Desktop

Build me a custom desktop.

Budget?

Preferances? (AMD/Intel, AMD/nvidia, corsair etcetc) I'd go with AMD/Corsair due to price:trustworth:performance ratio.

Which OS you will run it on and do you already have it? I suspect Win7 64 bit

Need a fast HDD with small capacity or slower with high capacity? Slower with high capacity is my guess.

If I do guess answer to those right by just knowing you, I'd suggest this kind:

Motherboard: ASUS M5A78L LE
CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition
RAM: Corsair Value Select 4GB (2x2) DDR3 1333MHz DIMM
PSU: Corsair CX500W V2
HDD: Samsung Spinpoint F3 320Gb-1000Gb
DVD: Cheapest possible, but one with ability to burn DVDs.
Computercase: Antec Three Hundred (or likes, cheap and big)
GPU: Asus EAH6450 SILENT/DI/512MD3(LP) Radeon HD 6450 for small gaming purposes, such as VC. //// Asus EAH5670/DI/1GD5 Radeon HD5670 1GB DDR5 A little heavier yet still keeping the price low, as I would suspect you still play other games with XBOX rather than with PC.

Price: 421,40€ in finnish store exluding DVD drive (+30€) and computer case (~40€) (with better GPU and 1000 Gb HDD)
Total price would roughly be around 460€.

PC like this can and most likely will be used after few years too as low-end PC (now it'd be mid-end)

Have fun masterboy

I'll want a desktop capable of running most games, otherwise its pointless IMO. My Budget would be like £800, but obviously I would like to spend the least amount as possible while still meeting the top criteria. Keep in mind I'll also need to buy a monitor, so I'll need to put money aside for that.

Yeah I'll want to use Windows OS. About HDD: not sure.

I shall modify my set then, gimme like half an hour or so

Motherboard: Asus M4A77TD - 85€
CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition - 120€
RAM: Corsair XMS3 PC3-12800 4GB KIT - 30€
PSU: Corsair CX600W V2 - 70€
HDD: Samsung Spinpoint F3 1TB - 125€
GPU: Asus EAH6850 DC/2DIS/1GD5/V2 - 170€
DVD any, cheapest possible with ability to burn - 30€
Monitor: BenQ G2020HD 20" LCD - 120€

Price: 750€ (850 with Win7)

May not run newest game at max shadows, but medium is enough for those (talking from experience)

Of course, if you can buy Windows off cheap from a friend or sth would be better ^.^

Pricey..

Might have the money by next January

Of course you could cut something off, but then again it would loose the much needed trust and performance (I'd pay for trustworthy components more than PC itself)

Mother Board: Asus M5A88-M (AMD 880G MicroATX)
CPU: Intel Core i5
RAM: Kingston HyperX 4GB DDR3-1600 (2x2GB)
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580 1.5GB (Zotac, EVGA, Asus, MSI)
HDD: 1.0TB Western Digital Caviar Black (7200 RPM, SATA III)
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit SP1
CD/DVD ROM: Asus 12x Blu-Ray Player SATA (black)
Case: Antec Twelve Hundred V3

Klaus has a budget and GTX 580 tops it almost on it's own lol. Also Win7 Ultimate is worthless if you want to use win7 for light gaming purposes and/or some school work (Microsoft office).

Finished it as most of you know. Specs:

Case: Zalman Z9 Plus Midi Tower Case
Mother Board: ASUS P8Z77-V PRO Intel Z77 (Socket 1155)
CPU: 3rd Generation Intel® Core™ i5 3570K 3.40GHz Socket LGA1155
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2X4GB) DDR
PSU: Corsair CX600
HDD: Samsung F3 HD103SJ 1TB internal Hard Drive (SATAII 32MB Cache 7200RPM – OEM)
GPU: PowerColor AMD Radeon HD 6870 PCS+ 1024MB GDDR5
DVD: Sony AD-7280S-0B 24x Internal SATA DVD Multi Writer Black Bare

Certainly a good PC, even made me jelly becus of how fast Windows was installed

I could use some help. I have mentioned this problem before I'm sure, but I'm seriously stuck with it and it's frustrating...

MY START BUTTON IS NOT WORKING ON MY KEYBOARD!!!


ideas

what keyboard is this
