Hi. My friend did set up a computer for me and this is what he came up with.
Basically its the same system he bought only with a better graphics card and different memory cards.
Ive done some research here on the forums and it seems like a good setup but there could always be something hes missed.
He easily overclocked his cpu to 3.2mghz and is very happy with it, also the graphics card seems great.
I dont really know about the memory card though, How big role does the cas play? the ones ive chosen has 5-5-5-18. But i can get:
2x "OCZ 2GB (2 x 1GB) PC2-6400 Dual Channel Platinum Revision"
at roughly the same price though they run at 4-4-4-15. (im presuming lower numbers are better).
Also the "Team Xtreem 2GB (2 x 1GB) DDR2 PC2-6400C3 800MHz Dual Channel Kit (TXDD2048M800HC3DC)"
costs as much as my 4gb only the numbers look way better (3-3-3-8). is it better to have lower cas than more memory?
The computer is primarily going to be used for demanding 3D apps such as Zbrush and Mudbox but i also want to be able to play latest games at very high settings ... perhaps the whole setup is wrong for its purpose? Oh and also noticed most people go with a vista version for their setup, i guess its needed to get the most of 64bit power .. or?.
If you do assemble something dont mind about the mouse and keyboard being included in the price and also dont mind going aboit over the top if its a significant performance increase.
Cheers.
