Throwing together another system

Well when i have the money hopfully soon. I plan on building a new system i would like sugestions from you guys. Amd or intel doesnt matter,. So shoot

You could say a price rang what should we assemble..it is these a midstream system ...high-end system or your dream machine ?

So a price range approximately?

I say 1000 to 1400

is that a full system with mice keyboard, screen, speakers, etc? cz if its just the tower, you could probably go quad core. unless thats another currency from USD

Its usd and i have mouse keybored speakers etc i have a few systems lol.

I just have not built one from new parts in like four years so this is my wish list so to speak. The most current system i have is my Abit it7 max
p4 1.8@2.4
Radeon 9550 128
1 gb samsung pc 2700 ram
460watt quitepower psu


Needless to say its time for an upgrade

if youre going to be throwing away youre latest system, i suggest you go pay a visit to the ATI flashing thread in teh video card section. Try flashing that radeon 9550 to radeon 9700 just for kicks. (and i say ready to trash because you CAN mess up your vcard)

i'd suggest you go for a core 2 quad core e6600, 2gb or 4gb of ram (4gb might actually register as 3.25gb - 3gb 32bit OS memory barrier) and atleast 600-700 watt psu. Im not really sure about motherboards though as i've lost track of intel's offerings. As for video card, i;d suggest a 8800 640mb gts.

For example, you can buy this in a combo:
8800 640mb gts with 2x2gb ocz 800mhz ddr2 $561.98

all thats left is the processor
core2 quad 6600 $319.99
motherboard (someone suggest one)
power supply ocz 700w gamexstream $139.99
And case. Oh yeah, not to mention sound card and hard drives...

lets see.. without the motherboard, sound card case and hard drives that brings the total up to 1022$ (before taxes) Hmmm. Well. i guess that leaves 378$ for taxes and those three components. unless you can find better deals or want dual core instead of quad or a lesser vcard.

hmmm, rather interesting sound card. First time i see one for pci-e x1 or x4. clabs x-fi xtreme audio varpak $50

you could get a core 2 e6550 instead of the quad for 183$ core 2 e6550

and a nice 500gb hard drive seagate 500gb 130$

And a random motherboard that looks good to me Gigabyte 130$

as for a case... Weellllll take your pick Cases

ouh.. ouch.. 1332$ before taxes and cases with q core and 1195$ with the core2. Well. i guess there goes the quad.

Here's my system (All from newegg)

CoolerMaster Centurion5 ATX Mid-Tower Case(Best case ever, only $45-50)
Rosewill 600W SLI Ready Power Supply
Asus Crosshair 590 SLI Mobo
AMD Athlon 64 X2 5600+ 2.8ghz Processor
Kingston HyperX 2GB(2x1GB) DDR2 800mhz RAM
Nvidia GeForce 8800 GTS 640MB Video Card
Phillips 20x SATA DVD Drive
Western Digital SATA 320GB 7,200RPM Hard Drive
EDIMAX Wireless Ethernet PCI Card
Extra Goodies:
Thermaltake 5.25" Bay to 3.25" Bay converter with 120mm LED fan
The motherboard comes with a separate HD 8 channel sound card and Array Microphone

All of this and Windows XP Home for about $1400 without a Monitor.
$400 of this came from the 8800GTS video card, so if you don't spend $400 on a video card then the system could be cheaper. Or more expensive if you want 2 video cards for SLI (I haven't done it yet).

Pretty good eh?
