I'm allowing a $900 budget to build myself a computer since my tax return this year is very very nice. Thing is, I'm so out of touch. What can I possibly get for that amount of money? I can tell you what I would like and maybe someone can help me from there.Nvidia GPU (SLi capable)Pentium Quad Core (Is quad pentium the best, or AMD?)DDR3 capable motherboard, also capable of SLi4GB RAM100GB Main HDD, 300GB Slave (That enough for PC games these days?)As many USB slots as I can get, I'd like 8-10That's all that has been on my mind lately. I'd like a black case, but it really doesn't have to be super fancy and transform like some cases I've seen. Just look nice. I will want some blue lights in it, but not necessary. I think I would choose my cooling option based on how much money I have left.Can $900 give me this, or am I asking too much? I appreciate any help, thank you all very much!
hey logan, you forgot a mobo
if i were you i would look at bare bones kits. they provide the case mobo, and depending on witch one you get cpu, ram, psu ect... they can be helpfull if you have never built a computer befor
Didn't really read everything, but logan you put up a crossfire mobo and he wants SLI. You also chose DDR2 RAM and that motherboard only supports DDR3. ...
I will eventually get dual graphics cards, which is why I wanted something SLi ready. But I see what you mean... Is the 9800 good enough by today's standards as being good enough to run games at decent frame rates?
Well this depends on your resolution. If you are running at 2560 x 1600 resolution playing crysis maxed out then you wont get that good of frame rates. But for most games you can play maxed out at 1920 x 1200 which is 24" resolution.
well to start for your links press the button that looks like a globe with a little lock in front of it and paste your links into that... Just so you know, that makes it to where we can just click it! Any ways the sound card is good but I think that unleess you are and audiophile you will be completely happy with the onboard sound. IMHO it sounds exactly the same. The hard drive is good if you need a fast boot time but you wouldn't see a visable difference in gaming. The 1 tb is fine. And for the most part if you like the case and it has good reviews then get it! Lol.Hope this helps!
Yea. I have the antec 900 case and absolutely love it but wish I would have waited a little while and got the antec 900 version 2. It looks sick. Maybee you should check it out.
what do you mean version 2? as far as know the only thing that changed was precut holes in the mobo tray for cable routing. could you be thinking about the 1200 or the 300?
