New PC!

[The_wand_mirror]

Finally, my dad said that when i do good at school i get a new custom build pc.

Actually these things will be replacing the parts in my old case.

Here they are;

Motherboard: Asus 775 P5Q S/R/GBL/F/ATX
Processor: 775 Intel Core2Duo E8400 3.0/BOX
Memory: 4096MB DDRII/800 takeMS CL5 KIT
Videocard: HIS ATI HD 4850 512
Feed: PSU Raptoxx SPS-RT600ABP 600W ATX
DVDRW: Samsung SH-S223Q 22x blk LS zw Sat
HDD: 640GB Samsung HD642JJ 16/S

660 Euro bruto: 735 Euro totaal.

I have been to that this quite pwns... >.>

So that comes to about $1075 USD. If you built it yourself after buying the parts, it would be a bit cheaper (at least in the USA), but for a custom configuration from a computer store it's a decently good deal.

The motherboard/processor/DVD±RW/HDD you listed above are all good choices. I haven't used HIS video cards before so I cannot comment on them. The power supply Raptoxx is an off-brand I have not even seen before. You might consider choosing a well-known, stable power supply manufacturer such as: Corsair, PC Power & Cooling, Antec (earthwatts), Thermaltake Toughpower, and Silverstone, to name a few.

Sounds good. Hope the computer serves you well.

I didn't make that PC you should know, a guy on my father's work recommended these components. And since he seems like a gamer-guy to me im just going to let him do his job lol.

And i have to get good marks on school to earn that PC so... Blegh >.<

I wouldn't recommend Antec, my PSU failed [it was a Truepower Quattro] due to bad capacitors. Power and Cooling and Seasonic are good brands. I know nothing of Raptoxx.

As for the rest of your PC, looks good. Better than mine anyways, and mine cost more [but I bought it a year or so ago, and I had to get a case, monitor and such new as my old ones were inadequate.

Post pics/benchmarks maybe when you get it.

That's because many of the Truepower Antecs were an older model that had inferior parts and not as good QC. I personally had a number of them fail and need replacement. The newer Antec Earthwatts supplies (which I specifically mentioned by name in the post above) are actually manufactured by Seasonic and are of acceptable quality.

Sounds pretty good. The 3 GHZ Core 2 Duo caught my eye. 4 GB of RAM is always nice. As with Dan, I can't give any opinions on HIS cards. Never used em. What monitor you running it through?

What monitor you running it through?

I don't have it yet atm but i now use a pretty normal LCD screen i believe... NEC LCD1701

But i'm planning to try and get a wide-screen with it. Something like this or so

Woops
I didn't know that Earthwatts PSUs are made by Seasonic instead of Antec.
I revise my previous message to "Stay clear of Antec Truepower"

Same sort of screen as me, I went for a very similar samsung model.

Where is the price on that page anyway? I see no price! =/

Are you buying the parts online? And I'm guessing by your not quite perfect English that you aren't from the US. NewEgg is probably the top online computer distributor, but only sells to the States. Although Canada will get it soon! Hurray!

 

[DrazharLn]

It's out of stock on the amazon page. So there's no price listed.

I know a few good sites for the UK but I don't know of any european sites
