Serious Reconsideration

[Hyburnate]

I changed it for a A50, surely it should be ok?

 

[olivier renault]

here's £1100 all inclusive (a lil over with bluray). You can get a lesser screen as well, or a better all-purpose screen, like a IPS. 120Hz is nice for gaming, apart from 3D support (gimmick, and this one dont support ATI 3D iirc).

A50 is good. If you gonna pick up a 1GB graphics card, you'll be better off with a 560ti imo. Also you don't need a uber power supply, 750 will do 6950 crossfire. 850W gives room for a pair of more power hungry graphics cards.

 

[Hyburnate]

Would a 750W PSU be enough to power that?

 

[Hyburnate]

If it look like I will be getting more money closer to the time I will go for the 2GB model.

Can't pursuade you to change the case to either:
Silverstone Raven 2 RV02B
Silverstone Raven 3 RV03B
Save a few more ££ to go towards a better graphics card.

Nope the 650D is such a smart case, and I just love how it looks and how it works , surely I should be able to play GTA IV? I bought it ages ago and was unable to run it decently

 

[R088ieS86]

Yup it will play GTA IV, should be able to get a decent frame rate out of it on highish settings.

Hyburnate plz tell me this thread is just some kind of big joke that im failing to see???

hmmm... My BS detector remains silent. maybe it needs a new calibration.

 

[Spydell]

My Troll detector remains silent... maybe it needs a new calibration.

Im sorry if your feeling alittle butt hurt....

but from what this fella spec'd when he first come in to his last spec is an absolute joke...

No one has even picked up on the fundamentals at all, this is supposed to be a gaming rig right?

well i don't even want to to try and spend the next 50 posts trying to correct this mess.

So im just going to pretend that this is the start of the thread....

Q1] Is this necessary?

Wireless Card - TP-Link 150Mbps Wireless PCI Express Adapter

the reason i ask is because you really don't want to be gaming on a wireless card no matter what card it is.

Q2] Do you watch enough blu-ray films on your computer to make use of this?

Forgive me if ive missed something vitally important earlier in the thread that explains this.

 

[olivier renault]

Im sorry if your feeling alittle butt hurt....

Seriously...

but from what this fella spec'd when he first come in to his last spec is an absolute joke...

And you are being a little dramatic, don't you think? His last spec can be improved, but change your attitude.

Not everyone games online. but might want to check facebook occasionally.

Your 100% correct and i agree, but still feel the question needs asking just incase the op plans on doing any multiplayer gamimg with this in mind.

 

[Spydell]

Dramatic, this guy plans on spending over £1000 (hardly pocket change) of his money and comes here looking for help and so far has just backtracked on what he was originally quoted instead of improving on his build.

All i know is if it was my £1000 and this was me a little drama would be called for.
I guess your somewhat right though as its not me and my money and all that matters here is that the op is happy with whatever spec he has.

P.s. Attitude adjusted

 

[Hyburnate]

I'm sitting right next to my modem and plugged in with Ethernet at the moment, this isn't only going to be for gaming, its going to be my everything xD
The reason there is a Wireless card in there is because I want to try squeeze as much as I can into my first build.

 

[Bratblaster]

It's the disk, with its license tied to the motherboard. When you change the motherboard, you get another copy of win 7

Does this apply to all versions of Win 7? I have a retail version that I'm hoping to use in a big upgrade (new MB, CPU, GPU, up to 64 bit...). Will I have to but another copy?

 

[Tomcat825]

Only want a 22" not 3D, will use it for Gaming(small amount) and general use

If you're only gaming a small amount, is this not a bit overkill?

On another note, definitely drop the H50 and just grab a cheaper air cooler... £25-30 one will do perfectly well.

Edit:

Q1] Is this necessary?

I thought this, but a friend of mine used to game on wireless only and never DC'd and ran at 50 ms on WoW... there's nothing wrong with it if the WAP or router is near enough the computer (albeit his was in another room and not THAT close, but closer = better).

No you'll be fine, the retail license is transferable
