1200 euro budget PC
« on: July 05, 2008, 08:44:39 AM »
well a little while back i told you guys i was going to buy a new pc

i got some money now, and i'm going to buy it at the end of july /beginning of august



well my budget is 1200 euro, and that is without screen and disc drive

this is the site where i'll be buying my stuff from
http://www.azerty.nl/



Mobo:
the Asus P5e (ddr2) or the Asus P5e3 (ddr3)
http://www.azerty.nl/producten/product_detail/89/67626/p5e3-premium-wifi-ap-n.html

i will be using the GEIL 4x1 gig ram for the ddr2
or a ddr3 (only found 1 gigs :S and they were EXPENSIVE)


as for the video card i was hoping to get a cheaper 9800gtx (once the nvidia 280's are out the 9800's will be cheaper)


Power supply:
http://www.azerty.nl/producten/product_detail/52/65996/zm850-hp.html


case:
i was hoping to get a Nzxt Apollo black, but they got sold out. then i went for the silver one,.. but that one is gone now too
so anyone got an idea for a good case?

Matt...
1,200.00 EUR
   
=
   
1,883.52 USD

Also DD it wasn't to you. He's obviously frustrated at people :censored:ing about how someone's buying expensive computers when they can get cheap ones. And it PISSES ME OFF TO. I hate it when people complain that someone ELSE is buying something expensive when they can't like that.

For the video card go with the 4850, it's 9800 performance for a cheaper price. Good luck on your build bro.

Funny how people chime in without anything productive to say tho, very helpful of em eh? Almost like they try to get a rise out of people.. Very immature.. You guys need keep things to yourself, we don't want it getting out of hand.. No more blashing/slamming please. For the good of the board.

congrats dutch.

if i were you i would look at a 8800 gts or a 8800 gtx. the 9800's are good cards and they are comparable to the 8800's but there bus speeds are slower than the 8800's.

as for a case take a look at lian li they have some amazing cases.

1,200.00 EUR=949.784 GBP right on xe.com.

Matt just shut it. And DD, the 280s have been out for like 2 weeks now, and I haven't seen any noticeable price drops in the 9800s, either of them. Like tec said, go for the 8800 for your budget. Black and green neon sounds like it's gonna be pretty sick looking, I'd love to see this. Wait, what processor are you getting? I'd go for the C2Q Q6600, it overclocks great on the P5e boards I heard.

Just an update for you, pricecuts Nvidia announced as of last night.
"The AIB (board partner) prices will be as follows (all prices are USD):

9800 GTX: $165 ($199)

GTX 260: $222 ($329)

GTX 280: $392 ($499)

(Prices in parentheses are target selling prices.)"

Not bad at all.
