Specs: 620w PSU, 3870 HD , Q6600 @ 2.4, 4GB DDR2.What parts should I replace soon and with what? Keep in mind that I have not overclocked anything.How much longer will my computer last ?
If you want to play all game with max graphic setting... it last this year... You should change your HD 3870 with HD4870...How much longer will my computer last ?
I have the same question..

[QUOTE=''Aldouz'']If you want to play all game with max graphic setting... it last this year... You should change your HD 3870 with HD4870...[/QUOTE] This answer is misleading. Should have just said, change the GPU and it will last 2 more years. End of story. I would wait for HD4870x2 seeing as how you're not time pressured. It's just around the corner and it should perform dead even with HD4870 Crossfire if not better in SOME games. If you have a crossfire mobo, you're set for Quadfire. 2 years sounds about right. Depends how Nehalem turns out. Just be happy with your build, make the necessary changes here and there, like the GPU, add a few touches and go with the flow. Technology will always change rapidly when it comes to PC gaming, so dont expect to hold onto your build for a long time. I would suggest to stop looking at the technology and look at the games. Are the games utilizing all of this technology like DDR3 and Nehalem, etc? If not, then dont sweat it.. Crysis is probably like the only game on the planet that is demanding. Your build can probably run all games besides Crysis on max for another year or two.

Would this work ???
Would I be able to put an 8800gt into this computer http://www.bestbuy.ca/catalog/proddetail.asp?logon=%26langid=EN%26sku_id=0926INGFS10107504%26catid=20217Would this work ???
No. It has an insufficient power supply, insufficient cooling, and because it is an Inspiron it probably has a non-standard motherboard that based on other's issues with large cards, will not fit the 8800 GT.What you need to do is go to some Canadian equivalent to newegg.com such as ncix and buy parts to assemble a computer from scratch. With a $1000 budget sans monitor you can get a nigh top of the line computer by building yourself and that's the same money you would have spent on that piece of junk Dell and the video card. Would this work ???

Realistically, how hard would it be for me to build a PC?
OK the most advanced thing I've done inside of a computer is changing RAM... realistically, how long would it take for someone like me to learn how to build a PC and build one?Realistically, how hard would it be for me to build a PC?
I haven't ever built one, but I'm sure people here would say it's not hard at all. There are videos on YouTube telling you how, and everybody here would give you the parts you need for building a computer. Realistically, how hard would it be for me to build a PC?
Learning how would not take you very long. Just read a good guide on the Internet. It's simpler than you think. As long as you can read instructions and don't do anything stupid, you'll be fine. Actually building it shouldn't take you more than a few hours, depending on how fast you go. Newegg.com is my favorite place to buy computer parts. Good luck on your build.
For the building processor it takes about 1-2 hours if you want to be real careful and as for learning just read these guides http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x1NxsHpaL_s http://www.corsairmemory.com/systembuild/report.aspx?report_id=78237%26sid=1 (ignore the heatsink and bios section) and ask a few questions here. That should be enough since its really not that hard, I did it at a very young age, you have a board to help you, and you only have to buy 8-9 parts.
OK thanks a ton! Sounds alot easier than I thought. I'm considering doing this soon. :)
its pretty easy, but you will want a few hours. basicly everything has slots that fit into each other and most mobs now have labels on the mob saying what all the conectors are for. you just plug the bits into the mob like lego. all the parts have detailed instructions saying how to install them. just make sure you put risers under the mob in the case
Its pretty easy. I would recomend a modular power supply though. The thing that slowed me down was the excess cables and how to hide them.
Do a lot of research before buying any items ,make sure that you have everything compatible,and the quick installation guide that comes with the motherboard will help alot,make sure that you have a friend or someone to rely on in-case of having any problemsIf your build went fine,believe me ,you will become addicted to building your own pcs ......lol
Depends on your build. It took me several hours because it was my first time building a PC. 8 hours because I had to read manuals, ask questions on the forum, watch Youtube videos, and read guides. My actual time, physically putting the PC together would probably total out to be less but it was pretty time consuming, not to mention overwhelming for me. When I got everything up and running, I had to make sure everything was working properly. I did run into some issues but a few questions here and there and they were addressed and fixed. On top of that, I had to redo all of my cabling and wire management because I didnt do a great job when I first put it together. Now, it's so spacious inside and very roomy. Air flows perfectly. Hamsters can run around in it and not trip over cables or wires. As a newbie, I think I did an excellent job. You gotta have a lot of will and determination, and if you have a HUGE case like mine, lift with your knees, not with your back. It's going to take quite the effort. But it's not impossible. Once you're done, it's going to be so EASY building your next PC. That's how I feel now. But the first run through will be a bit overwhelming and complicated. Make sure to ask a lot of questions on the PC Hardware forum because someone will definitely help you, and keep bumping your thread if it's not answered. That's what I did. You're going to be fine. Best of luck and enjoy.

