    12 replies, posted
REWRITTEN:First version sucked ass. I would like to know of some decent parts or builds that would be good for a gaming computer. I have a total of $1500 NZD(around 1071 U.S. dollars) to spend. Names and links to parts/builds would be awesome. Will be going to a place called PB technolagies [url]http://www.pbtech.co.nz/[/url] but they may try and swindle me out of some of my money with things I dont need. And also what version of Windows 7 would be sutible? Would like this computer to last for a few years before needing upgrading(hopefully like 7-10)
Build it yourself.
[QUOTE=derlicious;22924345]Build it yourself.[/QUOTE] Thats just it, I'm don't know about half the parts of the computer. Thats why I asked here.
Do you know any good sites that ship to New Zealand?

no, that's pretty fucking terrible
How much is it? If you did get it you'd probably want a new PSU and GPU. Also the 8GB of RAM would be a waste. As I said before, do you know any places that sell computer components and ship to New Zealand?
I doubt any pc will last 7-10 years unless you play the same games for 6 years. Sorry :C.
Looks like he copy and pasted that from a prebuilt Yeh definatly We did tell you to build it yourself, it takes no experience And it's shiot
I came asking for quality part recommendations, and I make myself look like an ass. Mainly wanting to know what a good GFX card(leaning more towards NVidia ) would be, a good processor and another important parts I have forgotten to mention. @ FINLEY: no I do not.
Joust get a nice Intel core i5 750, ATI HD 5770, 4gb dd3 ram, 650wat PSU, 500gb-1tb hd, asus p7p55d(evo,deluxe what eva), a nice case. And spend the rest on a monitor, keyboard and on a mouse(not a living one)
Here's my suggestion: CPU: [url]http://www.pbtech.co.nz/index.php?item=CPUAMD9955[/Url] - Phenom II X4 955 GPU: [url]http://www.pbtech.co.nz/index.php?item=VGAXFX556[/url] - XFX 5850 MoBo: [url]http://www.pbtech.co.nz/index.php?item=MBDAS54974[/url] - M4A88TD-M EVO Memory: [url]http://www.pbtech.co.nz/index.php?item=MEMKHX3082[/url] 4Gb Hyper-X 1600 Cl8 PSU: [url]http://www.pbtech.co.nz/index.php?item=PSUCOR0550[/url] - Corsair 550W HDD: [url]http://www.pbtech.co.nz/index.php?item=HDDSAM1000[/url] - F3 1Tb Case: [url]http://www.pbtech.co.nz/index.php?item=CHACLM0902[/url] - CM690 II Advanced Grand Total: $ 1,748.25 If you want to save some money get the XFX 5770 instead. Im pretty sure that aint no perfect build but it will give you some direction. And more experienced builders please tell what should be changed (Im not really sure about the mobo or the ram).
