DPM77's New Bragging Rights... PC Gaming Rig ; )
The parts I chose are:
MOBO: Biostar A770
GPU: EVGA 8800GT 512mb / 256-bit
HDD: WD Caviar SE16 320gb / 16mb cache / 7200 RPM
CPU : AMD Athlon 64 X2 5400+ Brisbane 2.8ghz 65W
RAM : Wintec AMPX DDR2 800mhz 4-4-4-12
CASE/ PSU: Nextherm ICS 8200
OPTICAL: Lite-on 20x DVD R Burner w/ lightscribe
OS: WinXP 32-bit - pirated, because I'm a G like that.
I'm going to be using an older 18" CRT monitor for now for two reasons, thought I'll upgrade to an lcd display in ... a year or so? Not sure.
1.) I already own it.
2.) It gets higher resolutions than an LCD.
My previous system specs for the xt5000t notebook were:
AMD Turion 64 X2 1.6ghz dual core (3.12 rated)
100GB Fujitsu SATA 1.5 5400RPM Hard Drive
2gb DDR2 533mhz RAM @ 4-4-4-8 timings
7600GO graphics w/ 256mb GDDR2 memory (128-bit)
I think I can say I'm in for a world of a difference. What do you guys think? And, if you're computer savvy, do you think my build is fine if I use the 460W power supply that comes with my case? That's the only "iffy" aspect of this build that I can think of right now. I haven't received the parts, but they should be here sometime this week (Wednesday being the earliest, I think).
Also, if you have a high end computer, or one that you consider an able-gamer, please post your specs. I'm actually quite interested in computers... of which I bet none of you really realized. Are there more people like me around here or am I just some weird alien?
