lazlohollyfeld Posted June 4, 2012 at 06:10 AM Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 at 06:10 AM So you've decided to pool the middle school graduation money together to get yourself a new computer? Congratulations. My recommendation to you would be three words; S.S.D. A solid state hard drive is like a blow job, in that even if it is not great it is still pretty good. The 320gb HD you selected is pretty paltry, and your load times for PR will be pretty negligible from your current setup. A SSD will load programs and games 2-3 times as fast as your current setup. Budget an additional 100-150 more and get a SSD, then send me a thank you card for showing you the light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldfishy Posted June 4, 2012 at 09:33 AM Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 at 09:33 AM Quite a good setup.What I'd definitely suggest is buying a SSD. You don't have to buy a 320gb SSD to store everything, just get a 64GB, install win 7 and maybe some important programs that you need, which will make your windows reallllly fast. The rest of your stuff (games, progs) install into your 320GB HD. Because SSD's with high capacity cost hellalot.Also I would invest a bit more into the CPU, but this is up to you.

chrisi123 Posted June 4, 2012 at 11:46 AM Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 at 11:46 AM before you do anything! think about getting a quality power supply not just a noname one. i mean those nonames are very dangerous for your computer cause they don't have any securitys in it! and they don't have the power as they should have. i would say you buy a be quit! one or something like that, cause you only need a 450W power supply. if you think about that just ask me if you have questions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

=VG= SemlerPDX Posted June 4, 2012 at 04:54 PM Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 at 04:54 PM Seriously, when I add up the price of all your parts, it comes to the same prices (and in some cases, the same parts) of the custom built gaming computers at CyberPower (the link that BLuD posted). The only difference is that for that same price, through CyberPower, you would be getting a way better graphics card, better RAM, and a warrenty on the build. Unless you were going to build a rather advanced, expensive setup, I would also recommend that you check out CyberPower's deals cuz you could get way more for your dollar when it comes to entry and mid level gaming systems.http://www.cyberpowerpc.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest plymike Posted June 5, 2012 at 02:44 AM Guest Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 at 02:44 AM The first ever gaming computer I bought was CyberPower, I hated the hell out of it and it was always needing to be fixed. Plus I just added up everything, some componets not as good as what I'm currently buying, and it ran me about $210.00 more expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
=VG= Murderface0151 Posted June 5, 2012 at 06:36 AM Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 at 06:36 AM at the end of the day, i personally don't mind spending that little bit extra. you know where you're getting stuff from, and what's going into your build. plus there's nothing like the feeling of completing a PC build :) even though they never seem complete haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suomikeizari Posted June 8, 2012 at 03:07 PM Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 at 03:07 PM True, my rig was supposed to be about 600? but it ended up being about 850? in dollars i guess those would be from 670$ to 900$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
=VG= poffadder Posted June 8, 2012 at 04:21 PM Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 at 04:21 PM Man you should really look at some Intel stuff. Their CPUs are much better for gaming (Even if you go low spec now and upgrade further down the line. eg. i3 now i5-7 later.) I'm always on TS if you need suggestions.Also a 700 Watt PSU is overkill for that setup, a stable 450-500 watt psu would work just as well. (Corsair make great PSUs)And I'm not sure how hyper threading would affect your ability to play older games? Could you explain your concern?

Plus I just added up everything, some componets not as good as what I'm currently buying, and it ran me about $210.00 more expensive.So, what are you currently buying? The list has changed from the first post moreso than just that 8 core AMD? Also, remember, specs quoted by Newegg are no kind of specs at all. Research your parts separately, not at the storefront - for example, look at the best Gaming CPU's between $100 and $200 as rated/tested by Tom's Hardware:http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaming-cpu-review-overclock,3106-3.htmlYou'll see the FX-4100 doesn't qualify as a "gaming" cpu technically, and also some real data on the CPU's that should be considered for gaming PC builds.!hi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

=VG= SemlerPDX Posted June 9, 2012 at 11:22 PM Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 at 11:22 PM I'm liking the switch to the Intel - they are leading the way, blasting AMD out of the water. I've been learning a lot from Poffadder in the discussions we've been having regarding this new tech. From what I hear, there are instances where a CPU is branded several ways, but remains the same at the core - meaning you pay less for same part, and manually dial it up to the speed of it's higher priced brother.Do you plan on doing any overclocking, or perhaps sometime in the future? And, if you are, know that you have plenty of helpers here that are happy to answer any questions you may have.!cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terremer Posted June 9, 2012 at 11:47 PM Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 at 11:47 PM at work ive been recommending nothing but intel. got a guy that only uses a computer for basic office shit to buy a laptop with an i7 in it, lol. he said he wanted something that would last a long time though so i guess it works.

=VG= poffadder Posted June 10, 2012 at 04:42 AM Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 at 04:42 AM That motherboard does not support SLI.And unless you are going multi monitor and huge resolution, the following 570 is a much better choice. I cant recommend MSI and it's twin frozr range enough. Great factory OC, great quality custom PCB and great build quality all round and very cool and quiet.MSI 570GTX Twin Frozr III OC:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127582I have installed and used this card before and I have the 560 ti version in my pc. With the help of MSI afterburner, RivaTuner and the twin frozr cooler these cards are overclocking beasts.You could also look at the 670s I think they are worth the price premium.
