Picking up a case from a local store and already had a DVDRW Drive. Not bad for $750 bucks including shipping!

AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ Manchester 2000MHz HT Socket 939 Dual Core Processor

CORSAIR ValueSelect 1GB 184-Pin DDR SDRAM DDR 400 (PC 3200) Unbuffered System Memory Model VS1GB400C3 - Retail

ASRock 939SLI32-eSATA2 Socket 939 ULi M1697 ATX AMD Motherboard - Retail

HIS Hightech HX85XTQ256-3TOEN IceQ II Radeon X850XT 256MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16 Video Card - Retail

COOLMAX CP-500T EPS12V 500W Active PFC Power Supply - Retail

Seagate Barracuda 7200.9 ST3808110AS 80GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive - OEM
 
I'd throw in another $400 or not build it at all unless youre desperate

Not impressed by CPU, cheap ram, or the Asrock
 
Why the retarded topic? Bitches has 7 letters, not 8. I would have gone with the 7600gt in that video card price range.
 
itsmikey....way to thread crap. If you have nothing nice to say then say nothing at all. I think the system I am building is better than a lot of people's systems.
 
7600gt has 12 pipes vs X850XT's 16, X850 is also clocked higher....x850xt especially with that brands overclockability is a more powerful card than a 7600gt...
 
With a thread title exclaiming... "How Does It Look BI%$CHES!", don't expect to get a lot of good thread feedback....

-P

It's also an older technology with less features. The 7600gt would have been a better choice, but the x850XT isn't a bad choice. Unless you're overclocking, the value ram will do you quite well.

Personally, I would've saved a bit more and use the 750 for:

opteron 165
dfi lanparty expert
7600gs
2gb performance ram

50 bucks for case, 80 bucks for psu, 45 for the 80gb hard disk

Total: 925.

but hey, if you're on that tight a budget, not bad at all.

Where do you get it is clocked higher? I see 520/1.08 for the HIS x850xt vs 580/1.45 for the BFG 7600gt. 7600gt can also overlock, [H]OCP got 640/1.5 on stock cooling/voltage in their review.

the only thing the X850XT doesn't have is Pixel Shader 3.0

Why are you taking offense to our comments?

"Ordered My Rig....How Does It Look BI%$CHES!" tends to imply you want people's opinion on your rig. They gave it to you, and said they weren't all that impressed.

haha, "the only thing the X850XT doesn't have is Pixel Shader 3.0." Yeah.. that's pretty big, in my opinion.
 
I'll be getting a dx10 card when they come out....why should I be worried about Pixel Shader 3 right now?

Fair enough, but I think they're saying you could've bought a better card for the money.. the 7600 would've been a better buy.

EDIT: Also, you can edit your posts rather than double posting all the time :p

Keep the implied swearing out of thread titles, please.

in benchmarks which card would win? x850xt or 7600gt? 3dmark 06/05
Click to expand...

well, seeing as the x850xt doesn't have sm3.0 support.... the 7600gt would kill it in 06. I am not sure about 05.
 
i hate ordering new stuff....i get so many different opinions from so many different people...and wind up feeling bad about my choices

Well, there's nothing wrong with your components IMO... the 7600 is a better buy, but ultimately if you plan on upgrading the a dx10 card it doesn't really matter that much except for the lack of some eye candy in games for a few months.
 
i'm trying to figure out what the point of that mobo is... get an Epox 9npa+ ultra, not only does it have insane overclocking features, it is probably about as cheap as that asrock

also, the ram is fine, even if you do overclock, you'll just have to run a divider, 240x10 is a very safe overclock for that CPU, and allows you to run a '166' divider on your memory, keeping everything else wonderfully in spec...

also, as far as video cards, i think the x850xt is a great card for how much money they want for them these days, but you'll be upset with lack of HDR among other things, maybe some more research on the 7600s like others are recommending is in order



also of note, i didn't come to this thread until the title was changed, and i'm a happier person because of it :D remember that

Mabye you should've asked before you bought it? Yea its true that you could have bought slightly better stuff for the money, but you willl not notice too much of a difference. If you are happy with what you bought then you shouldn't care what others think. And if you ask for opinions..please don't get offended when people respond.
 
the point of the board? It seems to be a great stable feature rich board for the money. It also supports AM2 processors for the future....
 
what's the point of asking for feedback on a build if you already ordered the parts?!

LOL, exactly. This thread is pure opinion on what we think of your already purchased computer. And instead of getting advice on purchasing, you got our opinion, which, for the most part, was negative.

Your research seems very flawed. The x850xt is slower and has less features, and your board definently does not support AM2. AM2 boards are 940-pin, your board is 939.

just IMHO

That system will be out of date quick

I'm already waiting for mine to be out of date when Conroe comes out

Save your money until Conroe comes out, then get that or the AM2.

Unless you need a PC now, like I said

read on about the board....it has a "future cpu" slot for am2

I stand corrected, somewhat. You still have to buy an add-in board.

LOL, I just posted then went back to Gen Hardware and the entire page is his spam.
