Build for iFaux

[doonbugie2]

Yeah. Okay. I'm not going to help in that case. $360 is a tiny budget. Shadaez... I kind of assumed he had a keyboard and mouse since he obviously has a computer. $450 is a shitty budget overall for a everything build.

[ifaux]

I'm using a laptop right now & the budget is $450 but $90 of it went to a monitor.

[doonbugie2]

Yeah, If all you want is TF2 at medium then I'll find you something for $360.

[editline]12th December 2010[/editline]

To be honest, A case is a case. That case is fine if you're on a budget. It probably looks decent in person aswell.

Totals $350.40 USD. Is that good enough? It will run TF2, other source games max. 4gb ram...
Isnt horrible either, its pretty fine...
I managed to fit in a 400 watt FSP.... Do I fucking win?
Its the best you can get on your budget.... I think. The 9600 GSO isnt bad either. I slimmed it down further by giving you 320gb instead of 1tb

And mine wins in every aspect other than RAM size and the PSU. I could always add another 2GB but I was keeping it low for ifaux and he can upgrade it anytime, and it would still be under 350.

[doonbugie2]

Yes, the above will run tf2 maxed.

[editline]12th December 2010[/editline]

HDD wins too

[ifaux]

Actually, that case isn't half bad..how much would I be saving? doonbugie2 vs. Shadaez FIGHT!

[Shadaez]

And last I checked, 27<30, the white case was cheaper.

[doonbugie2]

[QUOTE=ifaux;26664136]Actually, that case isn't half bad..how much would I be saving? doonbugie2 vs. Shadaez FIGHT![/QUOTE]
Well, His is cheaper. But mine is quality. But I can reduce costs by adding the gfx card from his build. [URL]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814131381[/URL]
And mine has more ram
and mine has a bigger, faster, more reliable HDD
His DVD burner is out of stock
I'd say go with mine. It has the better hdd, better psu, I think the graphics card is better aswell. It will run your games faster. Hmm, His is about 10 dollars cheaper. While mine, is faster, quality.

[Shadaez]

Oh man you're ridiculous. GPU and CPU are better, RAM is faster, motherboard is DDR3. I havn't updated it in a few days either, the price used to be 327 shipped. I'm willing to bet I could get the price below yours with as much RAM, but not quite the HDD space, not that it really matters. After all, he only needs 20 GB with your logic - just enough to run TF2.

[doonbugie2]

Hmm, I forgot I included a Am2 board and ddr2. Refining results.

[Shadaez]

A 9600 is not better than a 4830, ever.

$332 without shipping.

I still think mine is better. Its only $7 more and is better. The only thing lacking is the CPU, but the regor 250 is fine for what he wants and the price. To be honest I'm surprised how cheap mine is and still managed to get a FSP. Well, ifaux... you decide. It would cost more, but I found $35 worth of instant savings.

[Shadaez]

your price is 364.54. Your case is also terrible - sure it looks fine, but has one 80mm fan. Your HDD, PSU, and RAM are better and you're over budget.

Im 4 dollars over budget. Im sure its fine, I only have 1 80mm in my case. I still get decent temps.

If you don't understand, Rosewill isnt exactly a good PSU brand. I'm sure alot of others could agree with me that the FSP is better.
I do not take risks on the item powering the entire system, the item which decides weather it works or not. Rosewills will probably take the system with it if it craps out.
And yes, chances are he will be using a modern os, where 4gb of ram is important.

[Shadaez]

Okay, since 4 GB RAM is so important [it's not] I added it to my cart and am under your price at $363.14

[doonbugie2]

Mine is still better. Also, It is, gaming on Vista/Seven with 2gb of ram isnt really great... Even in XP.
