My New Rig!

[Adnan959]

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 ) 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

nice specs... good luck with it

 

[Adnan959]

Thnx

Any suggestions on the RAM? Since I'm kind of on a budget atm.

 

[na33m]

you said you are atm on budget , so how much exactly do you have ,
anyway i will say that you should buy 800mhz , buy the 1gb stick first then if you can later afford it buy another one too

 

[haroonshaikh]

Where Are U Getting The Motherboard From?
Is It Available In Pak?

 

[A.Rafay]

buy corsair RAM, 800Mhz if u'll do overclocking... otherwise stick with 667Mhz

 

[haroonshaikh]

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.

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!
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 .

 

[Adnan959]

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.

 

[superlative56]

nice rig adnan. Buy Kingston 2gb 667MHZ works fine

 

[haroonshaikh]

great dude.
srilanka is great.
I had friends in my skool from srilanka . too bad we got separted due to university.
so wat u upto at srilanka?

 

[Muaaz]

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

 

[Adnan959]

Yep cheapest I can get, thinking of 7200.

 

[A.Rafay]

^ yeah buy it... Kaam chalao

lol don't say that..at least you can get the coconuts and coconut oil at cheap rates?

BTW can you tell me your final rig specs which you are going to buy? as I don't want to read the text on the previous page(s)...

 

[Adnan959]

Sure, nothing has changed from the above pretty much.

GA-P35-DS3R Motherboard
20" LCD
2Gigs of RAM @ 800Mhz - No spcific model in mind just yet.
PSU - 500Watts
