Hiya folks!

So since the 360 idea went back, I thought of getting a PC first.

So here are the rough specs, which I got the prices of. Please let me know what you guys think.

P.S. This is meant to be primarily for gaming, but I'll be getting the GPU later on.



C2D E6750
2GB of DDR2 RAM (@ 667 or 800 Mhz....Help me decide :p) Don't know which brand yet.
250GB of HDD
GA-P35-DS3R
20" LCD
500Watt PSU...For now
GPU: Cheapest 7 series card I can find, that will let me run at 1680x1050 :frown:

Let me know.... Thanks :)

i agree with Beginner
get a 800Mhz ram of corsair.
then u can easily clock ur E6750 from 2.66 to 3.2Ghz on stock cooling by changing the frequency from 333 to 400.
and it will now be working on 1:1 (fsb:ram ).

Thanks for the replies. :D

Well I'm in Sri Lanka atm and that mobo is availible here, so thats what I'm gonna grab. Considering I ain't running SLI or anything, so yeah. Its got all the latest shit we gamers need, 1333mhz FSB, supports 1066mhz of RAM with upto 8gigs xD, its a P35 board, has a PCI-e slot (which is enough for me) and ITS VISTA APPROVED! :p
Funny thing is, in THIS video, the guy shows off a different version and at the very end of the vid he shows this board and it has DDR3 slots aswell but for some reason they've removed those now. :(

800Mhz it is then ;), coz I will consider o/c'ing in the future when I get a high end GPU in it. I was thinking of going Quad, but I don't have enough $$$ so I'm gonna get the E6750.

Will be selling the one I'm using right now by Wed/Thurs and will probably get the new rig on Saturday, after Eid (inshallah).

Nice specs ! As for GPU Id suggest the 7900GS - you'll get it in ur budget and its an amazing card . There's one already on sale on PG for $115 . As for RAM get a 2 gig DDR 2 Corsair RAM . Its the best .

I'm kind of a DX10 nut. 8 Series FTW! 9 series soon....

I really hope i can get Corsair, because there are tons of availability issues here, Kingston is definitely available but I want Corsair. We'll see how it goes.

A personal advice about the GPU - DO NOT but a video card at the moment - let the 9 series come so the prices of the previous ones drop and you would be able to get a pretty cheap 8 series card that you want . Buying a video card atm is a sheer loss of money and plain stupidity .

You're right there, if the GTX gets cheap enough then I got myself a good deal there.



Thanks again for the replies!

P35 chipset doesn't have builtin graphics... so he must buy a GPU now, buy any cheap Geforce7 series card or ATI 1000 series ones

    PS 5 Pro announced today. While I was impressed with the value - 4K at 60 FPS in quality mode for recent games, the price is too high. PS4 Pro cost just $399 at launch. The price of the PS5 Pro version seems to show Sony is returning to its haughty attitude of the PS3 era. I think the console with a disk drive will cost $1000-$1200 in Pakistan. For most, PC gaming onlyis increasingly becoming a more attractive proposition.

    They could have shipped all these SP sequels on PC as well. But they wanted a piece of the PC market AND the live service market at the same time. I think that turned out a bit too much for them.

    Aside from this, Sony and PS5 could have been great even with sequels to existing games like Ghost of Tsushima, Uncharted, GOW, TLOU, Infamous, LBP/Sackboy, maybe dead ones like Resistance, Jak, etc. It seems that they've been trying to focus on the live service model instead at the cost of SP games and exclusivity. It hasn't worked out well (except for Helldivers 2) and most of this gen is over. I don't see the point of this divergence from their established brand and strategy, especially at the cost of new SP games, few of which will now see the light of day this gen.

  • SolitarySoldier SolitarySoldier:
    Sure, big shots like RDR2 and Elden Ring are also great and I love them as much as the next person but at some level, I feel like I can get something close to that in movies and TV. There's something unique about great platformers in terms of stress-free/joyful interactivity and immersion that a heavy story or challenging gameplay doesn't have. Again, the latter is great too but the former more accurately defines gaming for me.
    Link
  • SolitarySoldier SolitarySoldier:
    Astro Bot will redeem PS5 for me. Ratchet and Astro Playroom did it as well. I may have a preference for platformers but this kind of pure fun games is what gaming started out as and what remains the most enjoyable part of it for me.

    Yeah, Concord & Suicide Squad were utter failures due to being woke as hell. These western devs keep digging their own graves. They don't get the message that the masses don't want woke nonsense in games (or any other entertainment medium for that matter). Japanese games are less woke than American ones, but they're still not completely woke-free because they mostly target American audience. If you want truly unwoke content, try Chinese & Korean games. Black Myth: Wukong & Steller Blade are two of the biggest hits in gaming recently, and they came from China & Korea respectively. They're all the rage these days & completely free from this woke nonsense. I reckon American studios have no future in gaming unless they change their ways. Asian studios on the other hand are on the path to success. Not only is this great for gamers in general. It is also great for us Asians. :cool:

    Also, it's not just Capcom. Almost all Japanese devs are doing a stellar job and keeping the gaming world alive - FromSoft, Namco, and Nintendo. American/European developers have turned a blind eye to what gamers want and solely focus on squeezing maximum amount from gamers. They suck!
    Link
  • L LegacyGamerGuy:
    I believe Sony America should shut down and converted to Sony Japan. Then we can expect good quality games and not woke propaganda. One of the reasons for failure of Concord as per Reddit comments is woke/gay characters with they/them pronouns. Same is the reason Overwatch 2 has been a failure - they are targeting the wrong target market.
