X-mas Present To Myself

[Kamikaze_Badger]

This is what I'll be buying for myself this Christmas season. I may upgrade to an NF4 Ultra-Infinity by DFI if I can afford it.

 

ASRock K8NF4G Micro-ATX

 

Sapphire X800GTO (256 megs GDDR3)

 

AMD Sempron 64 2600+

 

And to power it all:

 

Fortron Source 450w

 

 

If I use my writing skills well, I may be able to use a gig of RAM from my brother's system. It'll be used mainly for gaming with CS:S and UT2k4.

ooh god, that setup made my spine shiver, at least get a somewhat quality psu, like a coolermaster 350 at that and go 939

 

 

 

whats your budget target

[Kamikaze_Badger]

Bigr, you know what?

 

The noticeable gaming difference between a Sempron 64 and Venice is UN-NOTICEABLE TO THE HUMAN EYE AT EQUIVALENT CLOCK SPEEDS!

 

And why buy the best Bang:Buck ratio PSU out there? Well, that should be self-explanatory.

 

I may go with the Connect 3D X800GTO, even though the newer batches don't seem to unlock. Hitting 600+ on core is very attracting. I'll throw an ATI Silencer on that baby and have some fun .

Sorry to tell you, but that PSU is both weak and it isn't quality.

Especially when 350w will hardly run that card, which will hog around 175 watts at full load.

Oh boy.

 

Welcome back.

[Kamikaze_Badger]

And my budget target? ~$350, which is why I'm getting the best Bang:Buck parts I can.

[CoolMaster]

some of the antec truepower 450 watts are like 50 I think

i only say this cause I dont know anything about fortron psu's

[Kash]

Oh boy.

 

Welcome back.

FYI bigr, Fortron makes some VERY good quality PSUs, unlike that POS Coolermaster you recommended. At least have the common sense to recommend an Antec or a OCZ PSU, which are the equivalent of, if not better, than that Fortron

good choice with the 2600+, as you can see in my sig i have one and it runs great. good luck with your rig!!!

don't even give me a reason to start on you.

 

not everyone's parents give them $$$ and parts for thier rigs

 

 

also why would you suggest a pile of crap PSU like that? why not just go all out and suggest powmax?

lol, for a second there I thought bigr was yelling at himself...then I looked again and noticed that it was bigred, your avatar isn't showing up sometimes for me for some wierd reason.
