CommanderCrazy Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 There is a lot of time to sit, think and stew over the details and budget, but I am getting ideas on the brands at least. GRAPHICS: Something from AMD this time I think. Unless, of course, Nvidia comes out with some quad GPU based monster or something. :P PROCESSOR: Thinking quad core. Most likely an intel. CASE: Definately a Thermaltake. Cant go wrong with them. PSU: Antec. MOTHERBOARD: Now, this is the tricky part. I am completely undecided, but it really hangs on which processor I decide. AMD has specific socket layouts, for their processors, where intel also does for theirs. Have to wait and see for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CommanderCrazy Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 (edited) My above list is pure speculation at the moment. I still need to see what products are out closer to the purchase time.

Fonger Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 (edited) isn't 1333 memory a bit slow or why not 1600 but Bus Clock Rate (MHz) 1066 (PC3 8500) should be out of the question entirely Edited February 27, 2011 by Fonger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Illiad86 Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 Are you sure you wanna go for an AMD G.Card? They aint that perfomance-wise. :rolleyes: Sure... I'm not upgrading at all for any games this year, I'm already set IMO. I'll be ready for Skyrim...it doesn't look THAT crazy. Remember, it's going to be on the consoles...if they run on the consoles, they'll run on most of our computers very well. Until they come out with a new console...then we'll talk.

CommanderCrazy Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 Early to late 11 is planned, if I can get it in before Skyrim, even better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
