Brazilian Guy Posted December 17, 2003 Posted December 17, 2003 Hello guys, first of all i'd like to introduce myself. I'm Carlos (so forgive my english mistakes), i'm from Brazil and i usually visit this forum but only registered to post on it today. I'd like to get some help on choosing my new pc configuration. I just bougth a AMD BARTON 2500+, series AQXEA 0331 XPMW. Which MOBO, RAM, and FONT best fits this processor to overclock it? I'm thinking about buying an ASUS A7N8X-DELUXE V2.0 FSB400 and Dual Channel Hyper X Memory, 2x256MB. What do you think about it? Plz, post ur suggestions and don't forget about a good font to support all this + 2HD's, CDRW Drive, DVDRW Drive and a nice VGA. Thanks for your help guys and it's nice to meet you.

Brazilian Guy Posted December 17, 2003 Posted December 17, 2003 are you going to be overclocking? and what kind of video card are you getting? but thats a nice board Yes, i'm going to overclock it. I'd like to run the Barton 2500+ at 3200+. I'm going to need a good cooler too. ATI Radeon 9600XT or 9800PRO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brazilian Guy Posted December 17, 2003 Posted December 17, 2003 humm id got with the 9800 pro if you game if not the 9600xt is a really nice card also get a good slk hsf and ya with that stepping yeah you can oc to 3200 easy im at 2.4ghz with mine My main doubts are: Buy an ASUS A7N8X-DELUXE V.2.0 400FSB or ABIT AF7-S V.2.0? Hyper-X or Geil memory? Is a zalman 7000A-CU good enough for the job? I don't want too much noise on my bedroom. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravix Posted December 17, 2003 Posted December 17, 2003 Yeah, I'd say the zalman is good enough. That particular heatsink is VERY quiet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
InvaderTrax Posted December 17, 2003 Posted December 17, 2003 Can you give us a ball park estimate of your budget? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brazilian Guy Posted December 17, 2003 Posted December 17, 2003 (edited) Can you give us a ball park estimate of your budget? My budget is kinda different from yours because i'm in Brazil and computer things here are really expensive, but i can get those products with a price 25% higher than urs in US Dollars. (That's really good if compared to our market prices). We need R$3,00 to buy $1,00. I'm planning to spend US$900,00.

justinal Posted December 17, 2003 Posted December 17, 2003 is that suppose to be 1000 dollars us? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brazilian Guy Posted December 17, 2003 Posted December 17, 2003 (edited) is that suppose to be 1000 dollars us? Yes. Something around $900,00 - $1.000,00 US. But dont forget to raise ur market prices by 25%, because that's the price of goods here. I already bought a Barton 2500+ 0331. It cost me $110,00.
