New rig

[Me__2001]

not a bad setup there and reasonably priced, not entirely sure what prompted this as your current rig is pretty good

 

[Belloni]

No worries floppy. I'll hopefully know when i can order the parts this weekend.

Me_2001 my computer is 4 years old, i need a fresh start i have so much crap on here now it's pointless! My motherboard is un known so don't want to risk doing CPU upgrade etc, never going to buy from a company again!

+ I want a PC that will last me another good 3-4 years especially with all these new games i want to take advantage of the quad core etc.

I am updated my room alot too, whole new system, 32" flat screen in my room, XBOX 360 elite to it etc

If your going to oc that quad you will need a better cooler than the stock intel one.

Me_2001: For the sake of harmony, I deleted the last three posts on this thread.

I slept on things and I hope you'll agree with my decision

Now where were we?

Oh yes - Belloni, are you getting a bigger PSU?

 

[Belloni]

What posts?

Looks like it how about this one -

Don't want to spend too much on it Looks cool too!

 

[Me__2001]

thats cool flopps

hmm i dunno about OCZ PSU's, personally i'd go for a corsair or tagan, they are however damn expensive but with a rig like that i think its worth it

 

[floppybootstomp]

If you're really strapped for cash, the OCZ will do but as Me-2001 said, Corsair or Tagan are better.

Also, avoid Hiper & Antec, they seem to be breaking down all over the place just lately.

 

[V_R]

Go for the Corsair HX 620 mate if you can stretch to it. Its what i got. Its modular which means better cable management. and its silent too.

 

[Belloni]

Will go for that PSU then VR, thanks.

Final items are done now i think.

Took the sound card out for the cooler instead and the keyboard, as these arn't terribly vital to start with. (Plus whatever i can do to "make" it seem cheaper on here for my parents, then i'll just buy them seperatly

Anything i have missed?

I have a MX1000 mouse from ages ago, i don't think i have the CD, does that matter? Will the mouse work in my new system or?

 

[Belloni]

Btw I have a MX1000 mouse from ages ago, i don't think i have the CD, does that matter? Will the mouse work in my new system or?

Oops nearly forgot - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=SW-037-MS&tool=3

Yes, the MX1000 will work with your new system. You don't need drivers for it (the CD) but if you want the Logitech program that goes with it just download the latest Setpoint software from their site (I think it's 400 atm).

The MX1000 is a fine mouse but the best Logitech gaming mouse right now is the (corded) G7.

Some folks favour the Razer mice but I couldn't get on with the one I tried, a Diamondback I think it was.

 

[Belloni]

Ahhh i see cool.

Well, just gotta talk to my dad floppy, then hopefully, i can order them this week!

So your going Vista then?

The MX1000 is a fine mouse but the best Logitech gaming mouse right now is the (corded) G7

Cordless G7.

The best corded mouse atm is the G9.


Thats a nice spec Belloni, will see you right for a while.

One thing your missing though, You need a fan for that Thermalright Ultra 120. One of these will be perfect.

Looks like your good to go now.

 

[Belloni]

Yeah well thought and read about it.

Crysis will only use Direct X 10 on Vista not XP, so i may aswell get Vista or there is no point getting a direct x 10 card

I'll get a mouse at a later date, i still love my MX hehe

Ahh i see cool thanks for the help.

Also will i need more RAM for Vista or?

 

[V_R]

DX10 is Vista only full stop.

 

[Belloni]

Exactly

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-036-BG&groupid=701&catid=56&subcat=927 will go for that instead of the leadtek

 

[floppybootstomp]

Cordless G7.

The best corded mouse atm is the G9.

oops

What I meant to say was G5 but even that would be incorrect, wouldn't it?

So when did that G9 appear then? I didn't know about that one...

I got me's a G5 for my second machine cos I didn't think the MX1000 cut the mustard for CoD2 online.

The G5 does though

But the G5 won't work with a PS2 KVM so I'm still using the MX1000 on machine # 3. It's a fine mouse but imo just hasn't got that edge for gaming.

 

[TriplexDread]

I disagree mate i think the MX1000 is a fantastic mouse. Sure it has rivals and later versions but i use it with all my gaming and its functions are far superior to many other gaming mice out there. Wouldnt you agree?

Nope, not at all, sorry.

The G7 and G5 leave it miles behind in responsiveness and, er, whatever it is you use to describe more online kills...

 

[TriplexDread]

Too much response does cause problems imho just to sensitive takes too long to get used too etc

but i do get your point. Frags?
