    Re: Building a computer? Need advice/suggestions? Come here!

    ~$950-$1050 (with MiRs) Mid Range (Updated as of 9/2/09)
    $279.99 - CPU: Intel Core i7 920 2.66GHz
    $173.99() - Motherboard: Gigabyte Intel X58
    $140.99 - Memory (RAM): Crucial Ballistix Tracer 3x2GB DDR3 1333
    $224.99() - Graphics: EVGA GeForce GTX 275
    $89.99() - Power Supply: Corsair CMPSU 650W



    Okay, if I went with something like this, how well would it run on something that needs:
    * AMD Athlon 64 3000 or Intel CoreDuo 4000
    * 1GB RAM
    * Graphic Card GeForce 6600 or ATI Radeon X1550 256 MB
    * Sound Card Sound Blaster Audigy
    * DirectX 9
    * 16x DVD or 32x CD-ROM
    * 18 Gb free space on hard disk
    * Broadband link with uplink 256kbps, downlink 1024kbps

    Cause to be honest, I dont know jack shit about computers. But I do plan on building myself one. Also, is there a specific case I would have to buy to fit all of that? Or would I be able to scrap my old case. Really really wanna build a new pc this summer and don't wanna spend over 1,000 if I don't have to. Mind you, I did remove the hard drives and DVD burner from your list as I will just reuse what I already have.

    From how it looks, it would run very well.

    It looks like it would probably work.

    the proccessor got replaced by the 930, its the same price so you're getting an extra 140 MHz bump.

    Why are you choosing the GTX275, exactly? Unless you intend to replace it sooner rather than later, you should probably opt for one of the DX11 cards.

    Agreeing with Warsaw, wait for the GTX 400 series to either have DX11 or have DX10 for much cheaper.

    If you spend 80$ more, get the 5850, its a great card with dx11 and a gigantic bang for its buck!

    I'm expecting both the GTX470 and GTX480 to be well out of Plas's budget. The former will probably run around $450 to $500 with the latter reaching as high as $600-$650.
