[jdogess]

i think im going to also get the AMD athlon fx-57 in june. thouhg i think ill be able to spend $3,500 on it.

Thanks.

Wow.... First, edit that thing and make include some damn grammar. Secondly, what are you going to use this computer for? Thirdly, do things like noise, heat, size, etc. concern you? Forthly, is current preformance for-the-money or future proofing your concern?

 

[imported_Tick]

Oh, and loose the kirby.

And don't thank us before you've actually been helped.

 

[jdogess]

k
im planning on making a gaming computer.
a very good gaming computer
i think i would like a 500-550W power supply . i mainly want to make a computer like alien ware.

probably a case 20-24"H im not sure about the width


just like an alien ware tower i suppose with neon lights inside.

Telling everyone your 13 is a SURE fire thread killer. And I'm not responding until you edit that post for grammer.

 

[Gurck]

Yeah, screw Kirby. ... (g-.-)-o Q(-.-Q)



Anyway, imo you're talking about spending way too much. Past a certain point, $2,000 or so, you start to see heavily diminishing returns per dollar spent. I'd keep it simple & hold onto the rest.

 

[jdogess]

OH thats cool.

so i could spend like $2,500 and get like a really kick ass gaming computer?

Or go for some exotic functions, maybe a dual-tuner tv card, perhaps raid 1+0 raptors, etc. That extra 1.5k can allow some interesting things. However, I'm still not posting a general parts recomendation untill he grammer edits.

Why will you not do a grammer edit?

 

[IGBT]

Wow, enough of the thread crapping.

:thumbsup:

Take a look at the building guide at the top of the forum. That should get you started on what parts you should be looking at. The AMD $1700 PC should be a good match for your needs

Guys, give him a good welcome at least. Even when I joined XtremeSystems like a week ago with a very good technical response to someone, I got a good welcome. I talked as if I was a part of them already, but still.

Just welcome the guy ok? At least give him some help. FX-57 is not coming out June is it? I'm not sure. I thought it got delayed. Then again "Q3" means a span of 3 months.

how about you list out hte stuff you have... like:

AMD Athlon 64 3200+ (Venice) - $199
1GB OCZ VX - $259

something like that. Yea, or link us to your Newegg wishlist.

 

[DanDaMan315]

Ok, before I make a list of stuff you should get, let me ask: Is there going to be any major OCage?

 

[jdogess]

im gonna oc it but not a crap load of it.

 

[IGBT]

..welcome aboard jdogess. What ever you end up with..use Sparkle power supplies. They're very reliable.

Maybe because you are spelling it wrong...

I agree. Just give the guy a nice welcome there is too much bitching and complaining on here now...people getting pissed at the dumbest little things and being assholes for no reason in particular...

Also "Q3" mean 3rd Quarter of the year not 3 months, but each quarter is a 3 month period. In this case we are in "Q2" and "Q3" is just under 2 months away...

Why do you think you're going to get a different response by cross posting the same question in several forums. original thread. Welcome to the forums. You may wish to take the time to learn some forum etiquite which would include not cross posting and using proper grammer. Posting like a third grader (see your 1st thread) is a good way to get ignored and flamed.

You mentioned in your 1st thread that your dad wants you to "learn all about computers". Wouldn't a gaming computer be counter productive to that?

I'm sorry, I suggested that he move the question over to general hardware because it was his first post before and I didn't think he was going to get a lot of opinions in technical support.

jdogess, I'm sorry you met some a$$hats here in general hardware. I guess if you want some serious responses, give up on this one and stick to the tech support thread.

You could spend less than that, even. If you're really itching to spend more though, a nice big LCD is a good way to do it

 

[Gadzookie]

you do not need 2500 to make a kick ass gaming comp ! 1500 is more then enough !

 

[Mrvile]

Welcome aboard. Most of us ATers are indeed assholes, but a lot of us really know what we're doing. Don't be afraid to ask questions, just don't say the wrong things.

Here are a few of my opinions:

3000 dollars is complete overkill unless you're spending most of it on a good monitor and sound. 2000 - maybe 2500 is max for a gaming comp by itself.

AT is full of people who want the most out of their money. If they can spend half as much on one system to get 3/4 the performance of another, they will. Keep that in mind when posting. And you should maybe consider price to performance ratio sometime.

Finally, do lots of research, know what you want out of your comp (and know what you don't need) and you'll save lots of time, money, and broken bones.

LoL. XtremeSystems is the place where people upgrade their Winchesters to Venices, and order San Diegos the day they hit Monarch for a good $60 more than the price a week later. I see the guys there upgrading Newcastles to Winchesters to Venices. Man. Crazy. Anyways, I say you should go with like a $2000 tops computer. $1500 should do even. You could get 2 of those in a period of like 5 years and stay on top of performance or you could spend $3000 one time and find your self in a dead end within 2 years.
