triflip 20 Dec 2010, 21:58
nice system, but since ur already spending that much add some nice soundcard a lot better as the onboard shit.

And then u can also use ur onboard just for movies so you friends can enjoy a movie while ur playing ET (if you have 2 monitors ofc) xD
▼
miXer 20 Dec 2010, 22:01
yea ill be buying a nice sound card ;D
oh ive got 2 monitors :p
Parent
▼
Spirea 20 Dec 2010, 21:59

▼
miXer 20 Dec 2010, 22:01

Parent
▼
Spirea 20 Dec 2010, 23:52

Parent
▼
crumbs 20 Dec 2010, 22:02
I would buy a nice monitor for like £180, and reduce some of the other stuff, unless u will be playing new games on high graphics
▼
miXer 20 Dec 2010, 22:04
Ive already got one mate :]
But apart from that, do you approve?
Parent

Parent
▼
miXer 20 Dec 2010, 22:34
You think the:

12GB (3x4GB) Corsair Dominator, DDR3 PC3-12800 (1600), CAS 9-9-9-24

Is good?

oooh behave, the coolermaster is sick once I get the clear side panel ;)
Parent
▼
garin 20 Dec 2010, 22:39
Yeah, that RAM is obviously good :P also, it has 4gb sticks rather than 2gb = more ram for the future :)

lul ! :D
Parent
▼
miXer 20 Dec 2010, 22:41
sweet! I heard that 1800mhz is good if its overclocked to 4.0ghz haha :D
Parent
▼
garin 20 Dec 2010, 22:45
err what? so ur overclocking ur RAM to 4ghz? :D

After reading all these comments, I must understand this is gonna be a fucking beast for only €1.2k.. Thought a good PC was at least €2k worthy.
▼
mana 20 Dec 2010, 22:42
built mine with 400€ and i run cod4 @ stable 250fps loelz
Parent
▼
miXer 20 Dec 2010, 22:45
specs?! :O
Parent
▼
mana 20 Dec 2010, 22:49
2.6ghz dualcore
4gb ddr2 800mhz
radeon hd 4650 1gb

and it's liek 2 years old now, if youd bought it now it would cost something like 200€ lol. But no point, since new games require much more than cod4 :p i can still run them thou but with low fps.

And considering the fact that games will develope fast, your incoming system is perfect for upgrades, even thou you wont need them in few years lol.

Kenzi 20 Dec 2010, 23:27
As long as I could run Dofus and ET on 125 FPS, I'm fucking happy already.
Parent
▼
miXer 20 Dec 2010, 22:43
its a beast if you build it yourself ;D
save money :p
Parent
▼
mana 20 Dec 2010, 22:47
in here u can tell the shop to build it too + install OS + drivers, costs only liek 30€ more, and u get atleast 1 year warranty(dunno the word lol?) for the package
Parent
▼
miXer 20 Dec 2010, 22:51
I think I'm gonna build it myself :D
I can get a free OS from uni
I don't know about the drivers, I might have to update them myself? :{
Parent
▼
mana 20 Dec 2010, 22:53
you will get all the driver cd's/dvd's with the hardware, so it's not going to be hard after you've installed OS :)
Parent
▼
miXer 20 Dec 2010, 22:54
phew, at least thats good :D

Still running my E2160 (Released late Spring, 2007) @ 2.69ghz, feels good, man.
▼
mmmeL 20 Dec 2010, 22:55
1000W are useless.
▼
mana 20 Dec 2010, 22:57
not if he's someday going to update -> 2gfx
Parent
▼
miXer 20 Dec 2010, 23:02
i agree, one day :D
Parent
▼
garin 21 Dec 2010, 00:39
but still, OCZ / Corsair > Coolermaster .. could easily get one of those makes @ about 850W nP !
Parent
▼
miXer 21 Dec 2010, 00:48
are coolermaster PSU crap?
Parent
▼
garin 21 Dec 2010, 00:50
not crap necessarily, but 1000W + a less quality branded PSU = house fire :D .. trust me, get a corsair / OCZ

on the same note, that link i gave u to the topic where that guy had a 650W running a 4890 .. the experts on that forum said that he could even crossfire it up w/o any problems :p
Parent
▼
miXer 21 Dec 2010, 00:57
haha true, youve got a point there

ok im going for this now:
