ShinDoBoIx SG Hi guys I would like to ask which parts to buy to built up a CPU. Main purpose is to play some online games like Dota, Deco online and stuff. What are the spects needed ?
ndmmxiaomayi SG Processor, motherboard, hard disk, keyboard, mouse, graphics card (if motherboard doesn’t come with an integrated one), monitor, CD/DVD drive.
kenn3th SG The Most Essential Parts are: Ram, Graphics And Processor. Add on a proper cooling system. Processor: Core2Duo >2.0Ghz should be fine Ram: 2x 2GB DDR2 Graphics: GeForce 8800 MotherBoard: Up to you CDRW:Toshiba LightScribe DVD±RW (to burn pics into your disc) PSU: 500W Mouse: Razer Keyboard:Razer Casing: up to you Cooling System: Maybe 2 fans at the sides of casing and 2 at the back or water cooled system. Quite Perfect For Games and can last quite long before you need to upgrade, For word processing + photoshop wouldnt cause much lag.
orionlight SG What's your budget first?No budget no talk .Kenneth, your system is way at the high end, need at least 2.6k
kenn3th SG After 2 unsuccessful attempts to post my research, i have decided not to redo it again. My first bundle was $23xx while my second try was @ $33xx Tips: Get 2gb Ram>> Up to you it could cost about $500 for overclocked game rams Razer Diamondback ($65) + Razer Keyboard ($1xx) / can sub with Logitec's Gaming mouse and key at $xxx A Game Casing >> $2XX (confirmed with hwz) Graphics>> Go for lower end like dedicated 256mb or 384mb, nt the 8800 unless u are damm rich ($2xx to 4xx) Monitor>> 19inch LG 4ms delay ($4xx) Up to you if u want fast frames if not just stick to your old monitor HDD>> Above 250GB ($2xx) SoundCard>> Creative (high end) ($4xx) Vista premium >> Saw at hwz oem at $1xx+ ASUS P5B-Plus Vista Edition (Intel 965P) DDR2-800MHz Intel® Core2 Quad/ Extreme/ Duo ready - Intel® Pentium® Extreme/ Pentium® D support - Dual-channel DDR2 800/ 667/ 533 - All High-quality Conductive Polymer Capacitors $266
kenn3th SG In short the best buy is to get a dell with warranty, some of these do come with life time (ram, hdd) , few years limited warranty but you will have lots of different cards to send out and to keep, you might lose track of some. shops also charge for installation of hardware ect. on top of the price of the hardware, you need to pay more
ndmmxiaomayi SG Basically, hunt around all shops to pay the least. I managed to build a pretty high end one for about 1000+ bucks.
LatecomerX SG Eh, just to add on, the casing is something you'll need to consider as well, especially if you are upgrading your system relatively frequent (for ease of casing removal), an overclocking enthusiast (aerodynamics for efficient cooling) or a LAN party go-er (aluminium, mATX one would be convenient).
