And to think in spite of the flamefest YOU instigated I have yet to block you because you HAVE made an effort, but you DID seem to take it personally that I didn't choose your build.
And Im fairly sure the insults were not coming from me but were directed at me (at me for not choosing the forum...
In other words, I still need to get a new SATA DVD burner cause the noob wasn't thinking about a board being EIDE friendly or not.
OH good news!
I just discovered the iggy function, but for the small hand full of people who were really trying to help me thank you and the rest, bye bye enjoy...
Regarding this build, does the CPU qualify as 64bit as far as O/S's go?
Is it meant to run 64 or 32 bit, I have some old copies so I could got either way.
Another snafu!
My old DVD drive is not SATA, pitty installing an O/S through USB wasn't the easier option -.-
Can I still use an adapter for alt IDE & EIDE drives maybe use them for back up's or for other OS's like Linux?
BTW the box didn't come with a sys fan,(good thing I had an old one) is that normal?
I need a SATA drive duh, but maybe my old HD4850 vid card and Lightdrive DVD were not hurt in the...
Thank you for all of your help, if you ever look at this whole thread you can see many people made recommendations, guys there can be only one winner.
Flamming me for not choosing YOUR build is not helpful or cool.
I came here to get advice because I KNOW Im way behind the curve, maybe I can...
YAY, placed order yesterday!
I did not order a vid card, dvd rom, or hard drive, because Im still hoping the burnout of last year was just the power supply and not everything.
Order is processed and traveling already!
1680x1050 native.
Im keeping this monitor for a while.
Overclocking....um, I don't think Im savy enough to do that yet (And Im worried about hurting my new baby).
I guess we agree that CyberpowerPC is crap, I was reading alot of reviews and found much hate in them xD .
Even a handful of reports at Ripoff Report.com. . .
I have NEVER had a good rebate experience!
So I avoid them like the plague.
My last PC before it burnt out was six years old!
Can you imagine what it was like to game on?
I hope it will be the gaming-est rig I can build for no more than $700.
I have a gamers soul.........(right here on my desk in a jar covered in glyphs, runes and no it ain't for sale).
Well my $700 (not one cent more) PC project is ready to begin!
I think I will go one of two ways, 1) CyberPower PC's.
2) New Egg (build bit by bit).
Time to get my rig back!
One: is there a way to prevent a specific Forum member from posting in your thread?
Two: You won't believe what I've done now, out of pure desperation I used a Dremel to Mod this Slimline PC case so I could FIT an old Geforce 6200 PCI video card in it.
I was hoping I would see SOME small...
I fixed it by taking a copy of the Java folder in the Programs directory from a netbook laying around and pasting it into the same place on this PC.
Then I could do a proper uninstall/reboot, and reinstall Java = all better now!
THAT was directed at the Platinum member who said answers should be sent to the sticky instead of the thread.
YOU were correct in setting things right, I wonder how many noobish questions have been in Limbo thanks to Mr. Stickyhole.
1: I've had bad rebate experiences in the past.......
2: I DO have a RW-DVD drive (I hope when the Power supply burned out it didn't go with it :P )
3: More ideas are welcome, it will be a while before the tax refund arrives.
I always thought the replies were meant to be posted INTO the thread.
Thank you for de-railing my quest for help.
And yes, I have Win7 Ultimate.
Shopping with $USD$ from Newegg or Newegg like site.
Hi Guys, I'll be getting about $700 USD! from our Tax refund.
My old rig burned out last year T.T
What can I accomplish with $700 ?
A Gamers PC is what I seek, I need a case/power supply/ motherboard/ processor/ Ram/ Vid-card.
The Monitor/ Keyboard/ mouse/ Windows7, and a newish RW DVD...
