quad core is still useless
Parent
▼
wsk 26 Mar 2008, 09:20
Maybe, but if u buy a new pc today I would still go for it for "teh future". you can ofc also use a dual core and just buy quadcore later (as its the same socket, mobo update might be needed)
Parent

dEzIrE 26 Mar 2008, 09:23
true & the new E8xxx or smth from INtel are pretty nice afaik
Parent

bira 26 Mar 2008, 12:29

Parent

bira 26 Mar 2008, 13:13

phobeus 26 Mar 2008, 09:15
thanks but i dont think this is the best for 800 €
▼
bira 26 Mar 2008, 12:29
do u know how much beer u get for the other 300?! cmon its not worth spending that much on a PC :P btw, make sure u buy new PSU or your other will choke :)

dEzIrE 26 Mar 2008, 09:16
hmm maybe, sometimes i have that my screen just actually freezes, even when im doing nothing or when screensaver is on, mayb its that
▼
phobeus 26 Mar 2008, 09:18
:) well i want the best pc for this money, becuz i dont want to buy new things for every fucking year :<
▼
wsk 26 Mar 2008, 09:19
I want a new pc too. I got the money, but somehow I'm still waiting for the best point of time, which is never gonna be there.
▼
phobeus 26 Mar 2008, 09:22
im thinking of

xfx 8800 gt
intel core 2 duo E6750 (2x2.67Ghz)
some good ram

and i dont know which motherboard is the best for these things :<
Parent
▼
wsk 26 Mar 2008, 09:34
I think for normal users the motherboard isnt really that important as long as it just "works". I would buy one that supports pcie2.0 though
Parent

bira 26 Mar 2008, 12:30
its important that the buss's on the motherboard are of quallity :)

I'm buying new computer too, it'll cost only 245€ and it'll be GOOD one. Don't waste all of your money, everything doesn't have to be expensive to be good ;)

Imo you should also buy a power supply, since you won't have enough with 350 or 400 watt.

Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 (160€)
MSI P35 Neo2-FIR (80€)
OCZ 4GB (2x2GB) PC6400, CL4 (90€)
Club3D Radeon HD 3870 X2 (1GB) (320€)
Creative X-Fi XtremeMusic (60€)
Samsung Spinpoint F1 750GB (100€)

= 810€

The mobo was the "worst" part, so you could upgrade on that if you have more money.

Graphics card is best choice, Sound card is optional.

i said he is the best
Parent

Ronner 26 Mar 2008, 11:38
unless he's going to run vista, 4 gig is useless so make that 2 gig of PC8500, CL4

you dont need a seperate soundcard really. most mobo's have decent enough soundcards.

I myself would go for a 8800GT 512mb instead. Cheaper and performs incredibly well for it's price.

The hdd is the best choice idd. Best space/price ratio atm and the spinpoints are quite silent as well.

As a powersupply, take the Antec Earhtwatts 420. Stable PSU with enough power to run those specs and it's also very silent.

8800GT is indeed a very nice card for price/quality, but 3870 X2 is simply better performing. I like to put my money in graphic cards rather than something else. But if the setup would include a power supply then I would indeed opt for 8800GT.

As for the power supply, the Zalman 600watt or 500watt is pretty neat too, worth considering.

Imo your 420watt is a bit too low for the setup we have here. If the power supply is being forced, it could badly damage all the components of your pc. And I have seen this happen multiple times.

The ram is just to be sure for the future, it's CL4, and OCZ which guarantees the best quality there is in ram.

For the soundcard, it's what he requested :D
I'd never buy a soundcard myself since the ones on-board are good enough. But when you have an all-surround system (with quality, no 15cm plastic boxes) then this is a must buy.

Ronner 26 Mar 2008, 12:07
On peak-usage that setup would consume about 250 to 270 watts (calculated using antec's PSU consumption calculator). The 420 watts will do more than fine. Check my profile and have a look at my mediacenter. It runs just fine with a 380 watts antec earthwatts psu and my normal PC runs just fine with the 420 watts version of it and both are more demanding when it comes to power consumption.

people tend to overkill on their powersupply's, but instead they should be looking at the stability of their powersupply.

As for the vidcard, sure the 3870x2 performs better, but at what cost? You can pick up an 8800GT for around 170 euro's. Plus I just tend to pick nvidia over ati, simply cuz ati's drivers suck cock :)

Krosan 26 Mar 2008, 17:23
I don't think this is a software problem. Check out your driver-cd for any monitoring programs or check out the manufacturer's website for monitoring programs. Test out what the temperature is after playing 15 minutes, and if it's too high, consider either calling the help center of your manufacturer, or installing custom cooling on your gfx card. Make sure it isn't your cpu that's getting too hot (the monitor program should show you that).
Different manufacturers for the same gfx chipset just means very small performance differences but mostly the extras that are supplied with it. Extra games, software, more output-jacks, ...
▼
Krosan 26 Mar 2008, 17:33
Your windows & bios automatically shut your pc down (or sleep mode) when your PU's get too hot.

Monitoring programs are:

ATITool (ATI GPU's)
CoreTemp (http://www.alcpu.com/CoreTemp/)
PC Wizard 2008 (http://www.cpuid.com/pcwizard.php)
