Author Topic: I am making a PC  (Read 4209 times)

I need help with cutting down the price abit.

I have no real budget but, a smaller price tag would be nice.

I am pretty sure some parts are not compatible so can someone point out which aren't.

Odd, I will atempt to get it fixed.


If you want a GTX 260 get the one with 216 cores, not 192.

The EVGA 790i is not compatible with DDR2 memory. Get a 780i if you want EVGA.

You can get Razer Barracuda headphones for $70 on amazon. They are better than the Piranha.

You're paying too much for that RAM. All DDR2 1066 is pretty much the same in a brand. Pick what brand you want(Corsair OCZ and G-Skill are good choices) and pick the cheapest set of DDR2 1066(Or 1200 if you want the max a 780i can handle) with rebate.

Thanks otis :D

I want i7 but it is very expensive :l

Don't bother with i7 until next year.

I don't know whether your CPU cooler is good or not. I have a Zalman 9700CPS LED though. It's awesome.

That CPU is WAY TOO expensive for what it is. You don't need an extreme edition quad core. It's also an older Yorkfield model. If you're willing to spend that much you can get a good i7 for like $10 more. If not the e8400 or e8500 are good choices under $200.

Oh GOD, yea.

And do you really need a $250 case?

You could probably get some cheaper RAM too.

Also, if you do decide on i7 you'll need a different motherboard.

If you get the cheaper processors you can probably bump up your monitor to 24".

Your case doesn't seem worth the price.

I am going to go with the 1000 for the case instead, it is alot cheaper.

As for the CPU I guess I will change it, I might go for i7.

What do you plan on doing with this PC? Specifically what games and media crap.

You really don't need an i7 right now.

I just want to be able to play games in a very high quality. I will also be using it for machinima.

Well if you want to play Ultima IX on very high settings, meet Pentium 3.

Pfft my computer will still be better :o
