 Posted: Thu Jun 03, 2010 6:29 pm Post subject: Building a New Computer |
 |
|
Would like some help building a new computer.
I have an $850 budget including taxes so $750 computer without tax. Meaning total cost should be $750.
-Would like lots of ram. (Running lots of games at the same time. Multi-Botting.)
-Preferred (Video Card - 256MB Geforce 7800+ or Radeon X1900+) For playing HoN. 
-Processor (Processor - 2.0GHz Core 2 Duo / AMD 3500+ or faster) Also for HoN.
-Reccomended requirements for SC2
ATI Radeon HD 3870 | Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 | 2048 MB
-Any decent sized HDD is fine. (500GB or higher is reccomended.)
-Case doesn't have to be fancy but the more quiet the better.
Rest you can decide.
Also using these 2 sites is preferred:
http://www.tigerdirect.ca/
http://canadacomputers.com/
Because they're the closest stores that sell computer parts for cheap.
Also, please and thank you very much. :>

Unless you have a fucking huge monitor@ 2560x1600, you can totally play HoN on a cardboardbox.
HoN is single threaded btw, so you would get shittier fps on a lower clock quadcore compared to a higher clock triplecore, dual core.

BUT YOU AREN'T IN CANADA.
Like, the mobo cpu combo I am going to buy, COSTS 100 BUCKS MORE. What the hell canada, what the hell? You should cross the boarder and order stuff in america. You can do better.

well, that saves 25 bucks on the dvd drive at least. Will report with an ok build. You said either intel or AMD, but which do you really like more? AMD may be better since shit costs more in canada.

| Here is an ok AMD build. attached. Fits the budget. You can pick the case on your own. Not even sure if they tax canada so a zip could would help.

Goes over my budget by $40 including taxes and shipping. We could lower the video card a bit since I'm not all that of a hardcore gamer. (I don't play any FPS/TPS.)

You want to know the sad part? That GFX card is about 40 bucks cheaper in america ;-;. I'd just swamp that with a 4850 then. Or a lower 5xxx series.
