The system will probably serve you fine, but be prepared to get laughed off the planet. You made a big mistake posting it though. Anyways, good luck with your system.....do you really care who likes it, and who doesn't?

 

[kill3rloki]

no feel free to laugh at me, i talked to my girl and she said she would use it so thus meaning i get to buy a new one. oh yeah after visiting this site and reading this much iam laughing at myself. anway i only spent about 400 on it. anyway i still have the rest of my tax return which is 2G's which gets dedicated to my new comp. i also have a couple of processors i want to learn ocing on. anyway just stoned rambling.

on that note iam up for suggestions.

 

[pmr]

the main point her is: how much did u pay for the parts?
The worst buy was the mobo...

 

[kill3rloki]

well i paid about 400 or so for em, nothin to much on the large scale of how much a good system really cost.

Very nice -- it's amazing with what you can do with $400!

 

[kill3rloki]

no kidding, i have the rest. can anyone pass on some bios settings for that system?

 

[pmr]

First get a good hsf that allows you to get 3Ghz and then start a new thread asking for DS3 bios settings. You'll have more answers

 

[kill3rloki]

sweet deal thanks alot

 

[kill3rloki]

ok now with all this info, iam a gamer, i have read some info, but want advice from someone who has experiance in the matter already. amd or intel?

 

[pmr]

it depends on your resolution and in gfx card. Intel is superior to comparable AMD, but you'll only see differences at lower resolutions. Intel FTW
Intel c2 architecture , not the old crap.

Search the forums to avoid doing such newb questions. 8)

 

[yakyb]

i second intel the 4300 will fly for you pair it with a x1950 pro or 7600gt (which ever you can afford) and youll be laughing (not crying like with the other system ) any chance you could give it back for a refund. or sell it on ebay

[kill3rloki]

ok ok ok, no need for newb questions, str8 to the point, iam playing css with this 2.53GHz celeron d 1gb ddr fx5500. i know this is a piece of shit, but this is what i had before b-camp and was only playing bhd on it. anyway iam only gettin maybe 30-40 fps i know the gpu has alot to do with it, but i do also know its the cpu due to hangups, i get em alot and am able to glitch the weapon pretty easy on a new round, i know thats not right so iam going to set this thing to rest. iam liking what i see in the 8800 gtx, man have things changed since i was last in the game, as you can see i didnt really get alot of time to do anything really, now that iam out, i have alot more time on my hands and need something decent to take that up ... i dont know how some of u guys do it, my girl is all pissy about it lol... computer science + women= back ache from the couch. i have decided to resell it on ebay and hopefully break even... either way, iam gonna get it.

 

[pmr]

It's the gpu bottlenecking you, not the cpu.

 

[kill3rloki]

well i guess one good thing came out of this, the cpu cooler ended up being misslabeled and is a rosewill rcx-z3 for really cheap. i dunno.
i know the gpu is a hangup. i think my cpu is crapin out on me also.

Leaves you with $234 (or $274 if you go with the free case) left over for a video card in a few weeks.

its a solid setup that takes everything into mind... was writen up for a 1k budget, with 250ish left for a vid card.
one of the x1950's from ATI for dx9(250ish), or one of the 8800gts for dx10(350ish) would be the smart choices.
