svt_lightning Posted December 17, 2008 Author Share Posted December 17, 2008 will 2GB of ram be enough for me or would I need more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svt_lightning Posted December 18, 2008 Author Share Posted December 18, 2008 I try comparing what you have as your PC and what I'm buliding here and see how much do they compare to one another however as your going to see I cant find your CPU or your 80GB or 250GB HDD that your using but i think I'm pretty close to what you have here. Is your setup for extreme gaming? or just emulation? or other things? CPU= cant find yours MOBO=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131095 RAM=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820211066 GPU=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102064not sure if your using two of these or different ones HDD= can't find yours PSU=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102064I'm guessing here for the rest OS, case, burner not sure but those aren't important and how do you like your AMD 64? better then intel or same?

svt_lightning Posted December 18, 2008 Author Share Posted December 18, 2008 well please tell me where and how much your CPU and HDD were I might look into your setup if you don't mind b/c here is my "setup" that I made and I want to see what will do the job for me and save me money in the long run. CPU=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116072 MOBO=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131350 RAM=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820211066 GPU=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125244 HDD=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148262 PSU=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817182067 case=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811129042 now I'm not putting up wth XP-home or the burner b/c those are giving for me but my total with my setup is $631 including the XP and burner I like to be less if it's possible b/c I still need the key board and mouse plus bracket to hold my tv and HDMI cable. however how much do you think your setup cost? and which of the two setups are better I'm assuming yours b/c you know what your doing plus I think your doing more then just playing emulation gaming but if I can have your setup without some of the fancy stuff you might have which I might not need tell me heck I might save some cash man thanks!

ken_cinder Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 I built mine over a year ago, it's 'outdated' as far as current tech goes. And yes 2GB will do you just fine, you could put in 4GB (But know that with a 32bit OS, you won't see all 4GB) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes 2GB will do you just fine, you could put in 4GB (But know that with a 32bit OS, you won't see all 4GB) that's fine but I'm sure they have the newer models or styles to your like the AMD CPU I think this is your updated one but hey if make a kit like yours and spend less money in the process then I wont mind making one like yours CPU= http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16819103773or this onehttp://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16819103255 which one of these would be more of what I'm going to be doing?

ken_cinder Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Switch to an AMD processor, and you're going to have to look at a whole new range of motherboards. If you're settled on your graphics card, using DDR2 and not DDR3 (Nothing wrong with not using DDR3) and everything else besides CPU+Motherboard combination, I have no problems suggesting an AMD platform for you. Just can't keep bouncing around on what you want the core part of your system to be. You either want Intel or AMD. Intel you can go with Socket 775 or 1366, AMD has AM2 and AM2+. 1366 and AM2+ are the newest (and most expensive) chips, that almost always support DDR3 based platforms. Settle on AMD or Intel, DDR2 or DDR3 and I'll recommend something and after that it's up to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

svt_lightning Posted December 18, 2008 Author Share Posted December 18, 2008 but can u tell me of the two links i sent u for the AMD cpu that which one will suit me for emulation playing with online emu too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken_cinder Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Both will do just fine, but the 6000+ is the more powerful of the two. It also eats 3x as much power however, and costs a bit more. I'd go with the other one really. Upgrade it later when the top end CPU your motherboard supports is much cheaper. This motherboard is a prime choice to go with it - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16813131172 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svt_lightning Posted December 19, 2008 Author Share Posted December 19, 2008 ok that is a great MOBO that you picked out.... I picked some AMD CPU's for you to check out and tell me which one will give me the more bang for my dollar, for what I'm going to use my PC for a course this one that you said yes will work wellhttp://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16819103255 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16819103214 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16819103239 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16819103211 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16819104319 I know some of them are single core, but so I heard that doesn't really matter until your doing some heavy duty stuff let me know what you think.
