically unplayable. Edit: BTW, On my Sapphire HD 3870 I can play Crysis Very High, 1280x1024 on very playable fps.

Thats still a dual core :P

The processor comes with a heat sink and fan if that is what you mean.. Just go with the build you like the most ;) .

Well the G.Skill ram has treated me very nicely, but yeah you don't need it. I have used Kingston for several years before this build and it is very trust worthy. So sense it will put you back in the budget I would go with the kingston ram Yeti recommended. As for the power supply, both me and...

Here is my shot at one for you. If does not include a OS. AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ Brisbane 2.2GHz 2 x 512KB L2 $64.99 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103243 G.SKILL 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 $44.99...

I second his opinion :D

Yeah I got my Sapphire HD3870 today and when I first started playing Crysis it blew me away. I guess it was expected going from an integrated video card to a HD3870. Crysis runs at an average of 25fps with everything on high and 1280x1024 with my build.

Well, yeah integrated GFX usually do tend to get really hot and overheat. My ATi Radeon 1200 starting getting artifacts in DOS, so yeah thats pretty bad. Found a fan laying around put it on and worked like a charm. And ChrisUlrich do your have good ventilation in your case? I haven't heard...

Dude I would do it to someone I didn't like, but come on, are you gonna ruin a friendship over a video card :rolleyes: .

Are you able to take a picture of your monitor and or inside the computer?

Yeah, dude I sold my Compaq P4 2.2ghz, Radeon 9550 256mb, 1gb ram, 2x40gig drives, dvdrom, CDRW, 250W psu. All for $199 on ebay. Hope that info helps a little ;) .

Yeah, I would go with the HD3870 or the 9600gt. For what know both of those are better than the 8800gts..

I don't think it's easy for someone else to spend another $50 over their set goal :rolleyes: .

Hmm I would say to find a different power supply, I don't know if you can trust that one or not. If your planning to spend $150 on a motherboard make sure the PSU is trust worthy. Just just my 2 cents. And I am guessing your planning to SLi it.
