Thread: About that time to rebuild..

I currently have:

Motherboard - ASUS M2N-SLI Deluxe AM2 NVIDIA nForce 570 SLI MCP ATX AMD Motherboard

CPU - AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ Windsor 3.0GHz Socket AM2 125W Dual-Core Processor

Graphics - EVGA 8800GT 512MB

RAM - 4 x 1GB Crucial Ballistix Tracer DDR2 800

Power Supply - Apevia 600W (fucking old, and time for a new one)



Enlighten me gentlemen. Please...please....please.. do not turn this into a nvidia VS. ati thread... or I will be extremely pissed and I will take necessary action. I'm trying to get shit done here.

I'd say go full new. DDR2 is old. PSU is old(I'd say use it but whatever), everything is old. This PC isn't junk but it's not high end anymore.

New build time.

Budget?

need budget to give you a decent quote.

basics..

x58 MB
i7 processor
6GB triple channel memory
750-800W Power supply
SSD drive if you can work it otherwise a raptor 10k rpm drive
GTX260 as a minimum

Or (unless you want to buy the 1k$ super mega nothing needs it extreme I7 ) go with a little more horsepower in an i5 670. Dual core multithreaded.

Money really isn't an issue. I just don't want to spend a shit load. I'm looking to spend no more than $700. Eh, I dunno... just depends. Because I have to pay this shit back with my paychecks.

Depends how saucey I'm feeling at the moment.

Musts:

1. Quad-Core

2. New Mobo and RAM

3. Graphics

4. Power supply

I mean, I can work with my case... It's a Thermaltake, and got it for $20 after mail-in rebate. It's just old and a lot of the fans need to be replaced. Did I mention it's huge, heavy, and it has a LOT of fucking wires. Right now it looks like a rats nest.

About in your price range. You might ( maybe......) able to squeak by with the current PS, but they're not too bad right now. Maybe an additional 100?
The only thing that sucks is most, if not all newer motherboards only have support for SATA drives. Which means you hopefully have SATA CDDVD Drives?

(Prices from Amazon RIGHT NOW.)

Eh, I was looking at the intel CPU's... they're just too damn expensive compared to the AMD Quads..

I dunno, lemme see if I can whip up anything good in the combo deals and what not.
