Building a computer

OK thanks, also, im probably wrong

but in your first post you did a checkout with Intel i5 but the link you just gave is AMD. Does this matter?

Bobybobp · 18 Apr 2012 at 07:51

And all the parts in the checkout are compatible with eachother?
So i could just buy that checkout.

Bobybobp · 18 Apr 2012 at 16:22

Does this checkout include heat-sync? Not sure of spelling.

Bobybobp · 18 Apr 2012 at 16:45

Oh that is OK i'm not going to be able to buy it for about another month and a bit so some things may change by then. I just wanted to get ready for when i did buy the kit so that i knew what i was doing.

Do you think that the parts will be cheaper if i buy them now or cheaper if i wait a while?

Bobybobp · 25 Apr 2012 at 17:45

ok thanks

I'm back again with more questions xD When looking around at different peoples specs they always say what type of core they have e.g. quad core or dual core. What does this mean and where does it specify about what type i would have if i were to buy this checkout.

Thanks again :L

Bobybobp · 27 Apr 2012 at 17:32

So is the quad core or dual core part in the processor?

Hello again

, i was just wondering if i would be able to use my TV as a monitor, it had full HD 1080p and was just wondering whether it would work and wouldn't have any sort of screen lag while using the HDMI cable?

Thanks, Sam

Well its model is a LG m2262dl, i looked on google but couldn't find out whether it would be ok.

Bobybobp · 2 May 2012 at 18:28

What do you mean by forcing it in can break things?

Ah yes, that is effectively a 1080p TN panel 21.5in monitor with a TV tuner and speakers slapped on.

It should really be as good as a similar spec 21.5in TN panel monitor, though perhaps with a bit more input lag.

So this TV would work OK? Or would it have a lot of lag?

Still ok to play high end games? Not sure if that will make a difference.

Bobybobp · 3 May 2012 at 15:29

How would i change the tv's mode? When i have it set up with a pc or on the tv's settings.

Bobybobp · 29 May 2012 at 21:42

OK guys i have now officially finished my exams. I am now ready to start buying the parts of the computer so i was just checking if there was anything new that has come out while i've been away?

thanks

ok cool but unfortunately i can't buy it tonight so ill come back to you when i have the money which should be in about 5 days

See you then.

Bobybobp · 30 May 2012 at 09:33

Will this build still be able to run high end games like crysis and shogun total war 2 on high settings?

Also does this build come with an after market fan or does one already come with it? Just wondering as buying an after market fan looks more difficult. XD
