Duck's New PC Thread

[Duckmeister]

I'm finally getting a new PC.  My current PC is a Pentium 4 3.2GHz with a Geforce 7600 GT.  Talk about suck.

This is the new one I'm getting, going to build it.

I GOT IT YESTERDAY!

It is nice. I am also getting a new PC for Christmas. Read my signature for more information.

Also the one I have now sucks more than the one you have atm.

One more thing to say! Why only a 300gb Harddrive?

Mine probably sucks more than yours. So wait, is a sound card essential for gaming?

Are you sure? What are you specifications?

Motherboard: If you're not planning on having more than one GPU, look for a different one.

Hard Drive: No. 300 GB + 10,000 RPM is just...no. You can get a Seagate Barracuda 7200 RPM 1.5 TB HDD for less.

GPU: XFX, no. nonono. Get an EVGA nVidia card (not sure if EVGA does ATi, but XFX is baaaad.)

Sound Card: Are you seriously gonna use this? Why not just use the integrated sound card on the motherboard?

Remember, this is just my opinion on this stuff.

I have this. I suggest it.

[Righteous One]

Another opinion -
Unless you plan to overclock, the stock heatsink should be fine


Edit:

You shouldn't need a graphics card as powerful as that, just another opinion

I do too, that's why I recommended it to him. Cept, mine takes like 10 seconds to spin up (not sure if this happens with all of them).

wat

It's powerful for a reason.

Yeah, but what the hell is he going to use it for? He could run SLi or CF for cheaper.

[Osak]

Are you sure? What are you specifications?

Integrated Graphics card(Can barely run counter-strike and HL2, less than 8 or 10 fps).
Integrated sound card(can't record sound from it).
Intel Pentuim 4 3.0 GHz

[Osak]

I think it's good, the more better, the more "lasting".

My sound card's integrated, and I can record sound from it, using Stereo Out Mix...
Then again, I do have some Dolby Home Theater (IDT) integrated sound chip.

[Righteous One]

Urrr.. wat

That is a great graphics card, jus' saying he could run SLi or CF cheaper and probably better
