The Ultimate Gaming PC

[mr_penguin]

hows this bundle?

That wouldn't be the best because it only has 2 memory and pci slots. Plus if your going to waste pci slots your better off getting a mobo that supports SLI but I would recommend having at least two PCI Express x16 2.0, not that bs one being x16 and the other x8.

And for your OS you should know were to look to get xp or vista Keyword: "Corporate"

[super_man916]

lol you are teh suckzorz at this.
j/k

so i should make a build on tigerdirect? plus dont think your missing out cause its the same as the egg. but then the egg sends out email deals but idk if tiger does so yeah. i'll start finding parts and such.
dont flame meh cause im sexeh. lol

[guysullavin]

is it ok if i downgrade to Pentium Dual Core?
i just found a pretty bad-ass motherboard thats crossfire supportive, but its kinda pricey and I'm also trying to keep the price down to afford a monitor from a local store.
Motherboard
Crossfire video card

[super_man916]

yeah get a dual core >for now.< they should do you good until the games that use quad cores come out. and i recommend Nvidia gfx cards cause i just prefer them but since im not one to tell you what you want tell me what you want and i'll build one with a card from ATI or Nvidia. but i tried building a pc with that budget. its HARD to make one with that budget. your gonna have to cut down on the case price and some unnecessary features/parts.
i like to say i know what im doing but i wont, but i can definitely give some advice on stuff.

[guysullavin]

all right
heres a challenge for anyone
i want a computer that has Intel, Crossfire or Nvidia, i just cant seem to care, i want multiple PCI x16 sockets for an upgrade to my video cards if i choose to do so (count on it) 2gb of ram is nice, and my hard drive doesn't need to be too big, just don't make it Under 100 gigs (i've had to live with a 30 gig computer now for about 4 years, I'm sick of it) try and find a case that looks bad-ass, and if you can, find a 500w power supply if its included, if you have to buy a separate one then make sure its 500w+ (info from crytic)

oh it has to be all under $900 with shipping and taxes (if your not in canada you can use my postal code[L0S 1J0], just don't come to my house or else i'll be forced to be a gracious host )

heh, i just found this really, really old computer monitor in my attic, looks like i can save $$ after-all! idk how its gonna fit on my desk tho

EDIT: ok i just turned around and i got a cheap (but fairly decent in my eyes) motherboard and instead got an Intel Core 2 Quad CPU and it still fits my budget, and i switched over to nivida... again...

If you want the ultimate gaming pc your gonna have to spend more than $900. but you can get one that can play games like halo without problems for that much.

lol, trust me, you can go far nowadays with $900

[super_man916]

urgh im at 925.. and if your gonna play some intense games then your gonna need to O/C (over clock) so PM me the games you'll play or just post here if you want. if you overclock that'll set you over your limit. plus buying a case will set you back farther.. so im working on it.

[guysullavin]

Halo PC/CE, Counter Strike:Source, Starcraft, Diablo 2, Quake 4, i might get Crysis, other games i cant think of right now...

overclock... really? i mean, i hardly know what it means, but damn that adds like another $100 to my computer... *muffled swearing*

ok i will accept maybe about $50 room over, because that can be inherited in about a couple weeks, but anything really pricey and i'll kick a baby...

tax in canada suxxorz

[super_man916]

alrighty then so i'll have you hold off on O/Cing then so i can get you a tutorial on how to O/C when you need to. and maybe a month or two after you buy your PC then you can buy the CPU cooler for O/Cing and then you can get crysis too.

the fcking tax in canada SUCKS! its pissing me off. keeps ending up over 1000+ so im having a fit.

what can you salvage from your current computer? lol

NOESS im in the toilet with 75 over 900 time to drop..

ugh... im just gonna edit the build you ahve up there since the one i build keeps coming out above 1000 buckzorz

[Cryticfarm]

Motherboard's a tiny bit unattractive with specs, but it's ok .

lol, fail superman, epickphailure
i mean, you tried, and otherwise its pretty damn nice, but you didnt have to go for core 2 quad, hell, Pentium would be fine but never forget the memory

[Aumaan Anubis]

Yeah, an Intel Core Quad is unnecessary. I bought myself a Duo and I'm very pleased with its performance.

[super_man916]

Wheres the ram?

WOW im a dumbass... holy shit embarrassing as hell.

but if your gonna use a pentium and a 9600 GT to play crysis, well i wouldnt recommend it.

im just gonna commit suicide right now.
