im thinkin bout building a new gaming comp, but i dont wanna spend more than $400. i have no clue on how to build a comp, can anyone help me on makin a goood comp??
When I built my first pc I didn't have a clue either. There are loads of good pc building guides on the internet, just google for it and take your pick. Thats what I did.
i need advice on what to get now.....please help fast, i need a comp ASAP, my other comp is slow as hell! something with dual core....
on that size of buget your best bet is to get an amd 939 athlon x2 bundle and a mid range card like a 7600 gt or 1800gto. try pricegrabber or somthing like to fing the best prices. you will want a pci-e mobo and 1gb of ram and most games will run great
i dont know if this can go together but let me know if it cant. http://www.directron.com/x1600protd512.html VIDEO CARD http://www.directron.com/cm2x10246400.html MEMORY RAM http://www.directron.com/p5b.html MOTHERBOARD i checked the price and that altogether would be $408 without tax or shipping
yes it will go nicely but that gcard sucks this would be better at that price, http://www.directron.com/pvt42eude3op.html or for a little bit more http://www.directron.com/pvt73guge3.html im asuming your using the case, psu, hard disk and disk drive from old pc. you will need a compatable cpu id go for the pentium d 805 in that board, you might also nedd to upgrade your psu try this to find out how much power you will need http://www.extreme.outervision.com/psucalculator.jsp
dude u can get a computer for bout $400-450...if you want to get a GAMING COMPUTER then $1000+ would be a better choice cause modern games recomandation is so bloody high...
thanks marsey but i might have to drop the price a little cuz the psu. i have an 80 gb hard drive in my old comp that im goin to use though
my dad said i also need a cpu, is that true? or does the motherboard that i chose have a cpu? can someone tell me everything i actually need besides motherboard, video car, harddrive, memory, and psu.
a case(should be able to use old one if les than 8 years old) a cpu, kboard and mouse if your older ones are serial and a dvd drive new games use them more and more plus all you mentioned above. mine is a sempron 3400(754) asrock k8nf4g mobo 2 x 512 ram asus 7600gt 450w psu 2x250gb spinpoints toshiba dl dvdrw it was cheap in total it has cost me just under £400(plus screen, kboard, mouse, speakers, printer) i can play all the latset games with all the eye candy turned on at a resolution of 1200/1000(fear quake4 oblivion) with playable framrates all the time. to play games you need min 1 gig ram newish graphics card and a cpu faster than 2 gig the rest realy is upto your budget how about this? $406 mobo $55 http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16813130542 cpu $80 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16819103633R ram x 2 $100 http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16820161674 gcard $141 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E1681415018 psu $30 http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16817138002 it wont set any world records with it performance but it will play games and all the other more mudane stuff a pc does, plus it would give the option to add newwer componants to it in the future, because am2 is amds new socket and it will be supported for quite some time to come
Core 2 Duo E6600 Basic Mobo (has to support Core 2 Duo, DDR2 and PCI-E) 1 BG DDR2 RAM Basic HDD And 7900GT DONT GO SLI! 200% of the money,120% PERFORMANCE. If you have spare $$$ lying around, invest in the stock market =]. Nah just kidding. Go for a better SINGLE graphics card or a nice cool case that can light up and do the hula.
damn marsey, thats real helpful, thnx for dat and satvik dats waaaay outta my price range lol thnx though but marsey i was look for dual core, i seen how fast it was, cuz i use my comp for other things too besides gaming
could swap these for the ones above mobo $50 link below (nice spot nissan) cpu $90 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16819116001 but this would take you up to $416. i was trying to get it as close to your budget as i could, thats why i went single core but this is a good cpu for its price. if you shop around you can get them cheaper i did it all on newegg as its easier to give you a ballpark figure, and an idea of the kind of system you can get for that kind of money. this board is not as good as the first (link) one you mentioned at the top of the page but you get what you pay for
heres another mobo that you can use both ddr and ddr2 ram plus it has a PCI express slot http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16813135023
