Author Topic: The parts for a new PC (Read 2368 times)

GT-7 · « **on:** May 11, 2008, 10:53:52 AM »

So, since I'm bored, I decided to post the parts I've been thinking for my new PC. I got low budjet, (around 500 euros) so the parts aren't the latest ones, but I should be fine with them.

ABIT IP35-E motherboard,
NVIDIA GeForce 8800GT 512Mb graphic card,
Buffalo 2GB DRR2 800MHz ram memory,
Cooler Master Real Power Modular 520W power supply,
Intel Core 2 Duo E6850 3.0GHz prosessor,
Ace Action 4 Silver case,
LG 20x DVDRW Black Soft SATA,
and new keyboard + extra fan.

Total: ~570 euros + posting ~15 euros

Discuss and give your opinion.

only 2gs of ram? if your bothering to get a 512 HD graphics card you may as well get 3 or 4 gigs of ram, its not very pricey.

You don't need more than 2GB.

Fake. That config can run new game like COD4 BF242 Crysis maybe with medium settings but anyway dont say its a bad config cause it was really good for that price.

Not a fan of ATI cards, I had ATI for some time and I was glad I switched over to NVidia. You should also check with the PSU by visiting:

Upon filling in all the questions about your computer parts, it will not only give you a wattage rating, but also a suggestion of which PSU's to go for.

Other calculators include:
CPU Overclock Calculator
CPU Temperature Calculator
Ã‚Â°C/W Calculator
Temperature Conversion

@ Technogeek: Thanks for the site, I'm testing it out now. I've been also trying to search some good graphic cards but only a few of them has VGA.

@ morbidxxx: Well that's in Latvia.

@ SnowMan: Do not take that AMD Prosessor, it honestly sucks.

Try AfterDawn dude, maybe it's better place to ask for things like this, and it's finnish.

I already have. In case you didn't saw the reason why I posted this to here too. I told it in the first post.

If your currency is euro then I'd suggest you to buy in the US. Because 1euro = ~$1,50 . And everything which costs 100euro here costs $100 in the US

Yeh but which stores will ship the parts to here? And Technogeek, made the test and it said that recommended is around 310 watts. The power supply it gave is Antec TruePower Trio 430 ATX. Should I get that?

Edit: And ofcourse there aren't that power supply in the store..

Edit2: http://www.multitronic.fi/?prod=GV-NX88T512HP
What does that mean that it's 256-bit and does it effect on the other system?
