Season's End- Build up or die: Summer's End

• Habskii wrote on 2011-07-15 21:16
  Well i was inspired by juju's post to bring my very old post from HQ to here and re-update as i had some draw backs so i couldn't go on with it and had to cancel. Now it's reopen Yay!!!!
  
  *everyone clap* >:V
  
  I plan to get this all in my house and working by the end of summer....
  
  Ok, so after dealing with this B.S for hmm...1 yr and 10 months now i guess i know my laptop, what to do so i won't crash, set my graphics according for me to host and give good bars and at what times to record and when it's just to much that the screen moves every 2 seconds.
  Now, i have decided if anything to BUILD a PC from scratch. Umm... im focused to get myself a PC and stop dealing with this laptop with limited space to play this game and also other projects that deals with the career im heading in.
  
  Now all i am requesting is a few pointers here and there, advice and recommendations for this to be sccesfull. Budget? i really don't know atm but i do know it will cost alot. If you giving me prices and stuff like say an nvidia Geforce 9600 GTX compared to a Geforce 6800 or to compare it to a ATI Radeon, would you be kind enough to add in major specification, +/- (pro,con) and also prices.
  
  Below i will state my Laptop specifications for referencing or anything at all. Actually i'll probably print screen it and attach. I will also be posting what i found on the net and you guys could tell me if it is a good buy or not. I want my PC to look awesome so yes im gonna look for a sleek sexy ass, lights up here and there PC case. (found it)
  
  Thank You Very Much in Advance!
  Below i Provided my Specs...i think.

  Err... sorry dude, but your build is messed up. Why do you list random parts that are "not being made anymore"? And you go on rambling about irrelevant things for ever. Keep the post short and to the point if you want someone to help. D:
  
  For starters, you made the same mistake BizarreJuju did by going with an outdated CPU platform. Go back to the thread that inspired you and read my posts, then post an updated, cleaner version of what you want to do.
• Habskii wrote on 2011-07-15 22:28
  i just skimmed her post and oh
  D;
  i din know that version of the CPU was outdated O.O
  And also i brought the post form VindiHQ so those highlighted in red are not being made anymore so i want to replace those so ppl would know. That was a list from ..whenever i made it, umm.. and not everything is necessarily random...i tinks...
  I'll go read juju's thingy and see what you're talking about.
  
  Alos i love ot add background to my posts XD so usually u would need to skip the first 2-3 paragraph's
  
  The only thing i see wrong atm is my Mobo
  i guess this one will do
  ASUS P8Z68-V LGA 1155 Intel Z68 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
  http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813131729
  
  the HDD seems fine to me, im looking for a good SDD, and PSU
  umm the ram sticks also look ok to me O.O.
  Noting that graphics card need to be immensely upgraded....
  
  what do you suggest for a CPU in my case cuz i don't really get it, all i read is that they are both i7....anyways im black so more ignorance will be apparent.
  Going to use progs like Autodesk Rivet Architecture and other progs and then run games like vindi and stuff on high *blade & soul if it ever goes F2P*

  Still hearing for your voice on the CPU...i reeli don't know the difference and also they expensive as shizz o.e
• BobYoMeowMeow wrote on 2011-07-16 00:06
  well..
  whats the budget?
• Yoorah wrote on 2011-07-16 00:07
  Budget?
  
  As far as CPU is concerned, it's as I said in the other thread(s). Ideally, you want the i7-2600K or i5-2500K. Both these CPUs are very powerful, with the 2500K being about $100 cheaper but still not that much slower than the 2600K. This is where your budget planning comes in. If you want to optimize for cost-effectiveness, then the 2600K is a "waste." If you want to optimize for high performance, then the 2600K is a very fast chip that doesn't cost a stupid amount.
  
  The motherboard you picked is a good, reputable board.
  
  The hard drive is fine. I'd pick the 6Gb/s version instead, however.. even though there will be almost no performance difference between the two for the most part.
  
  RAM is fine, but I'd go with a 4GBx2 kit. RAM isn't that expensive and 8GB can help in some situations.
  
  The power supply is of low quality, however. And you don't need a "700W" one either. I'd go with this.
  
  I don't like your case choice, but that's a personal thing. The price is ok. Just make sure it can accomodate whatever graphics card you choose (length wise). Some cases can't fit the bigger cards out there.
  
  You didn't seem to pick a graphics card, so I will direct you to this guide: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/best-graphics-card,2964.html
  Pick a category according to your budget reqs.
  
  If you need more clarification, feel free to ask.

  Please don't get a rosewill power supply or i'll beat you with it like a mace.
• Habskii wrote on 2011-07-16 01:48
  umm budget undisclosed, i don't know how much i want to dish out in but im in the means of $800-950 or around there i guess... we can ut it @ 800 for now as budget....
  How much is the 2600? low 200's or high 200's? Hmm any recommended Rams with the specific 4GB x 2 before i choose something for Osayidan to dispute?
  
  Well...the case gives ample air room and i like how there are 3 fans and it comes with 2. Also i like the blue light that i can see! >:V
  If you can show me a case like that or close i'll take a look. well there's space for a GTX 460 to fit with space, i don't think the 500 series is that much bigger
  (surely going with the GTX series;newer). I plan to put the Bgears B-cool Fan right on the back pannel so i can see the temp inside, the blue 80 mm fan on the side where the glass is i'm keeping there and then im gunna take the stock black fan (is replaced by the Bgears fan) to the front right where the HDD bay is ( if you see the video in the spoiler under ther case, and go to 3:40, u'll see what im talkin about).
  
  @Osayidan .... *puts rosewell down* well.. *picks up bow and loads Magnum* what you gon do bout it?
  *pics up the 620W antec* i'll be taking this... and your gunna withdraw your mace....
• BobYoMeowMeow wrote on 2011-07-16 23:38
  a 2600k is possibly one of the most cost efficient top tier CPUs
  it's $315 and can outperform other cards priced at $1000ish
  however, people recommend not to use stock fans for the cpu
  
  You need DDR3 ram
  2 X 4GB is only about $60-80 (newegg deals)
  Kingston and Corsair are the best if you care about brands
  (Life time warranty for Kingston)
  
  Geforce GTX 460 is out of stock at newegg and will not be restocked
• Habskii wrote on 2011-07-17 00:04
  i figured they wouldn't last long. Everyone is buying them and then overclocking them to the extreme to do way better than a stock 560 TI and up to par or past the 580 O.e
  
  The 580 sounds liek a bang for me but that price is.... 560 it is!
  
  And i see...which cooler would you suggest that is CHEAP like, not flea market cheap but like cheap enough to not make my pocket swell...
  
  only thing i'll be changing is prolli 3 yrs after it's being built and it will prolly only be the gfx, maybe adding in another HDD/SDD
