jeyrapboy Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 Okay guys i am wanting a desktop and none of the name brands have the specs i want at a decent price. So i have decided to build one . Here is the parts that i am going to be putting in. NOTE: THIS COMPUTER WILL NOT BE USED FOR GAMING! This is just a computer for daily use and the occasional minor video editing. Here is the parts going in CPU http://www.newegg.co...N82E16819103688 MOBO http://www.newegg.co...N82E16813128439 HDD http://www.newegg.co...N82E16822136073 PSU http://www.newegg.co...N82E16817371020 CASE http://www.newegg.co...N82E16811129066 Memory http://www.newegg.co...N82E16820231274 cd/dvd drive http://www.newegg.co...N82E16827118032 So what are you thoughts, also i am wanting to make sure that all these part will work side by side correctly.

fr34kout Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 (edited) Looks pretty good, but where's your graphics card? I guess my tips would be make sure you ground yourself to get rid of any static electricity before you touch any of the components, and be careful with the CPU heatsink / fan, those twist push tabs can be a bitch especially for a first time builder. Edit: Oh forgot to add, do you have an OS or are you planning on "getting" one? Whatever you do, don't even consider Vista. Win 7 or if you wanna go the cheap route XP.

Yea i have windows 7 on my laptop now and love it. That is prolly what i will go with for the OS. Also the MOBO has a built in ATI Radeon HD 4250, my buddy used this same one in his rig and said that it was really good for what he needed. Which is what i am going to use it for.

tomypg Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 I see that you chose a mobo with an inbuilt graphics card. Even if your just going to be browsing internet and videos and stuff and you said you might do some minor editing, I bet you will every once in a while play a game Get a graphics card with about 256mb on ram, and it will keep you afloat with most games on low/medium. WOW: good price! http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121360 Quote 1988 Honda City E Big 3 in 1/0 Venom 6x9 Venom 6.5 Components Response 4x100 midz and highs amp Fusion NV 2500.1: STOLEN 2 x 12 inch fusion nv subs 10 inch 5 doller subs in my doors PM me if you want help with electrical Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My buddy also pointed out that if i ever wanted to upgrade the graphics its as easy as installing a new card. Ninja edit: I will NOT be playing games. I was never good at computer gaming. I have a ps3 for all my gaming needs. Edited June 22, 2010 by jeyrapboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea fair enough, But why not save on shipping and waiting and getting it anyway, means less upgrading later I'm very surprised how cheap everything over in the USA is... GOD DAYUM, i needa get my ass over there.

Everything is moving to the GPU. A stand alone card being for games only is 2008 talk... NV leads the way there as far as a push to move more things over to the GPU so for your own benefit I would go with NV or don't bother. AMD is broke and their RND shows it.

GOD DAYUM, i needa get my ass over there. Well right now money is kind of tight. This is something thats a huge inprovment over the laptop that i have now. Its 3 years old and still as fast as the day i bought it BUT, something with a little more power is wanted. Idk when i will even able to buy all the parts with being in the middle of a install.

Thanks this is why i wanted to get some opinions before i make ANY decisions. That way i could tweak things if needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fr34kout Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 I dunno about that, ATI has top notch GPU's right now for an unbeatable price. The AMD CPU's are great for the money, but for a little extra an i series from Intel will walk all over it. If I was building a comp right now I'd base it off an i7 and a 5xxx series card.
