GFX car and memory.

[Dougx]

Please suggest a graphics card (nvidia) and memory sticks for my pc for around 120-150 pounds.

i have this:

AMD Phenom II X3 Tri Core 720 Black Edition 2.80GHz (Socket AM3)

Gigabyte GA-MA790X-UD3P AMD 790X (Socket AM3/AM2+) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard

mostly for gaming.

I wouldn't get an nvidia card tbh. Ati you get more for your money. You can either get the ati 4890 that is a cracking dx10 card. Very fast! Or... ati 5770, dx11 and a little bit slower than the 4890 but when in crossfire, scale very well, past the 5870 in benchmarks.

 

[Dougx]

Ok so you would suggest the 4890?
I hear a lot that ati is not as good and reliable as nvidia? i heard wrong i guess?
And is that gfx board compatible?
Also what memory should i purchase?

remember total for gfx card and memory must b around 150.

 

[Dougx]

please link me to the items you suggest to me so i can buy them

 

[BigRazer93]

Well I didn't see the memory part mate. You couldn't get the memory and the gfx card with only £150 mate. However, this memory is up for the job http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-177-OC&groupid=701&catid=8&subcat=1516

 

[Dougx]

ok make it 200 pound for both. doable? and can u link me the recommended gfx card please? why is ati better?

remembering i have amd cpu if it matters xD

AMD Phenom II X3 Tri Core 720 Black Edition 2.80GHz (Socket AM3)

Gigabyte GA-MA790X-UD3P AMD 790X (Socket AM3/AM2+) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard

(sry to b a pain hehe, just saw my mobo support pci 2.0 and that gpu is 2.1? and my mobo supports ddr2 and those rams r ddr3? would it all work?)

thats my mobo and cpu xD

 

[Dougx]

a few edits b4 i order

That ram wont fit, you need ddr2. The graphics card is fine/will fit.

 

[Dougx]

Thank you, saved me... which would u suggest? these maybe?

[Dougx]

or there an issue with timings or something?

 

[stulid]

That will fit, my only problem with it is the price! Seems £20 too much for 4gigs of ddr2.

 

[stulid]

There is some corsair for £70

 

[Dougx]

any suggestions maybe? u sure the ddr3 one from earlier wouldnt work? my mobo can take 1333 i think, or i read something about that?

 

[Calm]

Graphics card will be fine, check you have the required wattage and connectors on your power supply, 450w is recommended and a 6pin connector required.

The memory won't work, as he says it's DDR3!

Here's the £70 Corsair, which should work: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-192-CS&groupid=701&catid=8&subcat=817

 

[Dougx]
