Gaming Build

[Runedrune]

Well I think I've finally done it. I'm going to be using it like for gaming, gaming and gaming. Maybe a little bit of photoshop + dreamweaver too. But my build is limited to the parts that are available here (pakistan).

My budget is like 75,000 pakistani rupees. (convert that if you want)

Western Digital (WD3200AAKS)
Corsair HX620W
Cooler Master 690
Samsung SH-S203B

Looks good. Already have a copy of WIndows? WHat resolution do you game at? anything lower than 22 i would save some money and get 4850. Good build though

Looks fine and dandy. I would try for some better case fans than what is included, though. Try some Yate Loons or you can take your pick out of this thread: http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1330817

Dominators are typically a waste of money. No regular XMS2 for considerable savings?. Everything else looks good.

1. Yeh I have a windows CD. I game at 1680x1050.

2. Ofc im gnna get better fans =p

3. Ye i might have to get xms2 instead since I cant find dominator in 2x2gb here.

Btw I'll have it oced up to 3.6ghz 24/7

Btw how is a HIS 4870? Cuz I cnt find sapphire here either.

I would go for the WD6400AAKS if you can find it. It's pretty much the best bang for the buck hard drive out there. Also, don't forget to pick up the back plate for the Xigmatek heatsink - pushpins ftl.

 

[Runedrune]

Yeh I got the back plate already. Yeh I can find the WD6400AAKS. I'll see if I can include that in my budget.

HIS is pretty good.

 

[Runedrune]

Yeah I have a thread up on which graphics card to get and currently HIS is in the lead. Well that's good since it is the easiest to get.

Just make sure the parts you ordered are the parts you get lol. When I ordered parts to build a comp for my cousins, half of the components were wrong but o well. Where are you getting the parts from anyway?

 

[Runedrune]

Max 2 is the only thing coming from America. Rest of the things I'm getting from a shop over here. Oh yeah and the Red Scorpion too. But I already have that. The Max 2 should be here soon. I'm waiting for someone that can bring it here.
