Metalingus Posted December 9, 2008 Posted December 9, 2008 (edited) Hey guys im looking to build a computer, max I want to spend is 800. It will be used mostly for home/office work, gaming isn't essential at all, although I don't want integrated graphics. No vista also, just xp. No need for any input devices or the monitor, just the box. If you guys could list the prices/links for the parts (memory, hd, vcard, mobo, psu etc) that would be great =] Much help appreciated.

xxdoomwalkerxx Posted December 9, 2008 Posted December 9, 2008 always go for the good graphics card and an OK case when ur on a budge. i'd say a good psu and a great gpu. maybe a quad core? u can bargan upon the rest of the peices. 4gb of ram at 1066 only costs like 70 on newegg. NZXT has good cases for cheap... $30. never cheap out on motherboard if you are looking for overclock. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhenKittensATK Posted December 9, 2008 Posted December 9, 2008 (edited) I'll selling my current rig as well as parting it out if your interested. http://forums.overclockersclub.com/index.p...157950&st=0 Nothing is wrong with it, other than I want to encode HD movies faster. Gaming is fine, browsing net is fine. Edited December 9, 2008 by Krazyxazn Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krieg1337 Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 I don't like Intel, not easy to overclock. What? The E72/300 usually go to 4ghz. And mostly even noobs can do that. If you use the right motherboard, its very easy IMO. P45+E72/300 is very good combination for overclocking Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

P45+E72/300 is very good combination for overclocking agreed, as of now, intel overclocks are beating the crap outta AMD chips.

Crow47 Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 (edited) I know from experience that the e7200 is a beast at overclocking, and the e7300 is just as good. I like that intel build, but instead I'd spend a little more on the motherboard (since he can spend up to 800) and get the Gigabyte EP45-UD3R. It's based on the P45 chipset and has a lot of nice features. I cannot recommend this board enough. Very nice oc'er, plus it stays really cool in the case. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...Tpk=ep45%20ud3r Edited December 11, 2008 by Crow47 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
