Hey
I want to make a new computer but i dont know what components i should buy.
could anyone help me?
my budget is about 1000$
 
Do you have any of it already? (mouse/keyboard, OS, monitor, parts, etc...?)

What will it be used for?
 
Hows this....Using the new Core i7 930.

Overbudget yeah,But awesome system.

Do you have an OS?....that will pump up the price if you dont,But i think its well worth it.

If you wanted to bring the price down a bit you could choose another cheaper mobo and cheaper version of the 5770,I choose that version of the 5770 because its already overclocked for you,So no fuss.

Thank you very much :)
the only problem is that i cant find the motherboard on any website that ships to Denmark. Do you have any suggestions on another Motherboard?

i Already got a OS
 
If you want, you can switch to an AMD or i5 setup. It'd knock enough off of the price that you can upgrade to a 58xx card. Gaming performance will actually be better, because at good resolutions the gpu will always be the bottleneck.

The cpu link is for a Core i7 920 and not a Core i7 930. Are the new 930's out yet?

Do you have a suggestion for a build with an i5 processor and better graphics card?

or just a better graphics card for this build?

thanks

il shove a list together for you now,personally id go for the i7 build and if needed get a better GPU at a later date,the 5770 is more than powerfull enough for most of todays games on high settings but you want an i5 list aswell so il shove one together for you :)

Looks good.

Keep n mind TS, that I wasn't suggesting the i5 as a better option...only a different one. You'd have better initial gaming performance, but the i7 rig has much, much more upgrade potential and raw processing power.

would the 2nd graphics card you came up with work good with the 1st build you made?

Yes, the 5850 will work on both. The 5850 is a big upgrade over the 5770 if you can swing it. Google "5850 review" and look for reviews against the 5770 and you will be sold.

BTW, the 5870 is the fast single GPU made right now. If you plan to get two 5770's and CF just save a little more and get 1 5870. Forget the CF issues. The 5870 is not that much faster than the 5850 though.

A couple review of i5 v i7

Basically you will see that if you want a single PGU the i5 is as fast as the i7 for games.
