Give me your suggestions for a system build!!! - No Ordinary Clan Gaming Community

SHAKE 21 posts 0 votes =NOC= Elite Member	I have to build a kickass machine to run the "advanced" games like AA3. I would like to hear your opinions and suggestions. I don't want a cheap machine that will be inadequate but at the same time, I don't want to spend too much. So a good medium of performance and reasonable cost. I would cap myself at $1000. Note that I only need the box (MOBO, Gfx Card, Quad-Core CPU, Memory, Power supply, HDD, case, cooling, etc). Posted Jun 22, 09 · OP 0 votes 0 Liked this

SHAKE 21 posts 0 votes =NOC= Elite Member	Thanks for the info Pops! And yup, I already have a 22" monitor Luckdawg. I could build it myself, but I've been so out of touch with the latest gfx performance technologies that I would rather listen to my m8s what's out there. I will start looking into my options, but what is the best gfx card out there? Single or dual sli, etc? Posted Jun 23, 09 · OP 0 votes 0 Liked this
Zane 39 posts 0 votes =NOC= Elite Member	the newest top of the line GFX card is the Nvidia 295GTX (bought myself one last week) and it's a monster! But you really need a good PSU for that! Cause, well... it's a monster ;) Posted Jun 23, 09 0 votes 0 Liked this

Therian 68 posts 0 votes =NOC= Elite Member	Sadly I7 is nice to brag about but the results are not worth it till games have FULL quad-support not the half-ass support it currently has (example GTA4) Also note he wont tell you WHAT the parts # are this is very bad imo...if they don't tell you then be assured its most likely not the best. Could be a Deathstar or Hitachi 5 minute drive...a junkie X58 board. Unless he will give you detailed specs id build your own I7 or try the one below. A system I built for my father is this last few weeks. Processor http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103650 Motherboard http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128378 Memory http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231189 Power Supply http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139006 HDD (badass drives 2 RAID0 = 360mb burst rate 1 = 180mb or so) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148395 Case (I love these cases bought 4 for $60 last year free shipping) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811129021 CPU Cooler Your call...I used a Xigmatek S1283 because the Antec 900 has a top fan. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835233003&Tpk=Xigmatek%20S1283 GPU GTX 260 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150330 OR if you like ATI ATI 4890 1GB http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150360 Total price = $877.14 after rebates = $822.14 with the Nvidia card. With ATI Total price = $898.23 after rebates = 843.23 with the ATI card. You can also SLI later on when prices drop. Though I would choose a better motherboard if you want to SLI. Wont hinder the card a lot but it will a bit. I overclocked the PII to 3.4ghz and I overclocked the GTX 260 216 core and his settings on WoW with a 32 inch LCD are 40+ FPS. Which is impressive since WoW has a leak in their new Engine. I dare say it might be better then my Q6600 system. You can also pay a bit more for a better board for SLI and get 2 GTX 260s and overclock both. I have ran a GTX 295 on my TX750w without issues with my Q6600 @ 3.6ghz. I run about 640w on average load and STILL pay less then then I7 build I personally wont have to upgrade till next year or longer...even when quads become normal will be a LONG time before a 3.0ghz+ quad is "useless" Posted Jul 1, 09 0 votes 0 Liked this
