hoofhearted4 Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 so this will prolly be my last thread about my PC lol. i think if dwindled down the list as far as its gunna go. i think ive dropped like $300 or so from my original list, and if im able to build a PC by the end of the summer, itll prolly be this list. thanks to everyone who helped out in my countless threads. so without further ado, he is the final listing of my PC (i hope): MONITOR:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236067 PCI WIRELESS:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833320071 KEYBOARD:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16823126087 HDD/DVD:http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.667935 CASE/PSU:http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.662134 BOARD/CPU:http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.661572 CARD:http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.657873 the final price as of today (subject to change by the time im finally able to get it) is $979.97. ($859.89 + $98.91 warranties + $21.17 S&H) with $70 in rebates as well as some free Shogun game and something to do with Star Trek...woop de doo lol. I learned that combo deals kick ass lol anyways thanks again to everyone for putting up with me and helping me. its not quite as good as the original build i (we) had made, but i am still quite happy with it and hope i get to build it by summers end. in the end, life lesson...keep your eyes on the road.

Erik005 Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 It looks very good, I have got just one point though. The motherboard you have chosen has a very old chipset. An asrock 990FX AM3+ motherboard will ensure that if the new amd processors come out you can easily upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoofhearted4 Posted June 23, 2011 Author Share Posted June 23, 2011 i do not see an asrock 990fx AM3+ board. only Asus, msi, and some others, but no asrock, and they are all mad expensive (like close to $200) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hector530 Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 i do not see an asrock 990fx AM3+ board. only Asus, msi, and some others, but no asrock, and they are all mad expensive (like close to $200) cheapest 990fx board http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128510 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoofhearted4 Posted June 23, 2011 Author Share Posted June 23, 2011 (edited) yea that wouldnt be bad, but there are no combo deals. (just brings me straight to cart when i buy it) so in the end it ends up being a s*** ton more expensive. what are some other good boards? here is one i found. dunno if its good: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131631&cm_re=AM3%2b-_-13-131-631-_-Product if i can get a cheaper better one though i deff want it. this board unfortunately doesnt have a combo with any CPUs so id have to redo my combos around to find the best deals. if i can get another board/CPU combo that would be ideal. like if you guys could look at all the boards that that CPU combos with and pick out a good one, that would be great. hopefully no more then like $250, but ill consider all options. since im buying cheap, the ability to upgrade is deff something i need to have available. and with thee AMD bulldozer coming out hopefully soon, i might be upgrading to that down the road. lol i would really like for it to come out before i buy my PC!

hoofhearted4 Posted June 24, 2011 Author Share Posted June 24, 2011 sorry one more post/question. the RAM i already bought will work with this motherboard right? it says designed for intel boards, but from what ive read thats mostly a marketing gimmick, just making sure. RAM:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231426&cm_re=g.skill_8gb_ddr3-_-20-231-426-_-Product BOARD:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131757 im almost positive im all set. the RAM is 1333 and the board supports 1333 so ya. thanks guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iansutton91 Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Yeah, the RAM will work. As long as both are DDR3 and the board supports 1333...which it does. Methinks the whole "Designed for Intel -67" is just a gimmick...but I don't know a whole lot about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoofhearted4 Posted June 24, 2011 Author Share Posted June 24, 2011 yea, ive heard that thats just a marketing gimmick. my board supports 1333 so yea, i think im all set. so the updated list (changes only): BOARD:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131757 CPU/GPU:http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.670126 HDMI cord:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812189053 all the others are the same. im still quite happy about this build. its not bad by anymeans. i wish i could sunk in the extra cash like i planned just for the sake of it, but you have no arguments from me about this build, its upgradeable too which is important.
