About 1363$ build.
nVidia GTX580 DDR5
16GB DDR3 RAM
1TB HDD
WIN7-64
Built-in adapter and 4-USB port addition
AMD Phenom II 64 X6 1100T Six-core 3.3 Ghz AM3 Processor
Asus M5A87 Socket AM3+/AMD 870/DDR3/SATA&USB 3.0/A&GbE/ ATX motherboard
Special hec X / ROSEWILL 600 WATT HIGH PERFORMANCE SLI/CROSSFIRE POWER SUPPLY
and
An MZXT M59 Case / Mid-tower
All from computerlx.com. Is this good?
-
if you (clearly) dont have a budget, dont get an AMD, its worth splashing out for an i5/i7
also get an ATI card
-
Yes, but people have diff opinions agaisnt the ati/nvidia and the intel/amd but yeah
-
nVidia GTX580 DDR5
Special hec X / ROSEWILL 600 WATT HIGH PERFORMANCE SLI/CROSSFIRE POWER SUPPLY
if your also splashing out but staying on nividia, get two cards for sli
also
-
On an iPad, what is the image? And I've maxed out my budget allowed, which is 1300~

Thats exactly what i was thinking. I pretty much know fuck all about CPU's but i do know Intel are a shitload better than AMD.
I use an AMD dual core and it's newer than my brothers Intel, but his CPU is better than mine.
Go with Intel.
-
It's an AMD-only deal. About the SLI/Double cards, I've got an nVidia 9500 laying around. So those are covered. I'd rather stick with nVidia, too.
-
is ita prebuilt pc holy fuck
look at the thumbnail i posted, do that set up for the highest budget

No, it's customized. What's wrong with it and why are you all putting me down for not getting 3l1t3 1nt3lz or @t1?
-
does it come pre-built
if so dont get it that is all
-
Define your definition of "Pre-built."Fuck, code. Also, I don't trust you smt. You sound like you don't know what you're talking about.
-
dont trust me then idc
the rig int he image is better as well as saving about 200 dollars, thats one reason of why prebuilt (parts being built at the company, pc shipped already built hence >pre< built) is shit
-
You're better off with Intel than AMD. My one and only AMD that I've ever had is my current laptop. It's not bad for the price, but for a computer, Intel is the right choice.
As for the graphics card, the 580 is great. However, to get better performance with possibly less money, I'd say get to 470s or 460s and run in SLI. If you don't plan on doing that (as it is best to run the same two cards in SLI rather than a 580 + 9500), a 590 might be a better choice considering you're already paying a high amount of money to begin with.
-
the cards need to be the same to sli else you'll get bottlenecking and it becomes worthless, better to buy two lower price cards and sli them than put a higher end card sli'd with a cheaper one
-
He can't afford a 590, they are about 500 quid or so.
-
The 590 isn't available, I mightn't SLI considering the 9500 always had problems with me.
-
nividia 9500 is what i had untill it made my graphics drivers crash, never going with nividia again i've always had problems with their cards
-
I've only had 2 problems, being the driver crashes on win7 and a 7600's... Fluid things basically blew up.
-
If suggest an ATI card if you don't want an 700 watt station causing your electric bill to go up and choose AMD for quadcores
-
Ok, I'm getting it as it is.
-
hi
Prebuilts are bad and I will strangle the fuck out of you if you buy one
-
Sorry I can't be a pro and build. I don't trust myself to do it and I have no experience doing it either.
-
you don't need experience
ITS EASIER THEN FUCKING LEGOS.
-
I have retard hands.
-
if I wanted to break a PC component I would have to hit it with a hammer
stop being paranoid, everything comes with warranties anyway
-
Really, grisly male, I won't build it because I won't and that's that. Sgfsfsfsfsfsyyhhhhh
-
have fun spending 1500$ on a computer you could build for 700$ then
-
You know better than to make useless posts like that smt. Dont do it again. 5% added. ~Krystal
-
It is pretty good for a new computer because its not outdated in anyway possible.
-
I was working on it earlier. new specs:
1397$
nVidia GTX570 with super clocking
Intel i7-960 Quad Core 3.2Ghz
2x1TB HDDs 7200 RPM
12Gb 1600Mhz DDR3 RAM
WIN7-64
800W Power Supply
Etc
-
What are you going to do with 2 x 1TB? I never understood how anyone could possibly fill up that much.
-
I was working on it and I've redacted the 2nd drive, saving some dosh.
It will have liquid cooling, too.
-
you seem to be missing a motherboard from that...
-
That's because I don't remember the mobo name. Lolololol LOOOL
-
ctrl+c
Ctrl+v
Important lesson there, son.
-
IMO, it's a waste of money for an i7. An i5 is more than enough for gaming. Unless you're running a big business, the i7 isn't worth it.
-
Oh for god's sake, I'm not downgrading hardware from what it is.
-
Just buy it. The only opinions you're going to get in here onwards are "BUY PARTS CHEAPER THAN PRE-BUILT" and "ATI / NVIDIA IS BAD GET NVIDIA / ATI"
-
Build it.
-
Funny that you say that, I've been reading up on building and I could do it, but I'm fully illiterate as to getting each part, and cables. And paste.
