My new gaming/college kumputar

[E30godz]

Jordan's post got my curious to see other's opinions on the computer i just built/ordered.

Rosewill ATX Case with 400W Power Supply and Side Window NEC 8X Black DVD+RW/-RW Drive, Model ND-2500A
SAMSUNG 80GB 7200RPM IDE Hard Drive
Crucial 184 Pin 512MB DDR PC-3200 8T (2 sticks)
ABIT "AV8" K8T800 Pro Chipset Motherboard for AMD Socket 939 CPU
AMD Socket 939 Athlon 64 3500+, 2.2 GHz, 512KB L2 Cache 64-bit Processor
MSI nVIDIA GeForce FX 5900XT Video Card, 128MB DDR, DVI/VIVO, 8X AGP
and a sound blaster Audigy video card.

the 2.4ghz amd processors are just stupid expensive, the one i got was 500 bucks alone...but apparently the new socket 939 is suppose to kick some ass.

i also plan on getting a flat screen CRT monitor



i pray this will play Doom 3 ; )

not bad, it will play DOOM 3. I've never been a big fan of AMD though. My friend build a 64bit 2Ghz machine and i'm not impressed with it at all.

Again another plug for my comp: http://www.r3vlimited.com/phpBB2/vie...light=computer

[James Crivellone]

not too bad, I would of gotten a faster HD, more ram, and ditched that last gen nvidia card for a ATI X800 or 9800XT

[bmwannabe]

is it cheaper to have one built, or just buy one from a normal company. there are some small computer shops around here that im tempted to look into.

[nando]

it's cheaper to build it yourself. it's not rocket science, it's like playing with legos.

ya legos with a few wires attached

My comp right now has an AMD, and I HATE IT.

I've fallen victim to AMD's little hiccup of locking up the system at random.

Josh if only this was your problem:

sounds like it's the inside that is causing you headaches

[Jhinck1414]

you are going to have to sell it for less, but anyways weston and i guess everyone else i have had an amd for a long time, that was a sweet computer, eta fro has it now but he knows it a sweet deal because amd is cheaper....but weston rob says 800ish range and rob may be interested.

Is your CPU cooled properly and sufficiently?
