New Pc Build Suggestions

[guy93]

Alright so basically, its not a whole new build, just a new case, mobo, and cpu. i got ram,dvd drive,psu,video card.

Heres what i was looking at:

Cpu - http://ncix.com/products/index.php?tab=1&sku=27784

Mobo - http://ncix.com/products/index...75-A1&manufacture=eVGA

Case - http://ncix.com/products/index...N2-SL&manufacture=Xion

or http://ncix.com/products/index...nufacture=COOLERMASTER


What do you guys think of this, good or no ? i need it for gaming, and i got a good enough graphics card for it and the cpus great. if anybody comes up with something better for the price, please reply

Antec Threehundred

Great case with awesome cooling. I would only go for the Coolermaster or the Antec. I wouldn't give that Xion case the time of day.

As for motherboards, are you ever going to have dual graphics cards??? If you're asking us then you more then liekly won't as for 99% of people it's not feesable. If not then you're overspending more for a feature you'll never use. Would you even have a powerful enough psu to run SLI???

If you're never going to go with dual graphics cards then try one of these.

Gigabyte EP45-DS3L
Gigabyte EP45-UD3R

The UD3R has the best potential for overclocking if you plan on overclocking I would get that. If not then the DS3L is a great board that can still overclock well.

What kind of power supply do you have? I hope a quality one. It's not recommended to run a no-name low quality psu with components you actually care about.

If you plan on OCing, save yourself some $$$ and buy an E7300.
If you plan on OCing, buy PC2-6400 memory.

As for the Mobo, Im not a Mobo Expert here, but those two gigabyte mobos above linked, do they have a pci-e 2.0 slot ? i dont think i will ever go sli since i like small monitors, i run at a 19" monitor.

The EP45-UD3R uses a Texas Instruments firewire controller = :thumbsup::laugh:
