beaker Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 I havent used ASRock in a long time. They used to be low end, but in the past 3 years or so they've really stepped up their game. It looks solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheena Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 for 135 i'd go with something better known for reliability, asus or gigabyte. that way if you have a problem, you could always post on here and beaker and i can troubleshoot 09 Civic EX KDC-X395 (2) SKAR Audio VVX-12 Skar Audio SK-1500.1 4 cu ft @32 (new box and more port soon) Firing Forward not sealed off Stock 80 Amp Alt Big 3 In 1/0 Knu 2 Runs To The Back 1 Pos 1 Neg In 1/0 Knu DD-1'd 13.8v drop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corey0928 Posted January 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 whats the benefits of running a intel over a amd processor, I've heard and read intel is better but honestly what is the difference since I've seen amd fan boys saying its just intel fan boys wanting to run those over the amd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kranny Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 my asrock board is fantastic. specifically this one, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157279 handles my 4.5ghz i5 nicely. whats the benefits of running a intel over a amd processor, I've heard and read intel is better but honestly what is the difference since I've seen amd fan boys saying its just intel fan boys wanting to run those over the amd many games and applications (from what i've heard) are optimized for intel processors. like starcraft 2.

corey0928 Posted January 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 I think im going to go i5 processor paired with either an intel or asus motherboard. (kranny your link didn't work for me, could be my computer) i liked the asrock z77 motherboard though from reviews and specs. as far as ram goes im assuming 8gb will be enough. At microcenter they have Corsair 8gb for $58 or the crucial ballistix is cheaper but they have a 16 gb for $70 edit: found a gskill 8gb (2 4gb) for $60 if that would be better than the corsair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beaker Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 Why arent you ordering off newegg? Ram prices are bout half that. It should be around 40$ for 8gb of DDR3-1600 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanitarium Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 Possibly, but 4 in a row of anything blowing up when you plug it in, I wouldnt want to use it anymore ever. I've had friends go with them with the same results, but that was about 5 years ago, also the earthwatts series. Havent had any issues with the Coolermaster stuff. 3 in a row OCZ psu's went up with me, followed by a thermaltake that lasted roughly a week. shoulda went with the corsair to begin with intel processors (k series if you want to play with overclocking) corsair or gskill ram nvidia graphics cards (for the drivers, otherwise the hardware goes blow for blow with ATI) and anything i got laying around for a case, not excluding cardboard boxes, until i get fed up with it and buy whatever looks good for the price at that time. and anything that's not strictly air to cool the cpu Edit: hardcare asus fan for motherboards, really like my asus monitors and old trusty asus laptop as well. Edit 2. unless you need the parts NOW. shop newegg.com and tigerdirect.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
