OT: MY new Computer

[M.R.Maiornikov]

Hi guys i decided to purchase a new computer at my friend's company.

here are the specs: (it will cost me 2000$CAN with tax and all)

INTEL CORE 2 DUO E6420 2.13GHZ 4MB RETAIL
ASUS P5N32-SLI PREMIUM WIFI-AP NFORCE 590SLI
OCZ TITANIUM 2.0GB OCZ2T8002GK
SEAGATE 320GB SATA-300 7200RPM 16MB
BFG GF-8800GTS OC 320MB BFGR88320GTSOCE
LG DVDRW-18X DL GSA-H50NK *BLACK*
ANTEC SONATAII MID 450W *BLACK*
VIEWSONIC VX2035WM 20.1" WIDE 800:1 5MS SLV/BLK
Free assembly

So what do you think is it worth it?

I'm asking you because i'm a total noob when it comes to hardware.

spend a bit more and get the other version of the 8800 GTS (unless games will support 320mb of system ram) what kinda of case are you going to use?

yes but keep in mind that the GF8800 GTS will be factory overclocked.

and this will be the case

it is identical to what i have now

What does this have to do with RO?

 

[Thorpy]

I suppose this has lots to do with RO

His current pc might play RO like crap

So he wants to share with everybody his electronic goodness

Whores tbh

I don't know if you see but there is a magical "OT" in the title.

Looks OK to me and the price seems sort of fair (about​

On the power supply, didn't ATi just demo a video card that itself needed a 450w PSU? If you go dual card on that, you'd need 900w just for the video cards. Apparently video cards in the near-future will be getting more power greedy, rather than less. Something to consider if you want to keep this box in top form for 5-6 years.

There's a large chance that the 8800 wont fit in that case...it's kinda small.

ceriously? My 7800GTS fits in that box just fine But i will meet up with the guys tomorrow and will ask him all of this.Thanks for the comments guys.

The only recomendation i would make is to boost up that power supply, you got some heavy hardware that needs alot of current.

Can I make a suggestion to his site?
Its been around for a good time, and the configerations are pretty cheap.
But I am not sure about how well there warrenty is... or the quality of it...

where in canada do you live, i need to get me a new vid card so i might buy that 7800 gts off you, pm me its specs if yer willing to do away with it.( hey if ya live in manitoba then i can exchange that babie with you in person)

 

[M.R.Maiornikov]

well i upgraded my 2gb of ram to 4 gb for extra 50$ and he told me he could look for a 500w case but the 450w is enough.

sorry mate but the 7800GTS is installed on my bro's pc. That's why i'm getting my own, tired sitting in his room all the time I live in montreal BTW

I use the same HD and RAM, it's fine material.
The power supply might be a little low. I would double check that if I were you.

 

[Deeival]

Pick up one of those 2000W PSUs they just demoed at the CeBit

 

[M.R.Maiornikov]

ok here are my possible changes in the setup:

Intel Core 2 duo E6420 for Intel E6700

My geForce 8800GTS 320mb for a 640mb

Termaltake750 instead of Antec SonataII

And haven't decided yet on keeping the old motherboard (Asus P5N32) or change it to Intel 965 or 975x

And adding 2 gb of extra ram for a total of 4GB

 

[M.R.Maiornikov]

OK here's the final thing, already payed the first 1000$ today

Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 2.40GHZ 4MB (the max i can spend on it

)
ASUS P5N-E SLI NFORCE 650i
OCZ TITANIUM 2.0GB (total 2 so it would be 4 GB of RAM)
SEAGATE 320GB SATA-300 7200RPM 16mb
BFG GF-7950GT OC 512mb (decided to follow expert's advice and wait a little bit more before getting a dx10 compatible card)
LG DVDRW-18X DL GSA-H50NK BLACK
ANTEC TX1050B full 500w Black
Viewsonic vx2035WM 20.1" wide 800:1 5ms SLV/BLK

No turning back here so we can consider as this thread is closed
