t3hf4ll0ut Posted May 8, 2009 Posted May 8, 2009 Hi. I've done some research, and I've thought long and hard on what I should do with all of these problems on my current computer. Every time I fix a problem, two more show up. I've decided to build my own new computer, but I want to know what parts I should get. I have a laptop, so I will take a Step-by-Step tutorial on building my first computer. (Wish me luck on that btw!) The Parts I know to Get: CPU (What type of CPU should I get?)PSU (750watts)RAM (obviously.. how much should I get?)Motherboard (With PSI Express: What type of motherboard should I get?)CD-Rom (I have NO IDEA on this one.)Windows Vista (I'd assume I need x64 for the ammount of RAM i'm getting)Large Case Video Card (GTX295)Sound Card (On board) If I'm missing anything, that probably means I have no clue on what to get, so start recommending, fellow Nexus!

pwnedbyscope Posted May 9, 2009 Posted May 9, 2009 get an asus board I forget what kind my friend has, lol, but it is one that allows you to log on to the internet w/out booting your hard drive. I find out later the name... AMD athalon 3.0ghz CPU around $120Nvidia Geforce 8800gt 256mb integrated GDDR54gb DDR3 1066mhz. RAM, preferable Kingston 500 gb HDD 7600 rpm 42X? blueray W/ light scribe you may want to get a separate cpu fanas well as thermal grease let me know if I missed anything
Thor. Posted May 9, 2009 Posted May 9, 2009 If he's going for a gaming rig thats kind of low end, i had a pair of 8800gts 320mb, trust me not a good choice.
pwnedbyscope Posted May 9, 2009 Posted May 9, 2009 yea kinda forgot he was building a desktop, been on laptop mode for a while srry.
t3hf4ll0ut Posted May 9, 2009 Author Posted May 9, 2009 Really? I thought a GTX295 was only $500? To be honest, I don't really have a budget at the moment. I'm going to run down to Best Buy and browse there tommorow. I'm pretty much seperating good from bad. If I had to say, $1,800 is my max.
Thor. Posted May 9, 2009 Posted May 9, 2009 Guess what i found one for around 600?. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16814130473 they must have fallen in price.
t3hf4ll0ut Posted May 9, 2009 Author Posted May 9, 2009 What is the difference between http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00...66-rg2304-00-20 and that other one?
