[holyshit]

cpu:http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4438239&Sku=A79-0720
gpu:http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4494053&CatId=28
ram:http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4350425&CatId=2261

hdd:http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3540620&CatId=2458

Will this build work?

Mobo + RAM: Suggest you get DDR3 instead
HDD: Get 16MB Cache

I suggest you cross check the price with different online retailer. Some items seems more expensive

 

[holyshit]

how about this motherboard? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128378

 

[StrangleHold]

You can get just about all that cheaper at newegg. If you go with the GA-MA790XT-UD4P AM3 board you will have to change your memory to DDR3.

 

[holyshit]

is ddr3 worth it?

 

[bomberboysk]

is ddr3 worth it?

As far as futureproofing, Yes. G.Skill makes some good ddr3 for the price.

 

[susik89]

it is

go with that mobo: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128378

ram: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231193

also i would go with evga instead of pny http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130468

and you can use windows 7 rc for free instead of paying for vista ;x

[susik89]

for 7 more bucks you can get ram with better timings

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231200

 

[holyshit]

Is there anything else that i need to change or is everthing else fine?

 

[susik89]

lol i keep trying to bump up the price, sorry for that

but heres 500gb hdd from western digital for only 7 bucks more

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136073

but if you dont need that much space stay with the one you chose its good too

and the other thing ive told you before that you could use windows 7 rc and save 80 bucks but if you want vista then go for it

the whole build looks good, have fun with it

 

[holyshit]

Anybody else have any suggestions?

 

[bomberboysk]

This case is the same, except has a side panel window and is cheaper due to free shipping:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119077

 

[holyshit]

i just need a cheap cd/dvd drive. Anyone have any ideas?

 

[ScottALot]

Hey, when we place our builds on here, lets make the build a Wishlist, and publicize it so we don't have to open a bunch of tabs. I haven't done that yet, but I will in the future.

 

[holyshit]

Know that i got the final build in i got a couple of questions that migth change the out come of this build.

1: Is the mobo futureproof?
2: Are any issues with vista that should know about?
3: Will the gpu run games like fallout 3 and prototype on high?
4: Are the cpu and gpu combatible?
5: does the psu provide enough power?
6: How much ghz in total does the cpu have?
Here is my build for now:
cpu:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819103649
hdd:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822148262

[lovely?]

for the price you've built a very nice computer! i dont see anything that needs to be changed, only personal preference things (like the case, im not a fan personally)
