Hi Tom members,
I have a friend who is really set for making his own computer and he has come to me to for some general help. I haven't looked at computers in a few months now and I am hesitant to offer advice. So I have come here to ask the experts for help.
He tells me he has a brand new AMD Phenom II X4 965 and wishes to use this in the build.
I asked him a few basic questions and filled out the standard form below.
Approximate purchase date: 5 days from today's date
Budget Range: I would like to spend $600 max. Can stretch it to $700.00 if need be but want it $600.00
System Usage from Most to Least Important:
Video games that are to be played: Diablo 3 and Counterstrike Source, Battlefield 2 & 3.
Have the ability to play any high intense graphic games that may come out in the future.
Internet browsing/emailing
Parts Not Required:
CPU AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition Deneb 3.4GHz Socket AM3 125W Quad-Core Processor
Operating System (Windows 7 64 Bit Edition)
Keyboard
Mouse
Monitor
Parts Required:
Motherboard
RAM
Harddisk Drive (solid state or regular hdd?)
Video Card
Power Supply
Heatsink (not overclocking but may later on)
Computer Case
CD/DVD Burner
Thermal Paste
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: www.newegg.com
Country: USA - Las Vegas
Parts Preferences: Best parts I can get for the buck that gives me the best performance for now and the future.
Overclocking: Maybe later on but not now.
SLI or Crossfire: No
Additional Comments: I am concerned about the temperature where I live as in Las Vegas things can get a bit hot. Noise level is a concerns as well and I would like a quiet pc that provides good cooling. I would also like the computer at least a bit future proof. Basically I would like to get a nice 3 years out of it before considering any upgrades or replacements.
If someone can suggest a really good motherboard for an AMD 965 Phenom I think the rest will fall into place.
