Might consider another case, those 5x80mm fans will drive anyone crazy.
Two 120mm are ideal and will avoid a symphony of whirling fan blades. >> Stay informed about: I'm building a new gaming PC, I was wondering if I could g.. |

Yuh thanks, I was just wondering if that would be a good gamming
system, and if i had everything together right like the right kind of
power supply motherboard etc. and i was thinking going to the 8800 or
to the XFX512mb795ogtxt, thanks a lot for the help peter. I am just
building a new computer, and them are all the parts i have in mind,
just wondering if them were good before i ordered all of them, i
choose a bad choice of words in describing my question before, but you
answered most of it, i was just wondering on all the parts, and i was
also wondering if anyone had expererince with any of these parts. >> Stay informed about: I'm building a new gaming PC, I was wondering if I could g.. |

And your looking for what???..............a better system??.......???
What you have sounds like it will play most if not all of the games
available today.........it your worried about tommorow upgrade the Video

Don't buy an Ultra PSU! Do not have a good name. Will probably run that
system, but will struggle if you upgrade video card later.

This may be controversial, but the Intel Core2 Duo CPUs seem to the
preferred ones for gaming systems at the moment. (I'm not an Intel fan. My
current CPU is an E6600, but the previous one was a Socket 939 Athlon X2
4400+.) That's especially true if you're willing to overclock. The E6600 is
available now for a little over $200, so it's not expensive.
If you go with a C2D, consider a mainboard based on the new Intel P35
chipset. It gives a small increase in memory performance over the older
chipsets.
For the graphics card, an 8800GTS is probably a better choice than a 7950GT.
(It costs more, though.) Get an 8600 if you want a DX10 card but can't
spring for an 8800.
Don't bother with 4 GB of RAM if you'll be running a 32 bit OS (regular XP,
or Vista 32). You won't get the full benefit of much more than approx. 3 GB.
If you get a Seagate HD, go for a 7200.10. That series uses perpendicular
recording technology (higher density). I doubt that it gives a life-altering
performance boost over the older drives, but the price differential is
small.
If you're careful, you can avoid buyer's remorse for getting too much
old-tech stuff without spending too much extra cash.
HTH.

You might want better.
> Memory= Crucial 4gb (Kit) CT2KIT25664AA53E
I would go with Windows XP, and you don't need more than two or 3 GB
to start with, 2 GB would be okay with at least one memory slot open.
Also, you don't need a "kit". The same memory modules will do.
> Hard Drive= Seagate Barracuda 7200RPM 400 GB
I would go with 10,000 rpm Raptor(s). I am a gamer running on a 37 GB
Raptor with 2 GB of RAM.
You can measure RAM and video memory usage easily enough.
> Video Card= nVidia 7600
I have a 7950GT/512 MB. You need at least that.
> Case= Sunbeam UV Led uv blue reactive clear case (80mm fans((5 case

Buy a case that has an intake fan blowing on the hard drive rack.
> Power Supply= Apeva/500wat/ATX/dual 80mm/led fan
Wattage doesn't mean much, quality means a lot. I'm using an Antec
TruePower II 380W.
Personally... I couldn't care less about Ellie Dees.
> CPU cooling= Themaltake TMC A3CPU COOLER
The stock cooler on an AMD or Intel is fine IMO with proper case
ventilation.
> Others= Sunbeam Chromatic Windmill
Like for making fruit smoothies?
If you have any problems with spontaneous restarts or you suspect
house current is not up to par, buy a voltage regulator (line
conditioner). Works wonders here. An uninterruptible power supply is
okay, but not as reliable. Most gamers (who know enough to keep copies
of any important files from the hard drive) probably don't need
battery backup. Just depends on your personal needs. Either will help
cope with power supply issues.
Good luck and have fun. >> Stay informed about: I'm building a new gaming PC, I was wondering if I could g.. |

The reason I used the 4gb 2gb kit, is so that i wont waste money when
i want to upgrade, and the motherboard has plenty of room to upgrade
on better athlon AM2 sockets, and the reason i didnt go all out with a
video card for DX10 is because theres no reason for a DX10 there isnt
any DX10 things that im going to really be running, the highest think
i will be running is be the Flight Simulator X with some Vanguard Saga
of Heros, and some WoW. and by the time any games im gonna be playing
that support DX10 and as a requirment, they will be a lot cheaper...
Am i thinking right?? And the reason my Hard Drive is a 7200RPM, is
because my motherboard only supports that kind... And on my power
supply i had a correction to make it was a Ultra, which i was told was
not a good name... Any1 got any suggestions on a better??
and the Windmill reason is for fan control on what i was thinking, of
the 5 case fans, not fully needing to be annoying me all the time...
ill relock for a APX motherboard supporter, So i guess i dont need a
CPU cooler, that a good thing, and the Abit have a chipset cooler
built in and i will also look for a case with Harddrive fans and maybe
also something by the Motherboard... and also if anyone has some good
Motherboard suggestions, that would be nice, becuase i can always
sneek around memory, and the other reason on my memory for this board
is that i cant have only 1 DIMM at a time, there has to be a pair of
memory, and like i said, if anyone has suggestions on motherboards,
ETC. also im looking at about a $999 ish budget, is the reason i didnt
put 1k is becuase im really not trying to dig into the 1k area. thanks
for all the quick respones every1, its helped me a lot so far >> Stay informed about: I'm building a new gaming PC, I was wondering if I could g.. |

Windows XP handles up to 3 GB, that's more than enough for gaming now.
If you're planning to use Windows Vista, your system will be slower.
I don't know of any current games that require more than 2 GB of RAM.
You could go with a 2 GB module and add another one later. Kits are
not necessary.

The 7950GT doesn't support DirectX 10. The computer games I play
don't require it. Whatever. I think you are skimping on the video
card.
My system is about right for Supreme Commander on small two
versus two maps.

I'm sure it does. As far as I know, almost all modern mainboards you
are looking for support a 10,000 RPM Raptor. It's a gamer's hard
drive. >> Stay informed about: I'm building a new gaming PC, I was wondering if I could g.. |

Is the 74gb a SATA hard drive?? the Raptor of course, and ill go with
the 7950 GT I will be spending a little over of what i wanted, but
thats to be expected and ok... So is the Proccesor and Motherboard
good? and if not any suggestions? and thanks again everyone for all

Do you want this to play the latest games? Like Crysis ?
If so, my recommendation is WAIT and then build one of these:
#1
x38 mb, quad penryn, g90, ddr3
potential cost: $2k+
#2
$266 E6850/Q6600 come July 22nd, p35 or 965p mb, ddr2, 8800 gtx
potential cost: ~$1500
hdd = western digital raptor 74 or 150 gig for both but get a case
that has a fan blowing on it. >> Stay informed about: I'm building a new gaming PC, I was wondering if I could g.. |

10,000 RPM the crucial memory but two 1gb sticks for 2gb like everyone
else suggested. Fatalty1 motherboard AMD proccesor havent found a good
power supply and case, thats my only thing left, motherboard comes
with really nice auido card, fits my surround sound perfect.. Dropping
the CPU cooler and Windmill, so does anyone have any good power
supplies and cases that dont cost like a whole lot and i need a case
with an intake fan on the hard drive, im almost done just need case
and power supply, any help in that area? >> Stay informed about: I'm building a new gaming PC, I was wondering if I could g.. |
