R4k PC

[killadoob]

yea g31 aint bad hey

have a g31 chipset running in my work machine and while its not the best overclocker it can overclock

my POV card is awesome

pXX are way better but i mean with your budget you dont have a choice

exclude vat so your looking at dropping the cpu to a 2180 to make 4k

yea you can play around drop the cpu

250GB-7200RPM 8MB Cache SATA II R 458 look better than the 160, your right about that



dont buy the 8600gt no matter what you decide

 

[sn3rd]

Just for the record, this isn't for me

 

[killadoob]

just ask if they can add another 700 bucks man

then u have a 2 gig machine with 7200 (good cpu for the price) and a 9600gt with a decent mobo

for 4.7k inc vat that aint half bad hey

 

[sn3rd]

Currently I'm looking at the following:

• [P5KPL-VM] - ASUS Intel G31, LGA775, 1333(OC)FSB, 2xDual DDR2, 1x PCI-x16, On Board VGA, 1xPCIx1, 2xPCI, 1xATA100, 4xSATAII, Gbe Lan, 6ch-Sound, Max 8xUSB, Micro ATX
• Core 2 Duo E4600
• TEAM 2GB DDR-II 800 RAM RETAIL PACK CL/SPEED 5-5-5-15 VOLTAGE 1.8V + 0.1V
• SAMSUNG SATAII 200GB, 16MB Buffer, 7200RPM, NCQ (Native Command Queuing),Native Serial ATAII (3.0Gbps)
• Point of View PCI-E 9600GT 512MB GDDR3-SDRAM 256 bit,Memory clock speed 1800 MHz ,Processor clock speed 650 MHz

Total comes to R4077-00 including VAT. Still need a power supply though...

Recommendations?

I would do that, except I had to push for R4000... Initially wanted gaming pc for R3000, but then I laughed at her

 

[Brawler]

that ati whips the 8600gt and its cheaper

Really? show me.

ya this looks perfect man

 

[sn3rd]

ya this looks perfect man

It does, but as I say... Still need a power supply for this, and I'm sure that graphics card will be pretty hungry :/

 

[killadoob]

not really

a gigabyte 450w goes for around 300-350 should be perfect

http://www.computersonly.co.za/productdetail.aspx?sku=ATX450W&categoryId=44396

that should do the job easily

that card should not chomp more than 180w under load, plenty left for mobo cpu ram and optical drives

 

[sn3rd]

not really

a gigabyte 450w goes for around 300-350 should be perfect

As I say though... R4500 might be pushing it. Will pitch it an see what happens... Thanks for your help killa... Awesome find on that motherboard! And I MEAN awesome

 

[sn3rd]

What's Liquidsilver stuff like?

 

[killadoob]

quality is something u expect from them

 

[Brawler]

8600GT vs 3650

*sorry for thread theft

Hello Forumites

My mission, should I choose to accept it, is to build a PC capable of playing games half-decently for R4000.

I require:
A PSU
A Motherboard
A CPU
RAM
Hard Drive
Graphics Card

The hard drive should be in the region of 160GB or more, and it would be a major bonus for the graphics card to have a 256bit bus.

What would you suggestions be?

Mobo: MSI AM2 1000FSB, DDR2 800: R399
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 5600+ 2.6ghz: R999
RAM: 2GB DDR2 800: R399
GFX: Asus 8600GT 512MB: R799
PSU: Gigabyte 460W: R349
HDD: Seagate SATAII 250GB: R499

Total: R3450

Or get a 512MB XFX 9600GT for R1599... Total R4250

2GB DDRII-800 R 353
mobo only has 2 slots so buying 1 2gb stick you could upgrade to 4 gig in future

160GB-7200RPM 2MB Cache R 445

Geforce 9600GT 650Mhz 512MB DDR3 Dual DVI XT Edition R 1,499
