It looks fine, though I wouldn't call it godlike. The CPU is a bit weak for that video card, but not bad, especially if you get a good heat sink and overclock it.

The answer to your question is easy: you created an Intel system.

Second the need to get a faster cpu, either by OCing that one, or pick up an 8400.

Spend another $25 to pick up the WD 640. More than double the storage, and it is faster than the last gen Raptor drive.

 

[megamanx00]

That's a good CPU to overclock. You should think about going for the 1GB version of the 4870 though.

 

[cow_moo]

dude seriosly a E2200 for a god like build also 2gb of ram?? Go 4gb since ram is cheap and speeds up your system

 

[SirCrono]

Upgrade that hard drive, get a WD6400AAKS.
Get 4 Gigs of ram or more, or the 64 bit OS choice it's quite useless.
Get an aftermarket cooler and OC that CPU or it'll bottleneck the 4870.

Other than that it's quite a good build.

Vista Home Basic... drop that right now and get Home Premium.

Vista Home Basic... drop that right now and get Home Premium.

I missed that one - seconded without a doubt.

Get a better CPU if you can afford it, if money is tight get a E7200 over a E5200.

11 for above posters except keithlm who is a known AMD fanboi.

I'd get mushkin ram for this rig, and yes 4gb.

 

[huron]

Lol - I expected "godlike" to include some more serious specs.

That's a decent build, but you've only got 2GB of RAM (despite the fact that 4GB is so cheap now).

The CPU is supposed to be a beast of an overclocker, but I would consider a better one if you can afford it.

P43 motherboard vs P45?

+1 - drop Home basic.

The HDD would better server you if you had single platter 320GB or get the WD 640 GB HDD (2 platters for $80)

Better CPU needed. More ram , it is very cheap now.

 

[evilshuriken]

Lots of good suggestions here.
I'll add this, if you do keep that CPU(and even if you don't), drop the DDR2 1066 ram for some DDR2 800 and get 4GBs of it. Even if you overclock the crap out of that processor you will not ever need that faster ram.

 

[eklipz330]

your idea of god is flawed

 

[evilshuriken]

Maybe he's talking about one of the lesser greek gods no one ever talks about?

 

[szwaba67]

Maybe the op is dyslexic and meant "dog-like" build... Shame on you for poking fun at a slow person!

 

[roadrunner197069]

Yes more dog like, then god like.

 

[ajcroteau]

Unfortunately, it's far from god-like. I didn't see anything that was right with this build.

First of all, the system is weak for running a 64-Bit OS.

Only a dual-core processor, should be at least a quad core running at 2.4Ghz or better.

Second, 4GB Ram at a minimum.

Plus, at least get a 1TB drive, they're pretty inexpensive now.

Is this machine intended to be a gaming machine???

I would have to agree and probably call this lame bastard tripod if it was a dog.I must admit I expected to see some liquid cooled business and maybe a couple of crossfired 4870x2s.

 

[Grimmy]

All of U's is wrong. A god like system would be nothing like an Intel, AMD, Apple, Linux, OR Unix system.

Everyone knows that a god like system would never need to be upgraded, OC'd or hacked from porn sites.

 

[metalweenis]

If that's god like, then what is mine? lmao

 

[radnor]

Isn't godlike.

You should get a better CPU and more RAM. 4GB.
HDD 250gb is kinda short, but i think you can add it later on.

Well, not godlike. Maybe average ? But ok. More ram pl0x.

 

[huron]

LOL - so much for "godlike," huh?

Lot's of suggestions for something so perfect - weird
