Solve : Buying new Pc? |
|
Answer» Well.. Im planning on buying a new pc from Cyberpower.com, since Im 15 years old, my knowledge of Pcs is quite limited. I picked 2x Extra Case Cooling Fan. Is this neccessary? no. you only need 1 extra 120mm case fan for the front intake area of the case, other then that, the case comes with the side panel 120mm fan and the exhaust 120mm fan. ***NOTE*** when installing the front 120mm intake fan, be sure to have it facing the correct way. it should be sucking air in from the front of the case and blowing it out towards the back. installing the fan backwards can actually cause the comp to get hotter. Quote Are there fans inside the original case I picked? yes, the side panel 120mm intake fan and the rear 120mm exhaust fan are included with the case. Quote Would 4x1Gb be the same in its efficiency? no. you would have the same amount of RAM, but 2x2gb is more efficient. Quote None- Format Hard Drive Only. this means your hardrive will be formatted (most likely in NTFS format), but an OS will not be installed. only choose this option if you already own a version of windows and you can legally install it on the new computer. Quote Are there gonna be Taxes? absolutely, there might also be shipping costs if you are having it delivered. i would like to know the price of each individual component you listed (to make sure you are not getting ripped off. if you could supply a link to each component that would be awesome) and the make/model of the FOLLOWING components... -power supply -RAM -monitor -harddrive -flash media reader/writer i will go more into detail on your current hardware when i have the prices/details of each component. for now, there is one big thing i spotted... Quote NetWork: Intel Pro Gigabite 10/100/1000 Network Card your motherboard comes with its own RJ45 LAN jack. you do not need this card unless you plan on directly connecting to another PC.I picked the components from Cyberpower.com, so i do not know the exact price. http://www.cyberpowerpc.com/system/Intel_Core_2_Quad_SLI_Custom_Build_Configurator#configurator_top I would really like to reduce the price to $1500 including tax. Thank you for the help ok here are some suggestions for lowering the price without taking too much of a performance hit. 1. downgrade the CPU to the Q6600 2. stick to the stock intel CPU heatsink 3. downgrade to the 8800GTS 512mb video card |
