building a new computer need tips

[xoul]

About time i build a new computer seeing how it's been forever, and I'm playing on a laptop =\. I have a budget of 850$. will try to up budget but it all i got now..

[duhoh]

top-end power - go with intel cpu

 

maybe 10%-30% power sacrifice for around a 50% price cut - amd.

 

them ATI 5XXX are beastin too

[ReGIONALS]

with your budget

 

one of the cheaper coolermaster cases

 

AMD phenom II x4 955

5770 and lower gpu

and corsair psu

 

everything else is up to you

My recent build for about $700

 

AMD Phenom Quad Core 965 3.4Ghz

4 GB of ADATA 1333

AZZA 1000R case

OCZ Fatal1ty 550W PSU

Biostar Mobo (budget)

ATI HD5750

Corsair H50 Liquid Cooling

 

I'm not including my hd's because that's personal preference

 

Just giving you something to work off of price wise.

 

Good luck!

I5-750!!! is the way to go!!! Ill make a wish list really quick

This is at 680... you have a few choices from here...

 

-Upgrade the Mobo for potential sli/xfire (if you do you'll have to sacrifice on the GPU so I wouldnt)

 

-put 5830 of 5750 (id go witht the 58 series I think) your call

 

correct me if im wrong but it is better to have one better performing GPU than 2 mediocre one...

 

-lastly possibly upgrade the PSU to the modular 620 which isnt on newegg but the one I posted has a nice promo currently..its not modular but I use it and the cables are so long it makes cable managment in my storm scout easy..

 

lastly you could potentially upgrade the case but in your price range the 300 is decent..I think antec came out with a new lower priced case but Im to lazy to find out right now...

 

GL

 

One more thing.. if your willing to sacrifice on GPU you could possibly get a Solid state hard drive which is really where the speed comes from but with your budget it'll be hard!!

 

Also if I were you id pass on the cooler i included because if you dont OC its not really necessary and but that money towards something else!

And no windows vista

Its bad

[Wrathek]

don't listen to trak on the PSU. after this last build, finally using a modular power supply, i'll NEVER go back to non-modular. its really that wonderful.