well the configuration wasmade on a site from Intel, they're not like the cheapest company but I know that the quality is good, the cards may be bad but i can put 2 8800 GTX cards in it and burn them all down so I'm always looking at the quality first, not necessarily the power or whatever, btw when I bought that one those things were pretty new to the market or at least most of them and as you know, when things come to the market, the first half year the prizes are somewhat insane, if you would buy that one right now it would be much less in price, I should've wait i know but I am looking to some of the Paladin series and probably going to sell this one and buy one of the paladin series...

this quadcore isn't the only computer in the house to be honest;)

Well, whatever makes you happy Facekicker. Although I find $7000 for a PC extremely unecessary, you're entitled to your happiness. You only live once. Knock on wood, you may walk out the door and die tomorrow. So, more power to you. Seems like you're wealthy so you're not hurting anyone. Just make sure to donate money to charity and the church. ;) My build is in my sig. Try not to be harsh. :PNote: As you can tell, I haven't overclocked yet. I plan to OC, but I have to wait one more week to break it in.
Trust me, 'wealth' is a big word if you think i'm wealth;)and i do give money to charity, especially to foundations who take care of children with diabetics, 'cause i'm diabetic myself since i was born;) I maybe have a bit of money but my heart is still on the right place don't worry :)
btw your build isn't really bad to be honest, even I would be already happy with something like that, especially the case;)
[QUOTE=''FaceKicker'']btw your build isn't really bad to be honest, even I would be already happy with something like that, especially the case;)[/QUOTE] It isnt really bad compared to your build, but it's a beast for the average hardcore PC gamer. I max out every game, even Crysis with very playable framerates, so I'm pretty much set for a while. It's my first build too, and I did it myself. Yeah, I'm proud of that. :P The case is sexy but it's not going to do until I get one more fan for the blowhole. I have 4 fans so far. Temps are good but not great. But then again, it could be the weather here in Southern California. Like I said, I haven't overclocked yet and I dont need a Quad because all I do is websurf and play games. And I plan to upgrade to HD4870 Crossfire or HD4870x2, depending on the outcome of benchmarks and pricing. Also, I'll be running RAID 0 with the Raptor X's along with the GPU upgrade. If I go Quadfire, that PSU has to go. Realistically, I'm looking at Crossfire HD4870. I'm through spending any more money on this build. I already spent $2000 on everything and that to me is already overkill. My priority with this rig is Crossfire. That's about it.

well the configuration wasmade on a site from Intel, they're not like the cheapest company but I know that the quality is good, the cards may be bad but i can put 2 8800 GTX cards in it and burn them all down so I'm always looking at the quality first, not necessarily the power or whatever, btw when I bought that one those things were pretty new to the market or at least most of them and as you know, when things come to the market, the first half year the prizes are somewhat insane, if you would buy that one right now it would be much less in price, I should've wait i know but I am looking to some of the Paladin series and probably going to sell this one and buy one of the paladin series...

