I am looking to buy a Samsung 226bw 22" for my new build. Everything is nice (DS3, 2gb ram, OC'd E4300 etc.) except since I am tight on cash it was a choice between getting the monitor and waiting to get an 8800 or vice versa.
I need a cheap (I'm talking $30 shipped) graphics card that will...
Didn't even think of that. That is a really good point.
By the time I can afford the GPU it will probably be substantially cheaper (ATI releasing their new line and what not) or there will be a better one out to take its place.
I'm still not 100% yet - I am a little worried that a 20...
Of course I did. I told you I've been planning this upgrade for a while and one of the first things that popped up was the 320mb vs. 640mb issue. The problem with this is that current benchmarks are of little use for comparing the two as current games don't utilize much more memory than the...
32mb would be less than what I'm getting with the PCI card...
But all spelling mistakes aside - that's not an option. This is an upgrade I've planned for a while and I don't want to skimp out this time :P
Thanks for the suggestion though! :)
The parts are arriving for my new build:
E4300 (to be overclocked)
Gigabyte DS3 (P965)
2gb OCZ Platinum rev2 (PC2 6400)
Corsair HX520
and an Enermax Chakra, 2 Yate Loon 120mms plus an Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro to cool it all off :P
My dilemma now is whether to get a monitor or...

2gb OCZ Platinum rev 2.0 (PC2 6400)

Obviously I'll be overclocking :)
My...
I originally planned on getting an OEM E4300 to save some bucks, but now I am reconsidering. I kind of want the warranty. Obviously I'll be over clocking but I've heard of plenty of people who made use of the warranty while OCing (there's no way of testing if the CPU has been OC'd?). Plus it's...
No ones replied here for a while so here's a little update..

Intel C2D E4300 - $103.81

I am going to go with the Antec Trio 550w for $74.99 AR. It is recommended by johnnyguru and has good reviews so should be fine.
Nevermind.. look what I found! $69.99 AR with Google Checkout and if you didn't click it it's a...
My OCZ Platinum came in the mail today :D Without taking it out (no use for it yet) I can say that it is indeed beautiful! :P I also got an offer on my computer and my RMA confirmed for my graphics card. Should be set to sell this rig in no time and ready to order the rest of the parts.
I'm in a tight situation here :D
The OCZ is still at $112, but I don't want to order it quite yet because the rebate must be postmarked within 10 days of purchase - since they don't ship or process on the weekends if I order now I am losing two days.. But then I face the possibility of the...
Alright for a case I've got the Cooler Master Centurion 534 in mind. Also for the power supply I've decided to "upgrade" to theEnhance ENP-5150GH 500w.
With these parts switched into my list the cost is now $592.57 before rebates and $532.57 after. :)
