Looking to build a new computer heres some parts. Help a noob out :)

Sucks, I've been able to do that since I set my account up when I was 15! Then again I use debit rather than credit cards.

 

haha i meant debit.. it just comes from my checking account. The case just came in today. Pretty damn sweet might i add. A little odd seeing a giant case sitting on my front door in its original box though. I figured it would of been scratched up a bit but no cosmetic damage was done i suppose.

I think they shut down my debit card or something cause i cant buy ANYTHING nor can i withdrawl from an ATM machine. Gay.

 

mikeho303, that youtube site on how to build a computer was great, thanks.

 

That sucks, is it the first time you've spent a lot on it? They may have blocked it for an unusually large purchase...

 

Well also alot of debit cards have a max. amount you can spend per day.

They do this for your security. (god i can't speel, lol)

 

Maybe you ordered something on the weekend AND Monday and they both posted Monday. That is the norm with debit purchases....

 

Haha well i got the debit card thing figured out. Turns out i typed in the 3 digit code wrong on newegg and they cancelled the entire card. (They = wellsfargo)

Ordered the MOBO and PSU with no problems today..

Would it be in any way beneficial to buy 2 500GB HDD's?

Trust me i CAN fill up that much space..

 

If you can fill em up, why the hell not.
More space the better I say.
I run 4 x 250 gb's internal and 2 x 250 gb's external.

 

As someone who's managed to fill 1.7TB, let me tell you this:

1. Get as many hard drives as you can
2. Don't get into HD video!

 

HD video is my poison as well

That and DVD's..

Also if i did that could i possibly partion one of them to run windows XP and Vista?

Or should i make one of them windows XP and the other Vista

I just want the vista one to play those stupid vista only games so i would think a partion would be the best way to go.

 

What vista only games? lol, usually they can be patched to run on xp! But if you must, you can partition the drives off...

 

Shadowrun i think is vista only? Well Halo 3 just came out so i could really care less about it. I think im just going to stick to XP.

 

Shadowrun's been patched.
To my knowledge there's no game you HAVE to have Vista for if you know what to do. You only need Vista for DX10 features at the moment, and didn't someone suggest DX10 might get ported to XP?

 

Haha yeah i know all about the patching and stuff.. I actually stopped caring about shadowrun after i got it for the 360 anyways.

Care to point me in the direction of a nice Graphics card with DX10?

150$ budget.. preferably

Looking at all the bad reviews for that one they all said that it requires extra power and that its really big.

Is size and power going to be a problem with what i have or no?

Its the antec 900 case incase you forgot

Well i take that back.. When i said 150$ i really meant 170$.. It doesnt matter really i just want something thats going to knock my pants off.

200$ limit though..

 

If any of them say it uses extra power they're idiots, it's the standard card but with a larger passive heatsink.
If you don't want that, then get this one

haha i dont know i was just reading what the idiots said..

 

Shooting for 100 posts on this thread i guess...

Sorry to bump it up again just thought i would update.

Just Purchased the Corsair RAM. I should be getting the PSU and the MOBO soon as well.

Should i start putting the parts in the case or would it be better off to wait until i have everything? Im not taking anything out of its box or its bag until im positive it wont hurt it or anything.

 

I would wait until you get the MOBO first, easier to mount the cpu and cooler when it's not in the case. But go ahead and put in the PSU if you want.

How much longer before you get the other stuff?
