Hi Guys,
I want to build a system to play emulators and put it inside of an NES case so I'm looking at a mini-itx motherboard and other small parts... Also I have heard its better to have a higher clocked single core when using emulators instead of lower clocked multiple cores? Can anyone verify that?
1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc
Gaming - emulators
2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included?
No budget, best bang for buck
3) Which country do you live in? If the U.S, please tell us the state and city if possible.
Ontario - Canada
4) What exact parts do you need for that budget? CPU, RAM, case, etc. The word "Everything" is not a valid answer. Please list out all the parts you'll need.
Mobo, CPU, RAM, PSU.
5) If reusing any parts, what parts will you be reusing? Please be especially specific about the power supply. List make and model.
250gb laptop harddrive, case fans
6) Will you be overclocking?
Doubt it, but if its the difference between smooth play and choppy play then yes
7) What is the max resolution of your monitor? What size is it?
55" 1080p
8) When do you plan on building/buying the PC?
Now
9) What features do you need in a motherboard? RAID? Firewire? Crossfire or SLI support? USB 3.0? SATA 6Gb/s? eSATA? Onboard video (as a backup or main GPU)? UEFI? etc.
HDMI out, and most likely onboard video
10) Do you already have a legit and reusable/transferable OS key/license? If so, what OS? Is it 32bit or 64bit?
Windows 7 64 bit. May use Linux though, not sure yet.
Any feedback is appreciated.
Thanks,
Foz
