[need help trying to figure this out]

i currently have a toshiba satillite laptop its a dual core 1.8 with 2g mem idk what speed the mem is i just reformated and reinstalled 7 home so i dont have cpu-z im pretty sure that was the name of the program but it tells the exact specs of the computer

sence i dont know alot about overclocking i figured id do up a cheap build untill i figure things out better then save up.

the thing im trying to do is build a gaming/media computer to play halo 2 maxed out as well as the new call of duty black ops smoothly

[need help trying to figure this out]

so your saying this would be a better build for the price

then i would use my laptop hdd

grand total shipped is 253

sorry if me posting all this makes me look retarded i wana build my own computer but i dont know much about it i really want to learn but im just not sure how

[need help trying to figure this out]

ik its old but its still better then what i have im trying to build a budget gaming computer for under 300 for the games i want to play i think it will do fine

[need help trying to figure this out]

why do you say dont bother?

[need help trying to figure this out]

after going on ebay for a little longer i thought of a little bit better game plan seeing as i was pretty much buying that desktop for the processor

so now i think this is gona be my game plan

all for 275 im debating weather or not to just used my laptop 320g hdd instead to bring down the price.

what do you all think i wana start with this then watercool then overclock

still gotta get a gpu but for now i think that will do perfectly

[need help trying to figure this out]

k the money i orignally was gona drop on an extreamly bass ass gaming computer i ended up getting another car with. so being that i still need a computer.

so first off i have a few questions what is better a pentium d 3.0 and a core 2 duo 3.0

im thinking about buying this desktop

http://cgi.ebay.com/Dell-Optiplex-745-DC-XP-CDRW-DVD-DESKTOP-3-0GHz-1GB-RAM-/120676886739?pt=Desktop_PCs&hash=item1c18e728d3#ht_1344wt_1139

with this motherboard

and 2 of these^

now what im trying to do is build a cheap computer that i can use for gaming atleast for the games i play anyone plus i want to try overclocking and i think this would be a good build to start. basicly what im looking for is advice and can someone explain fsb to me i looked it up but im trying to make sure i understand it now with that mother board the fsb is 1333/1066MHz now are those numbers the highest it can go? from what i understand you raise your fsb and voltage to overclock your cpu. if im completly wrong someone please tell me im pretty much just buying that desktop for the cpu and drive and case i have another hdd ill be using with it

[amd vs intel]

huh well thanks for clearing that up for me

[amd vs intel]

that doesnt make sence then so a single core 3.0 and a quad core 3.0 would be the same speed?

[amd vs intel]

i have another dumb question i think i understand but im just making sure say i have a core 2 due 1.8 now is that equal to a single 3.2 like if i have a quad core 3.0 thats 12.0 is my thinking wrong or?

[amd vs intel]

looks like im going intel

[amd vs intel]

now ik amd rates there processors differnt then intel so im looking at a quad core amd 3.0 that isnt the same as a quad core intel 3.0 right im asking becouse ive only used intel so im trying to get an idea how much of a differnce an amd quad 3.0 would be from intel

[7.1 /7.2 home theater that does 150-200 rms]

im thinking about this http://www.crutchfield.com/s_022RXA3000/Yamaha-RX-A3000.html?tp=179 thats double my budget but i think im gona save and do things right the first time so i dont have to do it again and id have to get a tape to see the size im unsure atm. in your expiernce how does a 7.1 do on music

[7.1 /7.2 home theater that does 150-200 rms]

ya i say .2 becouse i want a sub in stereo i have a few power amps around that i could just run them as subs. so your saying a 7.1 would be over kill and couldnt be used to its full potential as of todays movies?

http://www.crutchfield.com/p_305HWC900/Samsung-HW-C900.html?tp=179&tab=features_and_specs

see this is almost what im looking for but look at the specs for surround wattage it says 120 but idk if thats rms x 7

[7.1 /7.2 home theater that does 150-200 rms]

ya i just realized that on cruthfield they list rms for stereo power but not surround im thinking about down sizing to a 5.1 or .2

[7.1 /7.2 home theater that does 150-200 rms]

as the title states im looking for a home theater/stereo that is a 7.1 or 7.2 that is capable of 150-200 rms at 8 ohms x 7 i want something that is ment for both music and as a home theater aplication planning to build a set of 7 3 way towers. something under 900 any ideas

[DIY Amps- Anyone ever mess with these?]

i was gona do the same thing emailed parts express and the guy told me they do 40 rms x4 at 4 ohms i was thinking about getting one to run im my car but not sure how it would be wired up
