LIES!

Heck with all the 'help config my pc' topics I might as well tag along now while you're all warmed up

Goal is medium / high end gaming, but I don't have to play everything completely maxed out, not spending over 1k Euro's at least.

So yeah



Text added because there's some Dutch stuff in there ^

I don't know if I should get faster RAM, or a different mobo, or if the power supply would be good for this.

Thanks for any input!

I'd upgrade to a Q6660 or E8400.

Okay, is the difference in performance big?

I've had AMD for the past 5 years or something, no clue how good intel is nowdays hehe.

Yes maybe a better processor there are some better a little more expensive than then 6000+ and besides the 6000+ is old now. :p

800MHz memory probably just as cheap but faster, check if ur mobo supports it btw.

I'd also go for an E8400.

Okay I tried to configure a intel pc, similar parts but different processor and faster ram.



I put in a slightly more expensive cpu than the E8400, no clue about itel though so I wonder if this would be somewhat balanced and better than the AMD

..and compatible too now I think of it. :\

Just get a new motherboard that has the right socket for the processor and you will be fine.

Doesn't this fit? Thought I picked both 775 socket parts

thanks for all the help so far

i'd switch that 8800gt for a hd 4850, get an e8400 and your good to go.

( which site is that , alternate.nl is also a good dutch online pc site )

Okay swiched a bit again,



I looked trough some sites and found out that the hd4850 should outperform the 8800gt so I'll go with that

also put the e8400 in there.

Site is http://www.norrod.nl pretty much the only computer store with custom build pcs in my city.

looks good, if you can fork another 60~70€ i'd get a P5Q or a P5K with a P45/P35 chipset

WAIT WAIT WAIT!!

Does the hd 4850 really out perform the 8800?

Well there are alot of mobos to choose from and alot of em have p5k or p5q stuff in their name, could you point a good mobo out from this list?

Well after I read the post about this card I googled around a bit and found a few sites where the difference between the 8800gt and the 4850 was discussed, and I saw multiple people saying that; at least for gaming.

Hmm, you should only really get a basic P5K or P5Q. all the other version have only some addons, the basics stay the same

Okay thanks alot for the help!

It will take some time for the store to get all the parts and build it but when I have the thing here I'll post how it works cheers guys
