So I sent a guy at NCIX this email, which tells you a bit about what I need for my computer. Does what I want get fullfilled with this? Is there anything missing?Heres an exact copy of the email.
Sorry for not replying, however, I've been looking around at other places. I've decided to either go with NCIX, Dell, or My local computer guy, and am currently pricing out what I will be ordering. Right now, I'm getting quotes to find the lowest price for what I want, so I'd like to get a quote from NCIX. I;ve attached parts I'm considering, so add it up. It is very possible that I will end up going with NCIX, since with Dell, I would prefer a computer without an OS, and I don't want to buy another copy of Windows XP, and I'd prefer one without parts I already have.
I'd like (if possible) for you to price out a computer for me. This is what I need:
I have a limited budget of about 2700 + tax, but due to the fact that the order is being shipped to Ontario, there is only 7/ or 8 percent tax, so I think if I can get free shipping somehow (either by way of special or sale, or through PriceNetwork.ca rewards, or NCIX rewards, I can bump it up to 3000 if I dont pay either. 2700+ is the money I'm recieving from my parents on this, so although I can spend more, any additional money comes out of my pocket, which I would prefer not.
Because of my budget, I'd like to put all my money into parts which cannot have additions added without disposing the initial part. For example, I'd like to put money into graphics cards over ram, since I can always add more ram, but I cannot upgrade the graphics card without disposing the old one.
Also, I'd like the computer to be really quiet. I can deal with noise under load, however, while working, I'd like it to be really quiet, so appropriate fans will have to be added.
Part List. These are things I'm considering, however, I don't know which brand is better etc, so I need clarification on it.
2x nVidia GeForce 7950's. I have no idea what type of mobo is required for this with SLI (quad), so NCIX would have to pick one out if I order.
I have a few giftcards, so HDDs are not required to be in the quote, since I'll be ordering them separately.
Processor. I'd like 64 bit, however, does AMD offer Dual-Core? What would you reccomend?
RAM: depending on the amount of slots depends on how many sticks I would get. I can always order additional RAM, so this can be seen as an afterthought, but I would like to know how much it would cost for High capacity (nothing under a gig per stick), fairly high speed, DDR2.
Sound Card: My current computer has a sound blaster audigy, and aside from the audio quality, the only beef I have with it is that it is a ����� to install, sometimes uninstalls itself, pisses me off, so integrated, provided it is minimum 5.1, would be OK.
Optical drives: A DVD Burner is needed, so through one in the quote.
PSU: With the cards, I have no idea how many watts or anything I'd need, so I'd need you to tell me how many. Also, could you quote one which is modular? I'm a stickler about wires.
Mobo: will need one to accomidate SLI. Must have SATA, RAID, preferably many PCI slots, many ram slots, etc.
Cooling: I need something quiet, and I need something that will keep it fairly cool, so you need to factor this into the price. I've heard good things on Zalman stuff...
Case: I'm looking for something Minimalistic or extremely pimped. I dont want something that looks like a beige box or an upgraded beige box, I want something sleek, possibly with a door to access the cd drives. Also, preferably one without screws. I have no idea which cases are best.
If there is anything else I'm forgetting, let me know. Also, I dont need anything outside the case.
With NCIX rewards, do I earn them on every purchase? Also, is it possible to earn them on a purchase and use them on that purchase? For example, buy a computer, use the free shipping?
I've also emailed this.
EDIT: I forgot cables, so factor those in. Also, can you tell me about the parts you choose?
So the guy sent me a quote, with these parts. So my question is, is this a good quote? Is there something that should be changed? I dont like the case, so I know about that, but about the other parts?
