if you're not going to use it for uber stuff then just take 2GB ram (like i did) unless you're planning on running vista, then stick to 4gb. Not too sure about the processor.. maybe it's better you take a dual core? since quadcores still are not fully integrated. gl

schNee 6 Dec 2008, 13:14
im using 2.3gb atm
its enough for the things me do.. its just the motherboard what is extremly old at my pc

schNee 6 Dec 2008, 13:33

xp should only use 400-800mb ever i think, vista eats ram and you using 2bg or do you mean you have 2gb?

schNee 6 Dec 2008, 13:11

Parent

crittie 6 Dec 2008, 13:15
since u need it for old games like cs and et, E8400 is more than enough.

I would go for some ATI graphic card but then u should change the mobo too. (not sure though)

@schnee if you make these hardware threads during the day or at weekends, you're going to get a lot of shit responses. Actually my advice is monitor the "Who's Online" section and wait for the Israelis to disappear, and then post

it's the best value for money processor available right now
Parent

pala 6 Dec 2008, 13:41
its the cheapest quad core avi, and the best quad for OCing, one of the only different between this and the others are the clock speed, which u can OC and easly outperform others

i got my new pc 2 weeks ago , and i'm also not planning to play ubergames but i can still run new games. if you want my advice for a processor , take intel dual core e8400 or 8500. and a gfx card.. try sapphire hd4850, great quality , low price. the only shitty thing about it is that it heats alot but besides that it's great equipment

Change the GPU cooler if you're so worried about the temperatures. We all know that ATI stock cooler are not that good.
Parent

OfficerCohen 6 Dec 2008, 13:20

schNee 6 Dec 2008, 13:23

OfficerCohen 6 Dec 2008, 13:26

and power supply to corsair AND add some cooling :o
Parent

schNee 6 Dec 2008, 13:27

Parent
▼
OfficerCohen 6 Dec 2008, 13:29

Intel c2d e7200
ATi hd4850
Corsair 2GB 800mhz
Corsair 550W
WD 640GB
ASUS P5Q
random case + random optical driver

will do the job

Yoy0 6 Dec 2008, 13:25
seems a lot better

and upgrade E7200 to E8400 if you want somthing better + random rad for OC
Parent

dejx 6 Dec 2008, 13:27
bet she won't even try to o/c it. And agree that E8400 would fit into that more as 7200

Insu 6 Dec 2008, 13:20
And just say no for msi mainboards. Like their laggy and buggy bios works...

pala 6 Dec 2008, 13:34
+1, had enough bad experience with them, i switched my p5-neo for gigabyte(no that i had a choice for an other mobo, but its MUCH better)
Parent

keep the Q6600, the only duo i find is decent is the E8600 which costs too much atm compare to his brothers, which i dont like...
and take 8800GT / HD4850( i dont know much about this card) instead of 260GTX, its more than what you need and 8800GT can handle up any games currently avi
▼
seconddd 6 Dec 2008, 14:32
8800's are old compared by the 4850 and 4870.

- take a core2duo, not quad = E8xxx
- the chipset of your motherboard is not that good, take P35/P45 = Asus P5Q Pro
- 260gtx graphic card is USELESS, unless your playin on 40'' monitor = take a 9800gtx or ATI 4850
