New Comp (1 Viewer)

[happii]

hey guys. just got a job and have some cash to spend and am decing to upgrade. just wondering some basic options in what i should do. im prob wanting a completely new one, im gonna keep my hard drive so thats sorted. but regarding cpu, motherboard, graphics adn that what should i be looking at. like price and products. N.B. it would be mainly for gaming and possible high mem usage programs.

thanks

what's your budget?

Probably best to ask the polite geeks down in the whirlpool forums.

I'm getting a new compy soon, probably when nvidia release their next gen cards which I hear should be 'round November

-Basic mobo Asus or Gigabyte brand with pci-e: $90
-Good Graphics card pci-e: $150 (8600gt) 0r can go low as $70 (2400pro)
-Ram 1gig (2x512): $80
-CPU AMD x2 or Core 2 Duo roughly: $150
-Computer tower basic: $25

Why not shell out the extra $30 or so for double the ram? If you're on vista then 2gb ram should be the absolute minimum

ye u could do that, i miss read the question i thought it wasnt for gaming..........for gaming then ye 2gb ram for like $150 and i'd say a good motherboard with nvidia chipset sli = $200 and a better graphics card $200+ for 8600gts maybe sli them.

Well thats computer fair prices, but i guess if you visit any small computer store you should get for the same price or a bit more because the computer fair people are small computer stores.

or u can shop online, u might find it cheaper, and if ur lucky u might be able to haggle the price down in sum small computer stores
