Ql1max Posted August 13, 2009 Posted August 13, 2009 (edited) So, hello again My friend asked me to build him a computer for 700 Edited August 13, 2009 by Ql1max Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingdingeling Posted August 13, 2009 Posted August 13, 2009 Before I vote, where are you from if you calculate in Euros? Cause Some of those prices seem very high for Germany at least (where I'm from)! If he is mainly gaming, a quad core will really be quite useless, so I'd get a higher clock dual core. Phenom II X2 550 Black Edition Either DFI or Gigabyte Motherboard 4GB of some RAM HD4890 TX750W That's what I would get. As you can see, I basically got that exact system (see signature), only that my motherboard is mATX. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingdingeling Posted August 13, 2009 Posted August 13, 2009 If you insist on getting a Quad, get the following: Phenom II X4 940 Black Edition Gigabyte motherboard (do you have a link to the website you're ordering from?) 4GB RAM HD4890 Should be a very good build!

DLS2008 Posted August 13, 2009 Posted August 13, 2009 kingdingeling is on the right path. While the Phenom II 955 has a higher base clock, the Phenom II 940 can usually clock as good or better because it has the unlocked multiplier. Also, the RAM he suggested is good, I run the OCZ Reaper HPC that he recommended and love it. It's also cheaper than Corsair which tends to overcharge for its RAM for some reason. The PSU is solid, but also look at PC Power and Cooling PSUs. Those are pretty good ones, look for the cheapest price between the two brands.

kingdingeling Posted August 13, 2009 Posted August 13, 2009 That case should be fine, as long as it takes ATX motherboards. The only thing I see there is does your friend like it as well? Cause it's his rig in the end, he's gotta like the case! I'd ask him about that @DLS2008, on that website they didn't have PC Power & Cooling PSUs. Also, PCP&C tends to be ridiculously expensive over here in Germany, probably even worse in Slovenia. Corsair is great, I run one myself. 650W is more than enough for that rig, I run a 750W, but that's because I got it cheaper than a 550W Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
