Solve : My Comp?

Answer»

Hey guys i recently bought a whole bunch of new parts of my choice and built a new comp. Just wondering if you guys can tell me what else would be good and if I've made a bad decision or two.

AMD Athlon 3800+ Dual Core CPU
Abit Fatal1ty Motherboard
1GB DDR2 800 Ram
80GB SATA Drive and 250GB ATA
XFX DDR3 6800XT 256mb Extreme Vid Card SLi Ready
Thermaltake Soprano CASE in Black
Upgraded PSU to 550watt Codegen

I'm thinking I maybe get another gig of ram....and maybe another vid card and SLi it up.

Thoughts?What OS? I am pretty sure 1GB RAM is good enough 
It really depends what you are thinking of doing with your computer. Are you going to play games and 3d modelling or just work related like surfing the internet and using MS Word.Oh sorry XP Pro SP2.

Well I've been playing a few games. I'll also be hooking up my TV to the vid card to watch movies and what not. I basically want a quick reliable computer that will last me awhile.

And yes I will buy a GENUINE windows cd soon. Quote from: kenny87 on May 04, 2007, 09:01:18 AM

He's gonna play games ie  (SLI)   why not get another 80 gig sata 2# together in  raid o      why the  ata drive ?
if hardcore gaming get the  extra gig     ....  looks nice  good  job   
Well I bought the ATA HDD for my other comp, which didnt have an SATA mobo. It had all my files on it so i put it in the new comp.well, you basically have what you need but LET me recommend these
the price is most nice and the quality is  superb !!!  (i just got them and I'm pretty blown away!)

Logitech Z5300e      <<  with a little CHEAP "creative"  sound blaster card  they  ROCK....
(cheap newegg)   Well......the mobo has 7.1ch Audio with Digital out..but currently i have a 2 channel Sony amp hooked into it with some decent speakers.no problem with that..... I just wanted those speakers to pizz off neighbors!!!
just kidding....

I'd go ahead and use it awhile , then see down the road what you might want to upgrade   A better video card would be nice. Quote from: Calum on May 04, 2007, 11:50:46 AM

now that you bring this up ( i didn't even check it out)  duhhhhhh
isn't his vid card  an  AGP

HIS BOARD shows  PCI-E  slots    weird..........

but yes,  your right!Contrary to popular belief there are still some AGP cards that are as good or better than some PCI-e units...Yeh its PCI-E.....do AGP cards have SLi too?Here's some pics of the sexy beast



Nice desk. Nicely crowded, great for cooling and great for collecting dust.

Three out of four of those comments were sarcasm right?
