Tymac94 Posted November 21, 2008 Author Share Posted November 21, 2008 What kind of Motherboard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarbizkit Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 build the machine around the video card. if your budget is only 1050 then you should probably spend close to 40% - 50% of that on the vid card. that should leave you about 600 or so to build the rest of the machine. being this close to christmas you might also find some deals. good luck.

PLuNK Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 I'd setup a RAID0 array, You don't want to be bottlenecked by the harddrive, When you spend so much on the other hardware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markhimself Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 pfft dont bother with 9500gt haha u want to go all the way with gtx 260 as the others say, 40 - 60 % budget on your graph card, buy a cheap but very overclockable cpu. dont bother on an expensive sli board, the cheap ones with 1 graphic slot are sufficient. leave your case budget to the end - dont have a shiny case but bolloks inside, anything thats big enough for a gtx260 is good.

Rab Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 I'm thinking it might be better to buy a PC off the shelf. The last 4 friends I had build a gaming PC all had dodgy components!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PLuNK Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 That's why you have warranties! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cabster21 Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 I agree with some with what has been said, but I think a GTX 280 is overkill for a 19" monitor. I would at least bring it down to the 260 if you want to stay with Nvidia. I would go for at least the 4GB RAM, don't bother putting in 2, take advantage of DDRII being cheap. The Antec 300 was mentioned, that's a good cheap case, it's very simple but the two fans do a good job of cooling. But are pretty loud on the high settings. I built a system in one of them not too long ago. The P5QL Pro was mentioned, I prefer the P5QL-E for a P43 based board. You went for an Nforce chipset, which has been getting some bad press, but I've ran them in the past and they do a pretty good job. I think the selection you posted is pretty good, just maybe tweak it to get 4GB RAM. The board you mentioned is more thant say the P5QL Pro and the E, so you could maybe switch to one of them and get the 4GB RAM. I'm basing this on the prices over here, I assume they're about the same in relation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deathknight93 Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Ya seriously 40 -60% of your budget can be spent on your graphic card the 260 or the 280 are superb.If you want your pc only for gaming this is the ultimate choice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaKo Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 MOOR RAM!! (And make sure to get 2x2GB rather than 4x1GB, that way you can crank it up to 8GB in due course). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the-person-yah Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 ANYONE SUGGEST TEH ATI CARDS? come on people! id recommend a Crossfire mobo and a ATI card amd processor too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bourvi Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Well the only ATI card on your budget would be between the 4050, the 4070 or if you really want to spend a lot of money on your graphics card, it would be the 4070x2 2G for about 550$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
