Build me a gaming pc

[kilburns8]

yea, I actually have done a little research on this and have watched some "how to" videos. Ive installed new hard drives and ram and actually a video card when bf2 first came out, but thats about the extent of my knowledge. Just wanted a little help on some things and I guess I came to the right place. I really appreciate your help man. I will be back to report.

am i going to be able to fit all this stuff in this case?

 

[mnewsham]

Hmm, im not sure about THAT case, i know it would fit in the HAF 912.

 

[mnewsham]

Looking at the pics it SHOULD all fit, the GPU might be a bit long however... hmm

 

[mpthegeneral]

Yes but conversely the 6950 OC's to outperform the 6970

But is the extra money really worth it if you're on a budget?

 

[kilburns8]

I like that case better anyway. beefy.

Just realized the other GPU had NO HDMI ports! it was the eyefinity edition, and thus had two DVI ports and 4 DisplayPorts. this one has two HDMI ports.

He doesnt need a monitor since he will be using the TV so he can splurg on the 6950

my budget is more of a guideline. I knew that I could get a fairly decent pc for that money. Ive read numerous places if your going to spend money, dont go cheap on the gpu. So if i have to splurge a little im ok with it. you get what you pay for. anything else i need to buy or take off before i do this?

 

[mnewsham]

Not that i can think of, just wondering, what is the final cost?

 

[kilburns8]

1,004.82

 

[kilburns8]

job well done sir

 

[mnewsham]

Damn i'm good

Enjoy your system man, if you need any help during the build you know where we will be.

 

[kilburns8]

appreciate it. cant wait. its going to be like christmas for me in a few days! funny thing is, i get all this new technology and what am i going to do? re install bf2..... october 25th will be the best day of my life. see you guys on the battlefield.

If you haven't already ordered it, I would get the 6950 2GB for $10 more. The extra VRAM will make a difference at 1080P.

 

[kilburns8]

build complete. thanks for the help!
