New PC for Adogg?

Not bad... might want to think about bumping up that PSU though... I've heard thats a good processor. Actually that's the one I'm getting in my new build.

there is definitely not enough lights though

i've bought from them before... a decent option if you don't want to go through the build... that's my favorite part though.

A few thoughts:

1. The system is Liquid cooled. Are you sure you want this?
2. The Video card is the 520. I do not think you want this low of a video card. Your 8800GTS will probably run faster for you then the 520. I may be wrong on that. I'd recommend that you look into the 460 at least. You can get a refurbished 470 off of the EVGA B-stock site for $179 when they go on discount.
3. The PSU is too small. If you are looking to get a 460 or bigger, you might want to bump this too at least 650W or more.

Otherwise, all looks good.

that b-stock site is tits... got my new MB there.

which board?

I'd go with more power and at least the 460 card, running a 600 w supply with no issues.

Glad to see that card working out for you. I just rebuilt a PC for a client with that card. It benched fairly well for the $170 price tag.

Adogg here is the EVGA card I'd recommend. $169 after MIR.

hey, butzie. sup, jerk?

,.;:'"~`()*&^%$#@

Holy punctuation jerk...

lol//,:.P

Honestly Adogg unless you're going with a uber high-end modder, most of those pre-constructed gaming rigs are complete garbage and you get screwed in the end. For example with that above linked PC the chassis, drive, mainboard (if there was ever a dollar-store quality mainboard it's that entire line of MSI X58's), PSU, GPU and CPU cooler are all junk. The only decent component on there is the CPU, in reality that PC is a headache waiting to happen.

I know you said you weren't going to build your own PC this time around but you will get much more bang for your buck if you do so. If you want I can help you out with whatever is needed from construction to configuration... on the phone or whatever method.

With a $1000 budget I put this system together for you:



This rig will run circles around the above linked PC, it will be rock solid stable and it will last you for years to come (there is no comparing the two). I know the build slightly exceeds $1000 but you would receive $60 in Egg rebates and the config can easily be brought down under a $1000 by selecting a less expensive chassis and or downgrading the GPU (I selected that chassis because it was a awesome deal w/ the combo and it's a quality case with good cable management and air flow). You can downgrade to GPU to something like a GTX560Ti which is a very solid card but since you like playing games like BC2 and you're looking forward to BF3... I would strongly recommend a card with a memory buffer that exceeds 1GB.

I can also help you out with things like a quality CPU cooler (I have a few Thermalright Venomous X's left) and the OS (W7 whatever build you prefer) that I can give to you.

Sure you could always do that as well. What chipset board do you have, actually if you could just link it or list what model # it is.

The thing is though you're not going to want to buy a new LGA775 chip, you would be better off buying a used one from ebay or similar vendor. If you bought a brand new decent performing 775 quad it would cost a $100 more than the i5 2500k that I linked with about half of the processing performance potential.

LGA 775 - Q6600

That's not a very fast chip nowadays, it would bottleneck today's newer GPU's. He needs something along the lines of a Q9550 or Q9650.

Your mouth can bottleneck...

when you coming back to UAN?
