[willymaster323]

what are the best parts to make a high performance pc with a budget of 1500$

thank you very much

Do some research first

you can at least show us what you have thought of before hand

 

[fender22]

Yea, do a bit of research, expand you own knowledge perhaps. And come to the forums with a list for ciriqueing, and some knowledge to have a conversation about the build. I wouldn't come here expecting members to just make you a list.

Best machine ever made, I would pay $2000 for that system it's so awesome, that is a GREAT deal dude. Glad you did your research!

 

[sharp910sh]

rubbish, build it yourself, and dont go with amd. as intel is much faster and a better OCer.

 

[Silverion77]

I totally agree with Cnumartyr

Total Intel Fanboi.

 

[Silverion77]

[mlaporta]

Did you need me to build it for you too???

 

[Silverion77]

^^ dont go with this

That AMD build is much better

 

[mlaporta]

I would have to say that someone that comes to these forums isn't necessarily knowledeable on computer parts, they may only know computers as a whole from like Best Buy or Circuit City or Dell or HP so it really may be hard for them to get a starting point but yes I agree some effort should be put in so we can critique accordingly.

I know, but someone can at the very least do SOME research on the basic parts.

Edit: Personally, I'm not here to hold someone's hand, I will gladly help anyone who help themselves.

 

[mlaporta]

True & agreed except 1 thing... "don't try to hold MY hand"!!! :lol: :lol:

 

[Grundalizer]

that pc from ebay is going to be better than the one i am making for the same if not more money, plus it comes with TWO 8800 GT's if you read the description, and it comes with OS, and 3 year warranty, wtf?

 

[Silverion77]

For $1500 thats easy

You must not know how to build a PC.

 

[JackNaylorPE]

I would suggest reading the last week's worth of postings before posting ya questions...I have read at least two threads today from peopel building gaming rigs with your exact $1500 budget.

 

[jalpaugh1978]

I want nothing more than to see AMD come back out of the funk they've been in for the last 2 years and kick the dcrap out of intel, but now isn't that time. Take it from an AMD fan if you build now...as much as it pains me to say...go Intel

 

[mlaporta]

That's actually a great idea to read 1-2 weeks of postings good suggestion.

 

[medjohnson77]

As you can tell these guys aren't happy with your lack of research and effort. Word of advice before I built mine and posted here I researched for Three weeks straight. Put some effort into it guy or just buy that build from ebay and enjoy!

 

[amd_fanboi]

why buy an amd build for $1500???

"PUT 2 OF THE EGVA NVIDIA 8800GT SUPERCLOCKED 512MB VIDEOCARDS IN SLI MODE (JUST LIKE IN THIS GAMING RIG) AND IT DEMOLISHES THE PERFORMANCE OF THE NVIDIA 8800GTX 768MB VIDEOCARD FOR THE SAME PRICE AS 1 NVIDIA 8800GTX 768MB VIDEOCARD."

no really??? what about if you SLI the GTX??? what a retarded statement, esp since for that price you can almost afford to get 2xGTXs... + the mobo could be better...

E8400
8800GTS 512
and a big monitor... that's what you ought to be looking at, not that rubbish... go with mlaporta's build.

 

[willymaster323]

is it better intel for gaming?
