[Enjin Archive] Next gaming computer build! :D
Started by Unknown User

Hey guys,

Some of you may know that I build computers, and I'm going to show you the build for my next computer!

(If you don't like computer tech, you're going to be bored to death)

I WILL ONLY LIST THE PARTS PEOPLE CARE ABOUT.

nobody cares about fans and heatsinks these days.. D:

$179.99

(Thinking of overclocking to 3.8GHz, possibly higher matters on my CPU fan)

Motherboard:
MSI 890FXA-GD70 AM3 AMD 890FX SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard

$194.99

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130274
(Won best of the best 2010)

Western Digital Caviar Black WD1502FAEX 1.5TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive

(It's a gaming computer, the hard-drive only needs enough HDD to be able to hold the games)

(One word, SEXY)

8GX3M2A1600C8R

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820233185&cm_re=corsair_vengeance-_-20-233-185-_-Product
(Corsair is well known for their reliability for their products, plus i've bought RAM from them before)

Video card:
I'm currently still searching for a video card, but I have a Radeon HD 5770 series. Hopefully I will be getting a Radeon HD 6850 or maybe even a newer model.
(Crossfire with these cards will be insane)


Please dont ridicule me if you think the build is bad, I do accept constructive criticism though! Please take into account that this is only my third build and that I have a life, thanks!

dude, when i asked you to get hotpockets i didn't mean my camera..
For VGA use Gtx 550 Ti pretty good
I would get smaller space hard drive and buy two, then put in raid 0 for faster performance. Or buy a SSD.

The 5770 card is over kill card to play minecraft. I'm assuming you play other games as well though.

I'm also surprised you need 8gb of memory. My main pc only has 4gb and I never use more than 3gb playing demanding games.

NIce looking build!
I wish I could build a new desktop comp but not for a while. But im buying a laptop soon.

I'm hijacking this thread lol.

Someone find me a sweet laptop for 1000$. (Needs to be able to ship to canada)
FU bro </3

But i'll help ya.

I'm getting a Radeon 6850, they're about $160, which is nice bang for your buck, and i will have sick crossfire.

I don't really play minecraft anymore, i play CSS, TF2, and I'm waiting for skyrim. Which will be amazing with the 6850!

Gear, don't get him into alienware xD

Reggie don't be impressed if it says i7, because they use a shit version of i7 that lots of computers have just to make people think they're good. Alienware is only good for their custom LED and designs. And their guarantee.
