still need to decide on mouse and keyboard but most likely that could be picked up from pc world, or chosen when I see designs in pc world.
 
I dont think there will be any significant price drops that will relate to your spec.
Prices may go upor down as computer parts always seem to fluctuate, but i dont think theres any massive drops for a while.
 
Looks good, consider changing the Memory to something like the Crucial Ballistix 5300.

Also DDR2 + DDR3 motherboards are pointless if you ask me. Byt the time DDR3 becomes productive enough to buy you will most likely have 4GB of DDR2 Memory and are you really going to change 4Gigs of DDR2 Memory for 2 Gigs of DDR3 Memory?

cheers, it eh gigabyte a much better board?
and why is it so hard to find a 4gb lot of ram? as i would probally go up to 4gb if going down to the pc5300.
And i know this is very vain and a really nooby way to do it but I prefer the looks of the asus mobo :confused:

Click to expand...

What do you mean you cant find 4GB of Memory anywhere? You mean 2GB Memory modules?

Yeah anyway, i was just being picky about that motherboard :o , go for it.

ASUS boards are all ways laid out very well. Enjoy. :)
 
well I can find some 4gb/2gb but they seem to be either really expsensive or what appears to be low end ones.
I'll try and read up on pros and cons of the asus and the gigabyte.
Still need to speak to a freind though to see if he has any parts lyign around for me or can get them cheaper.
 
my it guys says I should bump in my power supply in preperation and has suggested these two:

720W Enermax Infinity EIN720AWT Modular Quad SLi Quad Core Xfire EPS12v CoolGuard 80%+ Eff'

650W Enermax Infiniti EIN650AWT Modular Quad CPU & SLi/CFire PSU 85% Eff' DXX EPS12V/ATX12V

what are they like and should they be enough for the G92?

and i'll probally keep trying my luck for graphic cards at auction for a cheapo one as he's also suggested a 7200, but he's told me uses the same harddirve and ram choice.
 
Remember the G92's although faster are gonna be using less power ... anyway the 520W Corsair all pretty much handle any single GPU system, if you want for piece of mind buy the 620W version which can handle most 2 x GPU systems.
 
"G92" GeForce 9800 GTX specs.

- 65nm process technology at TSMC.
- Over one billion transistors.
- Second Generation Unified Shader Architecture.
- Double precsion support (FP64).
- GPGPU native.
- Over one TeraFLOPS of shader processing power.
- MADD+ADD configuration for the shader untis (2+1 FLOPS=3 FLOPS per ALU)
- Fully Scalar design.
- 512-bit memory interface.
- 1024MB GDDR4 graphics memory.
- DirectX 10.1 support.
- OpenGL 3.0 Support.
- eDRAM die for "FREE 4xAA".
- built in Audio Chip.
- built in tesselation unit (in the graphics core"
- Improved AA and AF quality levels

Pros.

65nm process will allow for better yields and better power consumption. power consumption will be lower than that of a GeForce 8800 GTX.

GeForce 9800 GTX will be over two times faster than a GeForce 8800 Ultra in real world games and applcations.

Release date : November 2007. There will be TWO products at launch: The flagship GeForce 9800 GTX and the second fastest GeForce 9800 GTS.

price for the GeForce 9800 GTX will be 549-649 USD.

price for the GeForce 9800 GTS will be 399-449 USD.
 
gd gd.
i didnt want to spend more, what sort of setting will i expect with the 2600Xt? will probally just play games like battlefield, c&c...mh dont know what else really. I ahvtn pc gamed in a very long time!
 
cheers, btu sssh, I aint ordering from overclocker as the last time I priced checked the exact same thign its was like £30+ more, (but that was a different spec aswell, but the same components purchased from the two websites)...i'll see what the x1950 pro is on the other one....

edit: no graphics card for the same price, they have been beat on 1 item!
 
I know its stupid to buy a graphics card now and then upgrade, but I inda need/want a new computer for uni.
This one is so damn slow, and yes I have reinstalled windows to clear the crap off etc.
I might just end up puting an old graphics card in it and be contempt with watching dvds for a few month