Well, whatever makes you happy Facekicker. Although I find $7000 for a PC extremely unecessary, you're entitled to your happiness. You only live once. Knock on wood, you may walk out the door and die tomorrow. So, more power to you. Seems like you're wealthy so you're not hurting anyone. Just make sure to donate money to charity and the church. ;) My build is in my sig. Try not to be harsh. :PNote: As you can tell, I haven't overclocked yet. I plan to OC, but I have to wait one more week to break it in.
Trust me, 'wealth' is a big word if you think i'm wealth;)and i do give money to charity, especially to foundations who take care of children with diabetics, 'cause i'm diabetic myself since i was born;) I maybe have a bit of money but my heart is still on the right place don't worry :)
btw your build isn't really bad to be honest, even I would be already happy with something like that, especially the case;)
[QUOTE=''FaceKicker'']btw your build isn't really bad to be honest, even I would be already happy with something like that, especially the case;)[/QUOTE] It isnt really bad compared to your build, but it's a beast for the average hardcore PC gamer. I max out every game, even Crysis with very playable framerates, so I'm pretty much set for a while. It's my first build too, and I did it myself. Yeah, I'm proud of that. :P The case is sexy but it's not going to do until I get one more fan for the blowhole. I have 4 fans so far. Temps are good but not great. But then again, it could be the weather here in Southern California. Like I said, I haven't overclocked yet and I dont need a Quad because all I do is websurf and play games. And I plan to upgrade to HD4870 Crossfire or HD4870x2, depending on the outcome of benchmarks and pricing. Also, I'll be running RAID 0 with the Raptor X's along with the GPU upgrade. If I go Quadfire, that PSU has to go. Realistically, I'm looking at Crossfire HD4870. I'm through spending any more money on this build. I already spent $2000 on everything and that to me is already overkill. My priority with this rig is Crossfire. That's about it.
HD 4870 issue
Hello everyone,
I have an ATI 4870, i installed the latest catalyst driver and now when I go into games like COD4 or Combat Arms, the monitor flickers on and off for a few seconds randomly throughtout the game.
Sometimes it happens a lot, sometimes it doesnt as much. I have just gotten this card and its new. What is the problem? Anyone experience this as well?
thank you in advance.HD 4870 issue

thank you in advance.[/QUOTE] I've gotten a couple game crashes. Once playing The Witcher, and once playing Crysis. I'll be honest, the HD4870 8.7 Catalyst Driver isnt nothing to brag to your friends about. It's suppose to make games more stable, and increase performance by 1% which is lackluster to say the least. I had a lot of trouble downloading the driver as well, getting errors and corrupt data. After a few tries, I was able to get it to download perfectly. If you dont feel like you want it, dont download it because it doesnt really do anything. If you can download it with no trouble, then get it. As for the flickering, I havent run into any, and I pray that I dont. Overall rating of 8.7 driver = Crap.HD 4870 issue
I have no issues with the 8.7 Catalyst suite.Did you make sure to remove any previous (Nvidia) drivers?Also, try and use the 8.6 4800 Hotfix drivers and see if they work. They're on the AMD Game site, top of the Radeon drivers page.Elann, if you're getting corrupt data downloads, you're either having problems with your network, RAM, HDD or motherboard.

Building a PC - can you help me pick out parts?
Hi! OK I have decided I will build a PC. :D But I need help with exactly WHAT I need to buy, what will be compatible with what, etc... Can you help pick out all the parts I would need to build the following? Thanks! (BTW I am from Canada so sadly I can't use newegg *cries*)I'm looking for one with:
Quad Core CPU
4 GB RAM
A really good video card (Recommendations??? :D)
Harddrive size doesn't really matter, maybe 300GB or whateverThe amount I wanna spend is around $1000 (not including tax), I can be flexible if it means big performance upgrade (like $1250 or even higher), but yeah. :D Just looking to build a good PC that will be able to play alot of the latest games and future games at high settings. I don't even know what to look for in a motherboard or power supply or anything like that though, so that's why I need help. So can you recommend me all of the parts and stuff that I would need to build my own?Thanks! :DBuilding a PC - can you help me pick out parts?
Because you're not from canada, i suggest ncix.com.
Good service, cheap shipping.

Does ATI video cards work better on AMD cpu's ?
AND does Nvidia cards are more for Intel CPu's ?ATI and AMD are now together, i got a new pc which has an AMD quad core cpu with integrated ATI hd 3200. It works fine , but if i get a nvidia card , is it going to give me more performance than an ATI card??? Does ATI video cards work better on AMD cpu's ?
no...Does ATI video cards work better on AMD cpu's ?
No, not really. Get an Intel CPU because they perform better in nearly every price catagory!
The only advantage would be AMD overdrive and one stop shopping for support/drivers... but if those are your reason for going pure AMD then your an idiot.I have a Nvidia GFX card and a AMD cpu.. Only because at the time they price/performance for the two items was the greatest for my budget.
AMD is now owned by ATI right so I guess you could get extra performance :S no proof though.
