1.Will this setup work with out bios update? :)
2.What Cpu cooler will u recommend? :)
3.Would you changes any thing? :)
4.Will a case silencer kit make it much silencer? :)

Thanks for you help :)
 
1. I have no idea, so I'll let someone else answer.

2. Coolermaster Hyper 212.

3. I would get a board that allows for Crossfire. I like the Asus M4A79XTD EVO. It's not that much more expensive.

4. I would guess that that's the intent of the kits. Whether they can accomplish that is another thing. The ones that came up from Googling look just like foam you put on the inside of the case.

If that's what you're looking at, then I'm going to guess it's not worth it. The loudest part of the computer is going to be the external fans, simply because they aren't being dampened. Putting foam on the inside may lower the noise a little, but it will also likely make the components hotter. This will make the fans spin faster, which will make more noise. So I doubt they're worth the price.

1. Don't see any reason why it wouldn't.
2. Depends, are you planning to overclock it? If so, you might want to look at a better overclocking motherboard.
3. Any higher budget and you'd be looking at Intel CPUs, but given your price range, AMD is probably comparable, if not better.
4. You're better off buying quiter, higher quality components in the first place than relying on aftermarket silencing options. The noise generated by your computer is going to be dependent on your case, case fans, CPU cooler, and power supply fan. Your case is pretty high quality, and from reviews, appears to be pretty quiet. The power supply you've selected also appears to operate quietly based on reviews.

I agree with MadAdmiral in that if you were going to upgrade anything, make it the motherboard. Your case will have more than enough room for a full ATX board, and it's nice to know that you have the option to CrossFire in the future if you want. However, keep in mind that each 5850 you have is going to require TWO 6pin PCI connectors from your power supply. As it is now, your PSU has enough to power one 5850, but probably not two, even with the use of molex to 6pin PCI adapters.

The CoolerMaster Hyper 212 is also a fanatastic cooler for the money, and should cool sufficiently for a mild overclock. Again though, if you're planning on overclocking at all, you should get a better motherboard.

No its doesn't ran up to 2000 dollar but I need a screen also and keyboard :D its around 1250 but if I can save some money so I also have to a flat screen next year it would be great :D
But if I change motherboard and put the coolermaster hyper in, will I then have a great computer? :D


BTW. I use my phone to write now :D

It depends how you define "great" computer. You could build a $10,000 dollar computer if you really wanted to. I would say with your current parts you are getting a "respectable" computer.

Also, unless your planning on buying a 40" flatscreen as a monitor, I think leaving 750 for the monitor and keybaord is way to generous, but again, I'm not too familiar with Denmark's prices. I would leave 300-400 for a nice monitor and keyboard, and instead spend about 1600-1700 on the computer. With this budget you could upgrade to an i7 920 processor, and a socket 1366 board, which would be much better IMO.

Its for gaming so why spend money on i7 there is no big different in game, you can only use it to big calculate programs there shall stand on all night :D
 
Obviously, you really are drunk. The i7-920 is better than the i5 for gaming, once your budget hits a certain point. The reason the i5 is choosen a lot is that for $100 less, you can get a better GPU. If you've already gotten the 5870 (or 5970), that purpose is defeated. The i5 isn't better than the i7 in gaming, it's just the same for cheaper. And that's only before you start overclocking.
 
Why are you excluding what is currently the best CPU out? And no, anything under $1,800 should not automatically be AMD. Anything under $1,800 (for a gaming machine) should be using an i5. Anything between $1,000-$1,200 faces a choice bewteen the i5 and AMD based on any other uses and monitor resolution. Anything under $1,000 should be AMD.

Just what I have heard :D
Can the motherboard there linked to longer up be used without BIOS update?:D And is that better than the one I choose to begin with? :D

VERY good advice.

Also, try not to worry very much about your motherboard needing a BIOS update. It's almost never a problem.
 
GPU = Graphics card. CPU is the Central Processing Unit. GPU is the Graphics Processing Unit.

I have not idea how loud it will be. The GPU isn't going to be very loud, nor is the CPU cooler. The case will probably make the most noise, and since I don't own one, I can't say how loud it is.

Watch this review on the HAF 922. Somewhere in the video, he should let you have a listen to the stock cooling. From what I can tell based on comments and other reviews the case is pretty quiet.
