My New Pc Thread

ok its gonna be awhile before i actually start buying the parts but id like to get a good idea of what you guys think too.

basically i want a ultimate gaming and media pc
i have a budget of $2500 so i can build just about whatever i want

You can make one kick ass system with that kinda chash :drool:

Stop copying me :(

Look in my thread. I have the same budget.

yea maybe you can get SAME computer :o :)

ggggrrrrrrrreaaaaaaaaaaaatttttt another 20 something pages on building a pc

for that budget you can get

amd 3200 barton
9800xt
160GB hdd
and the best stuff in every category

I doubt you can get the best in every category.

$2500 = about £1500

My PC is cosing £1,100 or something.

So if he got best speakers + best sound card (around £300) that brings him to £1,400. 2gb of RAM over my 1gb brings to about £1,500. Plus the highest in every other category going.

I think not.

for 2500? yes u could...i would so some research for you but im gonna go get some money fixing somebodys computer...they said theri burner isnt working

most expensive mobo at new egg=116
most expenisve amd = 324
most expensive hdd = 292
most expensive rams = 289
and 500 for gfx card

that total up to be 1521 dollars....leave him w/ 1000 left for monitor, keyboard, mouse, fans, lights, and psu.

dont need speakers, just got the logitech z-560's for christmas, dont need mouse or keyboard either got a new mouse for christmas and my keyboard is still fairly new.

im thinking about getting a p4 3.2 and a top of the line vid card, sound card, motherboard, ram.

but the cost of all the parts right now are around $2300 so i have a couple hundred to play with.

2300!??!!? thats 2 much....specially if you already have good speakers....post full specs here? cuz if you're planning on gaming, better get an amd, its better for gaming

how can a p4 3.2 with a top of the line vid card not be good for gaming???

from waht i hear, and from reading reviews, amd are better for gaming....and faster than p4 in daily uses....and for much less

the things i gave you are the most expensive things i can find at newegg and you still have 1000 left on a nice monitor, mouse, keyboard, etc...

and i said most EXPENSIVE, not nessecary the best, just the most expensive.

We already have another thread about this very thing and Dawg's 400 page opus on how to assemble it.
Isn't there already enough data around here to make some decisions already?

can i have links to the benchmarking?? please

What benchmarking?

the benchmarks that show the p4 3.2/amd comparisons

computerfreak can i use your sig as my sig ? i want to see that clip everytime i post someting....which mean ill see that clip a lot

EDIT: im gonna test to see if it work, if it does ill take it down until u say i can.

2nd Edit: it work...so??????? can i?

sure i only had it on there for adster anyways ive been meaning to take it down,lol

Jesus Christ Britney (if that is her) looks fine as hell in that Gif.

hehe ty, i love my new sig... :D

yeah its her, adster said its from that crossroads movie she is in

everytime i see her in that clip i just wanna bend her over and fuck her in the ass...HARD!

anywayz..... :lol: :lol:

so are you going w/ p4? you could save a lot of money going amd...but if i were you, i wouldnt spend all that money on a comp...maybe 1500, that will still let you play any games you want at max setting and 1000 for any thing else you need/want

THATS From the Crossroads movie?

Dear god, no wonder people went to go see that.

im not sure yet, this new comp is going to be a multimedia comp as well, and ive heard the hyper threading is sweet and im quite a multitasker.

if its for multi media, then yea, i think you should go w/ p4....but to blow all that money on one comuter.... :unsure: :unsure: :unsure:

also im gonna end up turning my pc into my home entertainment center too

:o A p4 or amd are arguments that will go on forever. Here is some benchmarks for you... Let us know what you get... What ever it is it will be nice.

where do u see a p4 and amd arguement?

He's saying this could easily turn into one.

But from that review, I found this page.

http://www20.tomshardware.com/cpu/20...lon_64-52.html

Those are all top TOP of the line comps, AMD and Intel, right around your price range. :D

nice link, john....

if im not wrong, i think there was a site where you could go and put what you wanted ur pc to be (gaming, media editing, etc), then you'd select price range (or maximum spendable money) and it gave you some combos...

anyone have a page like this?
