    Input on my build? Cheap and (seems) powerful!

    I just looked up the Bulldozer CPU, and I am wondering: Is it supposed to be an 8 core? Or another generation of 6 cores? And is there any confirmed price?

    Input on my build? Cheap and (seems) powerful!

    That brings me to a total of 511.94 USD. I got the SAMSUNG 500 GB Hard Drive you mentioned, and the Lite-On DVD-RW drive you mentioned. Now, is it OK (besides the case)? Did I forget something (seeing as this is my first build-by-myself-computer)? EDIT: The Athlon is long gone now, the Phenom...

    OK, I changed it. It seems absolutely flawless now (of course after a 40 post long thread :P ), and it seems ready to go after. Final list: ASUS M4A88TD-M http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=6077271&CatId=5539 $99.99 [[[[[-----]]]]] OR...

    Is it safe to get that? There are 61 one star reviews.

    Input on my build? Cheap and (seems) powerful!

    It won't fit my board. I've just realized: my board sucks horribly. No PCI 2.1 slots or anything. I am going to bump it up to a HQ one and stick with it. If I remove the BioStar board, I come to 349 dollars. That gives me room for a 150 dollar board. Can you link me to a board with the...

    Thanks :) I am tempted to get a 70-80 dollar GPU, but I am pushed away from that temptation because of the mindset that you cannot get a good one for that price. I want at least a gig of DDR5 on the GPU. Would it be possible to get at least that with 80 bucks? P.S. I don't mean crappy card...

    Eh, I can't tell if that was sarcasm or not, since you said it in a regular tone, but I do think it was sarcasm because the onboard HD 4250 is a 3 year old GPU. But seriously, do I need to boost the PSU or not? If not, what should I bump up?

    Oh, and I'm also decided NOT to overclock until I start actual gaming and not minecraft, so I will drop 50 bucks and go with stock cooling. It has to be good enough to run it, right? :) EDIT: Since I am now at 424 USD, should I boost my PSU up to 600w or get a better GFX card or what?

    No no, I am getting the G.SKILL memory. I just keep it there in case I really have the urge to go back. I will change the PSU to what you said then :D I will also price it all out at NewEgg and see if it comes any cheaper.

    Internet Connection Dropout

    Thanks, but I have tried that very many times. It seems to prolong the amount of time I get before it drops again. But it doesn't fix it.

    Internet Connection Dropout

    I am having problems with my network stopping receiving packets. I have a ComTrend ADSL2+ CT-5621T Modem and a Linksys WRT300N Wireless-N Router. It doesn't happen on a schedule, it happens often though. I know it is not on the computer as a problem, as my XBOX 360 Live connection drops too...

    Thanks for your help throughout this thread :)

    Input on my build? Cheap and (seems) powerful!

    OK, I just calculated total prices and everything, and checked everything's reviews, and I decided it looked perfect. Here is my current part list: ASUS M4A88TD-M http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=6077271&CatId=5539 $99.99 [[[[[-----]]]]] OR...

    Oh, I just noticed the second one only works on Intel CPUs (or so it says). The first would keep me safe in OC'ing from 3.2 to 3.5?

    I like the second one you linked to :D I found one too, should I use this instead? Would it be better or worse?
