ok guys thanks for the input, im left with the following two options for build!
which would be better in terms of saving money etc and still meeting demand. occasional gamer, downloading, surfing etc. BUILD A This will be a future proof computer that will allow for future overlocking and crossfiring an extra 4870 CPU: E8400 = $187 CPU COOLER: ZALMAN 9700 = $78 MoBo: GB-X48-DS4 = $259 MEMORY: 4GB (2 x 2GB) Corsair 1066 Dominator = $209 HDD: 2 x WD 640 GB Hard Drive = $197 GPU: Saphire HD4870 = $317 PSU: Corsair 620W = $145 CASE: Lian Li PC-B25 = $302 MOUSE: Logitech G9 Gaming Laser Mouse = $97 KEYBOARD: Logitech G15 = $89 MONITOR: 24" BenQ V2400W = $476 OS: Vista Home Prem. 64Bit = $149 DVD: 2 x ASUS w/lightscribe = $78 SPEAKERS: Logitech Z5500 5.1 Sytem = $329 TOTAL: $2910 BUILD B This will be a system that will last for a couple of years at least. No Overclocking No crossfiring. CPU: E8500 = $209 MoBo: GB-EP45-DS3 = $139 MEMORY: 4GB (2 x 2GB) Kingston 800MHz Hyperx = $115 HDD: 2 x WD 640 GB Hard Drive = $197 GPU: Saphire HD4870x2 = $699 PSU: Corsair 620W = $145 CASE: Lian Li PC-B25 = $302 MOUSE: Logitech G9 Gaming Laser Mouse = $97 KEYBOARD: Logitech G15 = $89 MONITOR: 24" BenQ V2400W = $476 OS: Vista Home Prem. 64Bit = $149 DVD: 2 x ASUS w/lightscribe = $78 SPEAKERS: Logitech Z5500 5.1 Sytem = $329 TOTAL: $3022 BUILD C - Same as build B but with 4870 instead of 4870x2 This will be the cheapest option. No Overclocking No crossfiring. CPU: E8500 = $209 MoBo: GB-EP45-DS3 = $139 MEMORY: 4GB (2 x 2GB) Kingston 800MHz Hyperx = $115 HDD: 2 x WD 640 GB Hard Drive = $197 GPU: Saphire HD4870 = $317 PSU: Corsair 620W = $145 CASE: Lian Li PC-B25 = $302 MOUSE: Logitech G9 Gaming Laser Mouse = $97 KEYBOARD: Logitech G15 = $89 MONITOR: 24" BenQ V2400W = $476 OS: Vista Home Prem. 64Bit = $149 DVD: 2 x ASUS w/lightscribe = $78 SPEAKERS: Logitech Z5500 5.1 Sytem = $329 TOTAL: ~$2600 Please state reason. MUCH appreciated. Last edited by Wrexter; 14-08-2008 at 07:53 AM. |

Build A, just because the motherboard is better and ram for overclocking. Otherwise build B for graphics performance.
EDIT: Actually just got for Build B. Its your best option for gaming and just as good as the other 2 builds for multitasking. If the DS3 motherboard has xfire than you can just throw in another card later on, if your 4870x2 starts getting slow.. But right now it can max anything. (apart from crysis) which no card can max. lol

you can get that benq monitor for so much cheaper then that.
i have the LG 24" and thats a quality unit i would recommend that. http://www.mcgtech.com.au/index.php?...&stock_id=9926 also x48 chipset is not as good as it sounds. |

this is the one im going for http://www.trustedreviews.com/displa...LCD-monitor/p1 and i think im leaning towards goinf for build C as its cheapest and most effective, can save money and upgrade later i guess. |

ahh alright i was thinking its the cheaper benq unit... i havent seen that monitor but would still recommend the LG as its 3 year Dead pixel warranty and thats a replacement warranty.... also these days they all run cheap china panels so you buying the same unit for cheaper with better warranty..
up to you mate. i would personally go for build c... this will do everything you want for the next 12-18months... however i would change the choice of memory. |
