thebridgerofdoom Posted May 27, 2009 Posted May 27, 2009 I'll skip the ssd for now. I just found out where i live, which is pretty um.... cut out from technology, the price is ridiculously high. I'll go with the raptor+caviar black combo for now. If prices for ssd drop, or i get my end yr bonus XD i'll upgrade to ssd. I am NOT a hardcore ocer. I just need it to be at 3.8 GHz and stable.... as stable as the possible. I want the 950 because it doesn't cost much. It allows me to drop back to 3.06ghz if i found out it is unstable, unlike the 920, which if i decided not to oc.... is at 2.66ghz if i am not wrong. this is what it looks im buying now: gtx 295 intel i7 950 EVGA SLI 3x X58 mobo cosairs 750W psu 24 inch LCD (need suggestion) need one that is good for gaming. Antec 902 or 1200 Raptor + caviar black 6gb 1600mhz RAM Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reagnon Posted May 27, 2009 Posted May 27, 2009 If you want a 24" monitor that 295 is overkill. I would go with a resoluion of at least 1920X1200 otherwise that 295 is just money thrown away. How much money do you want to spend on the monitor? If you have a big enough budget you should get a rely high res monitor like 2560X1600 those resolutions create a extreme game experience and your ystem is capable of such resolutions.

thebridgerofdoom Posted May 27, 2009 Posted May 27, 2009 a 24 inch should be 1920 x 1200. I dont like 30 inch, because then my other 22 inch moniter will be blocked. 400USD budget enough? or do i need more? I was originally looking at the dell 2408wfp, it was going to be my pick, but the price is really...... you get the point. If i can't find any good 24 inch, im getting the 2408wfp. Im also looking at the samsung 2493 HM or the phillips 240BW9CB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reagnon Posted May 27, 2009 Posted May 27, 2009 (edited) The dell looks like a decent screen. Dell is as far as i know high quality so it is a good choice. As wel as samsung and philips. If you pick one of thes you can almoast not go wrong. Your 295 will be a bit overkill @1920X1200 and your sli (the 295 is basicly 2 275's in sli) won't create optimal preformance. i would get something like a 285 as main card and a dedicated physix card (if you are planning to run physix) like a 250. It will be cheaper and you wil still get max preformance. Edited May 27, 2009 by Reagnon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebridgerofdoom Posted May 27, 2009 Posted May 27, 2009 I can't fit a damn 30 inch on my table. Its too big. I have another 22 inch for my pentium 4 so yeah. Max i can go is probably 26 - 28 inches. Anything more than that and it won't fit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reagnon Posted May 27, 2009 Posted May 27, 2009 (edited) Well from the moment you go past 24" prices skyrocket. If you want to spend only 400$ get a 24". Your gtx 295 won't be a good bang for buck. If this system needs to last a wihile (as i suppose) it's certainly futureproof. I would go for the 285 it can handle the res and if you ad a physx card as i said above it is also futureproof.

Reagnon Posted May 27, 2009 Posted May 27, 2009 Do you still use that p4? i suppose tat with your new rig it won't be used anymore. So if you make a home server of it you have lots of space Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebridgerofdoom Posted May 29, 2009 Posted May 29, 2009 Thanks guys. ALOT just need to find a suitable large screen lcd moniter below 28inch with 1920 x 1200.
