It should not be allowed to post a thread in GH in which the answer to sticky question number six is "no lol halp plz ". We're seeing way too much of that. It's not like it's so hard to flick through a couple of the front page buyer's guide articles, or to be honest 80% of the rest of General Hardware, which will have nigh-identical builds. :|

It's much easier to simply post a thread and have people come to you, than to do all that searchin' and readin'

This is my first post, so I am sorry if this is not in the correct section. Any help would be appreciated.

RAM - OCZ Reaper HPC 4GB (2X2GB) 800MHz
HDD - Western Digital Caviar SE16 WD6400AAKS 640GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive - OEM
Cabinet - Antec P180
Power Supply - Thermaltake Purepower W0100RU 500W ATX 12V 2.0 Power Supply 115/ 230 V UL, CUL, TUV, FCC, and CB certification

2. Sapphire HD 4850 512MB PCI-Express Video Card (Bought it already read good reviews on it)

3. G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1000 (PC2 8000) (Thinking of getting)

6.Western Digital Caviar SE16 WD6400AAKS 640GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive ( good reviews bought it)

7. okay now here is the hard part.....were u guys come in. I'm having EXTREME difficulty choosing a mother board from a p45 mother board chip set. I'm looking into these companies asus, msi, or gigabyte with a FSB 1333mhz.

Please post which motherboard wouldn't fry up during OVER CLOCKING, and wat other ram they would recommend. Also post motherboards and DDR2 RAM which people had success overclocking. THANK YOU ALL

 

[Roguestar]

People, when you post telling us you'll be "multitasking a lot" like "listening to music while downloading and browsing the internet", please adjust your sentence into "normal usage". Stuff like ripping a DVD while playing HD video while doing all of the above counts as multitasking. You don't need a quad core because you have office, internet explorer and winamp open at the same time. Even if you have idon'tcarehowmany tabs open in your browser. Modern operating systems are built with the idea you might try and do a few things at once in mind, it's just when you decide you'll need to play some Crysis while transcoding your DVD rip, on a daily basis, that it becomes something to seriously consider when buying hardware.

10. Do you have a MicroCenter nearby?

 

[IndianWarbones]

I was told I should post here, so I'll just copy what I put in my thread. I'm interested in buying a computer, but I don't have any idea what to look for and where to buy it from or how much it would cost. I'd be using it mostly for gaming. I want to run games like Fallout: New Vegas, Crysis 2, and Medal of Honor on their best settings. If anyone could point me in the right direction, it would be appreciated.

 

[betasub]

IndianWarBones: you were asked to answer the questions from the first post in this sticky thread. Please post your answers back in your original thread. IFAIK, this sticky thread is not the place for personal build requests, merely a template.

 

[kyuubi92]

Never mind..built.

 

[DisgruntledVirus]

Thanks for the template

 

[ncalipari]

[aphelion02]
