Finally, the long wait for SB is over. Time to start a new year with a new computer!
1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing?
Alot of multi-task between painting( photoshop/painter), firefox( with sometime over 100tabs), gaming with a wide range of game, 3d modelling and many other thing... Computer will mostly run 24/7 with ff open mostly of the time.
2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included?
In Canadian Dollar, from 1500-2500$ Tax and Ship included, can go a little higher if it's really needed.
3) Where do you live?
Quebec Canada
4) What exact parts do you need for that budget? CPU, RAM, case, ect.
Everything... So Motherboard, CPU, 1GPU, RAM, Tower, Power Supply, dvd burner, Hard Drive.
5) If reusing any parts, what parts will you be reusing? Please be especially specific about the power supply. List make and model.
I've seen people use old graphic card for "PhysX" but I doubt it would be such a big deal... so nothing in here but that if it really worth it..
Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTX (768 MB)
6) Will you be overclocking?
Overclocking.... That's one scary world I know nothing about. If i had someone to help me with it, I'd probly give it a try on my old one, see the change and adapt it on my new one.
7) What size monitor do you have and/or plan to have?
Dell 3007WFP-HC and a crappy Toshiba 32" in dual screen mode.
8) When do you plan on building/buying the PC?
Depending on the price, This month asap, february at latest if there's a badluck.
9) What features do you need in a motherboard? RAID? Firewire? Crossfire or SLI support?
SLI and maybe raid.
10) Do you already have a legit and reusable/transferable OS key/license? If yes, what OS? 32bit or 64bit?
Win xp 32. Will get a Win 7 64b later
More Info: Computer Shop near.
Staple, Microage, Bureau Giva and some other that I don't know much about lol.. Yes yes, they are shop near me.
My current build:
Motherboard: Asus P5W64 WS Pro
CPU: DualCore Intel Core 2 Duo E6700, 2666 MHz (10 x 267)
Memory RAM: DIMM1: Corsair XMS2 CM2X1024-6400 X4(4gb)
Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTX (768 MB)
Disk Drive: WDC WD3200KS-00PFB0 ATA Device (298 GB, IDE)
Optical Drive: PLEXTOR DVDR PX-755A ATA Device
Power Supply: Unknown.
Monitor: Dell 3007WFP-hc
Computer is still alive and kicking but as I throw more stuff to it, it start to slow down. Obviously, it's understandable lol.
Right now I'll just got with one GPU and Storage drive and add more if needed later. What I'm wondering about right now is... is it worth buying 2 20" to put in portrait mode next to my 30" and use it as eyefinity/surround setting? I've seen it done, not sure if it worth it to.
As well, if I'm doing like for this computer I'm on, the computer will be running 24/7 so I guess that wouldn't be a problem. A plus would be a dust protection case since I have 2 cat so their fur tend to get around alot.
Well That's it. if there's anything else to add I'll edit or reply to post.
