First Build! :D

[luke123]

Yeah as long as it is one of the well known brands, XFX, sapphire, MSI, HIS ect.

If you can, a HD5770 would be a good buy if you can find one in budget...

Okey dokey will do

 

[luke123]

I do get 45 days warranty on the item if i buy it from the bay, but i might save up for it, might be a while but i could use the other card i have for abit?

 

[luke123]

If i get a used card i could do a stress test on it, at first and then i could do another in 22 days time after it maybe???

And i could get all you wonderful people to guide me to which stress tester to download

 

[luke123]

If your not in a major rush then just wait, it's always best to buy new,but if funds don't allow then look for used.

Tbh im not in a rush, im more in a rush to get my cpu and power supply

 

[luke123]

[luke123]

Ok will do

 

[luke123]

why???

 

[luke123]

q9550 E0 if you can get one on the cheap

Tried and failed on the bay lol

So i think i will stick with the q6600

 

[luke123]

I would stick with a Q6600 mate,You'll be happy with that And should be able to grab one for about 50-60 quid

found one it's the slacr malay one as well

 

[luke123]

Erm...Will i be able to run flight sim X ???

Thankyou

 

[luke123]

These are the requirements i believe.

Windows XP SP2 / Windows Vista / Windows 7
Processor: 1.0 Ghz
RAM: Windows XP SP2 - 256MB, Windows Vista – 512MB
Hard Drive: 14GB
Video Card: 32MB DirectX 9 compatible

So a q6600 linked with any half decent graphics card should do the trick,Also what resolution do you plan to game at?

Oh good

Erm.....1280x1024 I think??? But soon i should get a 19 inch screen, the rez i have put down is for the 17 inch monitor i have.

 

[luke123]

You'll be fine playing games at that res mate.

Very good

 

[luke123]
