[ezekiel]

Hi Gents.

My PC is dying and i mean dying slowly, chokeing the last peace of my insanity and HD's...
anyways hds 1 is dead and the one im on now is failing as i type...

so it's time to get an new pc as my present pc is filled with stuff that seems
so c64'ish compared to what i read about you peeps got...
i ain't got a clue on whats good nor whats best, what goes with what and
what i need aso aso...

so H.e.l.p. :(

need; motherboard - Grafic card - processor/cooler? - sound card - hd - dvd

i my budget is about 1339 €

Radeon or GeForce ~?

tia. :)

Your budget should have been 1337 € :'(


anyways you can get hell of a nice compy with that much money

(I recommend the 7800 Geforce series tbh even if i got an ATI atm lol)
and some nice AMD64 proc, some corsair memory... a SB XFi a 250gb hdd...
dvd burner all that kinda crap :D

lol @ 1337 € :P
why the GeForce ? (i am a total naab when it comes to pc stuff)
i got 500 ram on this pc but i thought about gett 1 Gig + the 500 i got here is there any diff's in ram's ?

what about motherboards ? :D

A~

[INspECtoR-71]

only real difference in rams is if you're overclocking. If not you could get generic and save a lot of money without too much of a performance hit. You could get 2 gig ram and save some cash this way. If you are overclocking then tccd chip based ram is the best atm for high frequencies. the corsair 4400 stuff is also good.

I would also agree on the 7800 gtx at the moment. Seems better than the newest ati cards for now. Not sure about sli vs crossfire yet if you are planning on two card lunacy.

amd 3500 or above. the dual core 3800 is reasonable priced

dfi or asus sli board if overclocking. any nforce 4 board if not

dont skimp on the power supply

pioneer dvr 110 burner

soundblaster xfi sound card as alba says but you could make do with on board so I would make this the last thing on the list
