Solve : Building A gaming computer!? |
|
Answer» HEY friends, One of my buds and I have been thinking of building our own computers. Of course being a dude I want the bomb, Fastest....... you get the idea. I currently have a pentium 4, 3.00 ghz, 3.00 GB of ram, ATI radeon X1300 Video card, 160 HARDRIVE. But ya know boys love there toys and I have to have a better system. What would you all recommend as far as the A processor, Computer GHZ, Video card, Ram, Hardrive. Thanks! P.s. I know I sould have posted this on HARDWARE section.What's your budget?Intel Quad Core Dual GeForce 8800 Ultra 768MB in SLI 8 GB of ram well maybe not that crazy but hard to put together a rig until we know your budget Quote from: dirtmaster88 on July 09, 2007, 01:26:56 PM Intel Quad Core lol I wish i could build that. I built a pretty nice rig on paper for about 1000 dollars if you want I can show you it. I have some parts I can just use from my old computer but the main parts are there. Depending on your operating system, unless you have 64-bit Windows XP or Vista, the regular versions of Windows XP or Vista are 32-bit and will only recognize 4GB of RAM (less what your video card has onboard). I just built this and am finishing my installations: Intel Core 2 Quad Q6700 Intel D975XBX2 motherboard 4GB PC6400 RAM ATI X1950 Sapphire Pro video card w/ 512MB on board memory Windows XP Pro It's purring like a kitten. I highly recommend the Intel motherboard. It has onboard RAID for a 0, 1, 5 or 10 configuration (depending on the number of drives you will have). MAKE sure you look in to the games you want to play. Checking the system requirements aren't enough. As a Sims 2 player, CPU speed matters way more than RAM or my video card. Other games rely on other hardware. Video cards are usually where it's at, but not always. Good luck! |
