Building a new rig. Need Suggestions.

Eh, just talked to my cousin about the motherboard situation and he's using the same case... he says ATX fits fine.

Thanks for your concern though, that could have been bad.

goof micro-atx mobo,

JetWay, ECS, Biostar... Plenty!

 

[Ramodkk]

ROFL man! good one!

I edited now... just before you posted that ^

JetWay, ECS, Biostar... Plenty!

HAHAHA whoops.

Thanks again guys, will most likely be buying what i most recently posted.

Only thing that might change is the processor...if the one oscar reccomended is in stock

 

[Ramodkk]

What processor did your last computer have?

 

[oscaryu1]

Judging from his last posts, definitely not a Intel!

 

[Ramodkk]

I dont get it!

That's a pretty decent CPU but sadly a Exxx could get a better score on SuperPI

(....right? )

 

[oscaryu1]

Yes, especially if he overclocks it with a P31/P35 motherboard.

Even E6750 is better than that ^^

E6750 performs better, consume less power and overclocks better

 

[mattxmiggz]

^I actually REALLY liked it, was very fast. I think the highest i got it was 4 ghz

 

[Ramodkk]

Seemed fast. An E6750 @ 4.0GHz would smoke it.

But I get what you're saying, it probably was a very good CPU, was it easy to OC?

If he wants to use macintosh on his pc he will need specific hardware. If ya are go for these (some guy used it on his hackintosh and got it smooth)

1. Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3P v 2.1
2. BIOS: Latest
3. Chipset: Northbridge: P35 Express Southbridge: ICH9R
4. Built in LAN: Realtek 8111B
5. Built in Sound: Realtek ALC889A codec
6. Processor: E8500 45NM 3.16
7. Drives: 150 Raptor 10k SATA (you really should get this drive, its so fast), Seagate 500GB 7200K SATA
8. Optical: LITEON SATA DVD
9. RAM: G.Skill 1000MHz 4x4 8GB
10. Graphic: ATI 3870 - Saphire
11. Add on 8169 PCI LAN card.

I hardly doubt you will require the 8gb of rams so change that to two or four.

^I'm not trying to use macintosh.

 

[Gogey]

Yeah..where exactly did you get the idea he was trying to use OSX from?

 

[mattxmiggz]

^ ahaha yeah i flipped through the pages and no one said anything about OSX.

It'll be super easy with a great OCing motherboard, and expensive thermal paste + cooling...
