Help upgrading computer

[.soder]

I just heard some may be faulty and that's why they left it out but I'm most likely going to do that.

it may not work and boost you or it may hurt performance it is a gamble

[.soder]

I'll stick with the tri-core and if I really need the extra core. I may just risk it.

[QUOTE=PrismatexV0;16048495]You realize the GTS 250 is essentially a 9800GTX+, right?[/QUOTE]

Yes, I know, other than the fact that its smaller and uses less power. Im just not feeling like typing 9800GTX+ every time I suggest a card.

[McSanchez]

Try typing 4850 instead. It's $20 less on newegg.

But I don't know anything about the 4850.

Oh wait, Prismatex recommends it, must make it good.

[Prismatex]

No, it just comes very very close to the 9800GTX+ and costs less.
The 4870, which beats the 9800GTX+, costs $127 before shipping.

[Darrylop]

Uh huh. 2 dollars is gonna disrupt the whole economic turmoil right now.

And XFX is a reliable company. Imagine how cheap an XFX 4870 is :rolleyes:

[Zorlok]

I would never take a 9800GTX/+ over a 4870 (whether it's a 512 or 1GB model).

Could my optical drive work with my new build? I never had any problems with it and it works very fast so I'm hoping I can just take it out of my old computer and put it into my new.

[Yumyumbubbleg]

Yea.

[JohnEdwards]

[.soder]

missed the CPU..

It's a AMD Phenom II X3 720

Thanks. Looking forward to receiving Sunday or Monday :D

[.soder]

Just making sure. I'm pretty sure it's fine but my Monitor is fine connecting to my GPU?

HP f2105
SAPPHIRE 1GB HD4870

I believe it said the cord on the monitor is DVI but I saw under "display" on this website saying DVI-I.

[.soder]

bump :D

Need to make sure I don't have to buy a converter.

[n00bmuffin]
