What do you guys think?

Not sure if it's any use posting in this quiet forum :<

[Glenage]

I don't understand the post? Are you showing off your specs? Or want to know if your spec is good?

If your showing off then well done :)

If you want to know if that is a good spec then; Yes it is very nice, will run Lineage II smoothly on highest settings and will run any thing you can throw at it.

[Imvarda]

Want to know if it's good :P

Haven't bought it yet.

Think I might change above vid card to Sapphire XT1900X(or whatever), a bit more expensive but one of the best.

I don't play L2, just wanna run F.E.A.R and oblivion on it, and new games that come out:P

thanks for the input, I'd like to know if it's a good combo...basically.

[Glenage]

Yes mate I'd buy that if you have the money. Its a good set-up. Will run ANY game on the market at the moment and any game that comes out in the next few years.

I wouldn't buy the Sapphire XT1900X to be honest, stick with the GeForce 7800 GT. The difference is not worth the price. Don't forget that mobo you are buying is SLI, which means at some point in the future you can buy another GeForce 7800 GT and install that next to your current GeForce 7800 GT so you would be running two of them.

Hope that helps,
Glenage

Thanks Glenage.

Will cost around 800-900 pound, as I'm buying a surround set as well, the memory is good quality so kinda pricy, and the case is around 50-60 quid.

Probably around 1400-1500$ and 1000-1100 euros.

Living in the UK atm so buying it from www.ebuyer.co.uk
nice cheap website for computer parts.

[Imvarda]

That was me ^

Sounds good mate, I paid £450 for my last upgrade, but that wasn't as powerful as yours and I didnt get a surround set.

Probably around 1400-1500$ and 1000-1100 euros.

Probably less than that because we pay a lot more for stuff than they do abroad :dwm_cry:

Yeah I had a look and there prices seem fair. Never used them myself I've always gone with Scan.co.uk or Dabs.com (and I was happy with both)

[Imvarda]

I'll have a look at both, cheers.

Good specs.
System will run smoth and what one guys said , you are open in future for SLI and when you get some $ buy second SATA hdd and put them into raid matrix.

don't run raedon cards i have one for my cpu and u have to reset the CMOS every restart or u wont get video. just my 2 cents


stay with the 7800 and save money and buy another and sli it i also suggest uping the power supply to a 600 watt

[Xan]

O yeah power suply didnt seen that.
450 W is not enough.
Get 600+ Sea sonic PSU.

[Imvarda]

I wouldn't know how to install a PSU tbh :o

-edit-

lol, is a new PSU really needed? That's fucking expensive shit.

[Imvarda]

I'll just get this: Ebuyer 550w ATX Silent Neon PSU/12cm fan/PPFC(no power cord)

£19.97

Fuck getting a 70 pound seasonic one :P

Now to find a nice case:< Someone show me one(cheap~ish though)

[Glenage]

Well, A 450W will be enough unless he plans to SLI.

Is that 24pin? Better to check that it is as your mobo will require a 24 pin PSU.

If in doubt buy this http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/products/index.html?rb=17940828821&action=c2hvd19wcm9kdWN0X292ZXJ2aWV3&product_uid=106645

Cheap but packs 550W, 24pin, true power.

[Xan]

Well imo its smarter to buy now good <550+ W> PSU.
If you get 450 or so in like 6-10 months when you will go with SLI /next hdd for raid/some other stuff/ you will end up geting new psu.
Also check if that psu you want is aproved by newest ATX standard.

[Imvarda]

The above mentioned PSU. ^

Since I now need a new case I found this one to be kinda cool:

-I'll have a look at the PSU you mentioned too Glen.

-Comes with SATA Connector and 20 - 24 Pin Converter ^, so I should be fine.

-edit- ATX 12V compliant for all kinds of CPU and mainboard ^

[Imvarda]

Gets good reviews as well, has a 4pin connector as well.

[Glenage]

Looks good mate. gogogogogo buy it all :)

[Imvarda]

I get paid tomorrow ;) can't wait.

[Hahn]

Lol @ people saying 450W PSU isn't enough for a normal system... Maybe you should buy a good PSU yourself instead of recommending others to go for 600+ Watt.

No one said 450W would'nt be enough. Not unless he was using SLI. A nVidia 7800 can consume upto 110W during game play, times that by two and you have 220W just from the GFX cards then you have the rest of the computer to power. Bearing in mind most (not the more expensive ones) PSU's wont give out the wattage they are rated at 100% of the time. And lets face it if your playing L2 the your computer is going to be on for hoooours :dwm_happy .

PSU is the main cause of cpu crashes because of power failure, you could try that one but yea if your cpu starts to crash/fail it is probaly going to be your PSU

i do have a good psu, thanks for the recommendation tho kthxbai

[Imvarda]

Damnit, I don't want to go over 1000 pound at this moment, and I'm already fairly close to that.

If I want SLI later, i'll buy a new PSU. For now I'm going to stick to that 450 Arctic cooling one.

All I'll have is a CPU + Mobo + DVD RW + 2x1gb corsair RAM + 120gb IDE + 250gb SATA anyway.

Can't take that much watt!
