there are bunch of pc hardwares there in the links. which are u getting? oh the link redirected me to their feed thingy.
ok i give it a 7 out of 10.

faster154 · 04-07-2008, 08:08 PM

You have to copy and paste it, also remove the ananomyn part of it.

shmo70 · 04-07-2008, 08:23 PM

First off, what are you going to be using this pc for? Gaming and other demanding applications or are you just going to use it for simple stuff? Second, because, its not really a high end PC, i don't think you will need to show it off, so get a simpler case and dont buy the lighting. If you are going to be using this pc for gaming then get this ram instead-> http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820227139 its much better and only costs like $10 more after rebate. I don't know about the mobo, i never had an MSI, only ABIT and Asus, which were great mobo's. Lastly, for the video card, you can get an 8800GT, which i have and low, or the 9600GT which is a bit worse than the 8800GT but cheaper. Or if you can wait 1 more month, the 9800GT will come out and the 8800GT will be cheaper.

I also saw that you said its your first time. Make sure to read all the manuals first and understand how to put it together. Once you do that it will be very easy.

faster154 · 04-07-2008, 08:26 PM

Its gonna be alittle of everything.
Im not going to play High End games but will be playing Counter Strike on it, maybe some Halo.
What MotherBoard do you recommend around 50-70 dollars.

shmo70 · 04-07-2008, 08:49 PM

Right now, im using the abit ip35 PRO mobo and love it but its over your budget, $160. for that budget, i read that a few people were satisfied with the GIGABYTE GA-G31M-S2L. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813128078 . You can compare it with other mobo's and see which one you would like best. Also, you should go to this forum on www.pcper.com . They will help you out more with choosing a good mobo for $50-70 and with the rest of your pc.

O and since you won't be playing demanding games, then a 6800GT will be good for you. YOu can get one for cheap on ebay

faster154 · 04-07-2008, 08:53 PM

That Motherboard will fit the intel CPU that i have in my cart.

faster154 · 04-07-2008, 09:49 PM

Ok i added that Ram you sayd and i added this motherboard
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813127030

Slash · 04-10-2008, 10:55 PM

The mobo is a good one, I ran abit in my first one, great for overclocking. The case is good, I think its a little pricey, but that wouldnt stop me. Everything else is good, I recommend you add this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814130313 for a video card and this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16835118223 for a heatsink. That should put you at about 600. Which is what I spent on my second pc. The only thing I warn you with is, the mobo you got does NOT support SLI. Questions? I think your good to go.

faster154 · 04-10-2008, 10:57 PM

Whats SLI.
I'll order those later on when i get more money.

faster154 · 04-11-2008, 02:08 AM

Actually the price comes up to 711.
Does anyone know if there is a Free Shipping Code.

Slash · 04-11-2008, 10:06 AM

SLI is having two video cards that act as one

faster154 · 04-11-2008, 10:12 AM

O i only need 1.

Slash · 04-11-2008, 10:21 AM

That should work, you could try getting a cheaper case, or a slightly cheaper video card like a 7200 GTS or 6800. But with that mobo and heatsink you could overclock to somewhere in the range on 2.4 to 2.6 (Higher?). I overclocked a Core 2 Duo from 2.0 to 2.4 with the same heatsink. More questions?

faster154 · 04-11-2008, 10:23 AM

Whats a good program to use to overclock.

Slash · 04-11-2008, 12:07 PM

The mobo you have should be able to overclock. No program needed.

faster154 · 04-11-2008, 12:11 PM

o ok kool.
