Hi im pszczoll . I want to build a pc but my knowledge about building is equal 0. I need a lot help with that. My budget range is 1500-2000. and i dont know where to start. Im not sure whats better amd or intel. sli mode or crossfire. ect.
you want core2 duo, 2gb ram and 8800 but the rest is dependant on budget. ask in the offical building thread and they can halp you out.
core due is better than amd systems? .and 8800 yes i want that but the motherboard should support sli so in future can upgrade to 2 graphic cards. and the budget im sure 2000 not more.
u could get a core 2 duo from intel 2gb of ram a 8800gtx a 750watt power supply a good motherboard Gigabyte, Msi, Asus a 500gb hard drive for storage and a 10,000rpm raptor for windows and games or dual raptors in raid and a nice 21 inch monitor so u could use ure 8800gtx to the max and 4 a soundcard a x-fi from creative and a aerocool case
with that budget you will have no problems building a good system. Look in my sig and you can get some suggestions on parts. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115003 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130051 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820146526 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811233006 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817194004 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150172 DVD drives and hard drives and everything else is pretty much up to you. A decent surround sound system for that motherboard would be, of course you can go higher end if you need to blow yourself out of your chair. No sound card really needed as the motherboard above has 8.0 HD audio build right in and when using the Realtek audio drivers it will work just fine. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16836121126
I would like to get an sli ready motherboard and for now put 1 graphic card (sli to be able to upgrade and put 2nd card in the future) and than im gonna need good power supplie. I agree with elokito , i like your idea with hard drives. Im gonna try to get 2500gb(7,200) - 300gb(7,200) for storage and 2 hard drives 1,000rpm. One for system and bigger software and other for games.I got hp p930 monitor its ok i think. got logitech g5 mice and logitech 7.1 Z-5300e speakers. so i think i just need a case and keyboard.
That motherboard has a similar feature called Crossfire, where you hook two crossfire video cards together. But the XFX GeFeorce 7600GT that i bought has that too. So it is not SLI but pretty much the same thing. And they may add SLI later via a bios upgrade. But look around and find one that fits all your needs. This fit all mine and is great for gaming. Plays Rainbow Six Vegas on the highest settings without a glitch. http://www.digital-daily.com/motherboard/msi_975x_platinum/
