• Help me build something fancier but not too pricey?
    14 replies, posted
So my computer has had some trouble in the past, and I cannot figure out what it is. I bought a new HDD but the problem came back this morning. Not gonna bother with it anymore since most of the parts are 2 years old and I figure Id just get a whole new setup. However, browsing for suitable parts doesnt seem to be my strong side and all the different opinions confuse me. So, Ill do the logical thing and ask for MORE opinions. Only requests I have is that itd be around 700 EU/900 USD. 4 cores and 4GB+ ram, as Ill be running W7 64bit (Home Premium; yes yes I know..). I usually only play WoW and your average Steam games, surf as well as watch a shitload of anime and TV shows. Im not all that picky about looks, so the box may be ugly as hell but provide sufficient cooling-opportunities. And itd be nice if I could have it running at night without waking the whole family up. :> Anyone up for the task of finding me a suitable set of components? If so, THANK YOU SO MUCH.
You're from sweden right? Mind if I use komplett.se as a webshop to make you a build?
[QUOTE=Erwin;25729566]You're from sweden right? Mind if I use komplett.se as a webshop to make you a build?[/QUOTE] Yeah, swedish. I would probably end up ordering from inet, but go ahead !
Do you need a new HDD too or are you using the new one you bought?
[QUOTE=Erwin;25729748]Do you need a new HDD too or are you using the new one you bought?[/QUOTE] Nah Ill be getting a new HDD. Leaving all the pain behind. (the mysterious malfunctions fried the last HDD, and I dont wanna take chances since this one's been affected too) 500GB would usually do, but I fear my recent downloading habits require 700GB-1TB.
I think you'll have to look for something like this: [img]http://img41.imageshack.us/img41/3033/build2h.jpg[/img] [url=http://www.komplett.se/k/ki.aspx?sku=499637]Motherboard[/url] [url=http://www.komplett.se/k/ki.aspx?sku=451982]CPU[/url] [url=http://www.komplett.se/k/ki.aspx?sku=603868]GPU[/url] [url=http://www.komplett.se/k/ki.aspx?sku=579816]case[/url] [url=http://www.komplett.se/k/ki.aspx?sku=491282]RAM[/url] [url=http://www.komplett.se/k/ki.aspx?sku=340676]PSU[/url] [url=http://www.komplett.se/k/ki.aspx?sku=496258]HDD[/url] [url=http://www.komplett.se/k/ki.aspx?sku=573264]DVD drive[/url] If you've got a bit more to spend, you may want to get a motherboard that's a bit better. Something in the lines of [url=http://www.komplett.se/k/ki.aspx?sku=593892]this[/url] or [url=http://www.komplett.se/k/ki.aspx?sku=590465]this[/url].
Hey, it looks pretty decent, but I do wonder why you decided on a mATX and the high PSU. I gave it a try myself. [IMG]http://i51.tinypic.com/k1f76x.jpg[/IMG] You may notice I blew up the budget a bit; I checked out the option to split the payment up and its looking quite bright so... might as well get some other necessities. ;) In addition, the old one started to smell... burnt. Either way. Some things Im thinking of; Case - Will it be large enough for the GPU? GPU - Should I go for that or is there something better in terms of stability and price? Motherboard - I dont wanna have to replace it for a loooong time. :> Might wanna upgrade other things along the road, but MB should be of quality already. PSU - Will it be enough to supply everything?
GPU should actually be an MSI GTX 460 Cyclone 1gb.
[QUOTE=MacTrekkie;25797401]GPU should actually be an MSI GTX 460 Cyclone 1gb.[/QUOTE] If its not on [url]http://www.inet.se/[/url], I wont order it. xd But thanks for the input
Wow, you're pretty thin on choices there.
[QUOTE=MacTrekkie;25798516]Wow, you're pretty thin on choices there.[/QUOTE] Quite. But Id rather get everything from one trusty place. Plus they send candy with it. Im mostly pondering on the motherboard and chassi right now... Would want the motherboard to serve me well for a considerate amount of time. And, well, I need the GPU to fit into the notsowobblyplastic-chassi.
Use this for free shipping: [url]https://www.inet.se/artikel/6101343/fraktfritt-sweclockers-vid-kop-over-500kr[/url] [editline]2nd November 2010[/editline] That's a good build.
Swe clockers. Its a great site, got some hardware help there. Ontopic now, from what ive heard the GTX 460 1gb is surposed to be great. I am planning on buying it. Imho, Komplett is the best place to buy your PC from but thats just me.
Use Inet generally, but Komplett for stuff that's not on Inet.
I prefer using Komplett over Inet.
