Eek, well I hope the 550 will suffice because it is one of the items I already bought! :) I am just waiting to see how prices drop and what happens with the VEGA release honestly!
No worries! I will keep my eyes posted for more deals. Since I am in no immediate rush it is kind of fun! How does the build look though; anything worth changing?
Thank you, I will check that out now! I also just found a deal on newegg for a
Rosewill CAPSTONE 550M 550W Modular Power Supply (80 PLUS GOLD Certified) for $42 so I will snag that up now as well if the build looks good!
Hello guys! It has been a long time since I have posted and I am happy to say my current rig has lasted me about 7+ years now (you guys helped me design it way back when). Anyhow, it's about that time again...
Looking to build a mid range build spending around $1,200. This is primarily just...
Yes this is another thing I do realize as the developers have not yet optimized the game much, but plan on doing so before release. I think I may end up overclocking a bit and if that doesn't help anything, I'll just recommened he start saving for a new rig!
Definitely dated! I understand and agree that a whole new computer would be the best bet, and that hopefully will be an option within the year; but for now he is stuck with what he has!
Well he started at 1920 x1200 but even tried it on 1280 x 800 but did not see any great improvement. Some improvement of course, but also made it a bit harder to see what was going on!
Hey guys, had a question for ya. My friend is interested in playing a new MMO coming out (wildstar) and has recently participated in the beta. His computer has some difficulty running it even on low settings and reduced resolution, so I was wondering what you think the bottleneck in his system...
I should also mention the beep code is 1 beep - I wasn't informed of this until now. I'll try to look into this more but seeing as this is time sensitive I'll keep this going while I look. Thank you!
So we decided to go this route, and my cousin put everything together but after the POST it says "CMOS failure", and wants you to enter a boot up CD or restart. She reset the CMOS using the jumpers about 10 times but to no avail. She also tried a batter from another computer that was working...
I like what you have setup here but I have a question; how is the GPU on the processor? If she could get by without buying a separate GPU for now, and then pick one up in a month or two that might help out tremendously. I know she wouldn't be able to game much without it, but if she could just...
Thanks for the reply guys; I'll read into it more when I get home. I may be able to get a copy of Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64-bit, so the $400 budget can be without the OS.
Not near any microcenters either!
Hello,
Let me start by saying that this build is for a young cousin of mine who for whatever reason needs to build a computer for a senior project. The budget is small ~$400, and I know she won't be making anything great with this budget (hell most great GPU's are >$400 alone), I just want to...
