im looking for some advice as to what is the top of the range computer hardware as i am wanting to build a beast of a games system. What im really need to know is what is the best and fastest processor going the top graphics chip, top mother board and what would be the correct amount of memory? could you please tell me the products full name as i will more than likely purchase these. thank you
Asking for "the best and the fastest" are two different things!! Anywho...you've come to the right place to ask those questions as we have not only experienced people here, but they are passionate about what they suggest to others! As of today, the following should meet your needs (suggestions). Processor: AMD FX-60 RAM: 2Gig (Corsair, OCZ, Crucial) PC3200 Motherboard: ASUS A8N32-SLI Deluxe, MSI K8N, DFI LAN Party...** Hard Drive: (new) WD Raptor 150 (boot, or dual in RAID 0), Hitachi 7K500 (500gig storage) Videocard: (debatable) GeForce 7800GTX in SLI (ASUS A8N32 uses dual x16 PCI-E lanes)...OR, wait until next month's release of the 7900GTX. **If you want ATI's Crossfire, you'll most likely have to purchase an ATI motherboard...though not sure. As far as single cards go, definitely add the X1800, and X1900 series from ATI. Sound: Audigy XFi PSU: TurboCool (min 510w) Just for starters...
Top of the line? Wait till summer, and get: Socket AM2 Athlon64 X2 5000+ 4GB Corsair TwinX RAM 2x 150GB Western Digital Raptor (RAID 0) Either 2x Radeon X1900 (XTX + CE) or 2x GeForce 7900 (Ultra/GTX) using Asus A8N32-SLi Deluxe (SLi) or Sapphire PURE crossfire (Radeon) Enermax (or equivalent) 600W Power supply
