New PC time

[[W33T] JimmytehHand8]

Ok guys by the end of the month i should have enough saved up for a new PC. I'm looking to spend about 600-800 bucks on one that will last me a few years with the ability to upgrade in the future. What kind of options do I have on the table?

Actually for the same price +$5 get the e8400 with 2mb extra L2

Here is my list link with better video (8800GT 512mb) and the e6850
Don't laugh at my PSU been using this specific one for 2 years.
I have also used it as replacement PSU on customers computers.
I have went thru over 20 of them and they all still work great.

$700 plus shipping

Sounds good, but I'm gonna have to wait until I get the money for it. I'm close now though.

Well.. I'm thinking you should tone it down a bit. Don't you think your system is a little too fast for you right now?

How about this config:

Beige Steel case
Intel 80486DX @ 33Mhz (with 'turbo' button.. pushes it to an amazing 45Mhz!! wow!)
AIM VESA-local bus mobo- 640k ram, 386 extended ram
4 - 1Mb 48 pin RAM chips (for smokin' performance!)
Award Video SVGA GPU for VESA-LocalBus 1024x768!! WOW!!
Seagate 540Mb HD @ 1300 rpm
2 button logitech mouse (beige, matches your case.. and TWO BUTTONS?!? what will you do with all those buttons!!?!??!)

Your GPU:

What do you have now?
I think I remember you owning me a little in COD4 one night.

[[W33T] JimmytehHand8]

Right now I have a K8N Neo Platinum motherboard with a ATI Radeon 9800 Pro with 1.5 Ghz of DDR Ram.

[SoupyC]

Hey I used to have that board.

[sir_digalot]

i will have to say the 9800pro was an epic video card.... for some reason, i just loved that card

Is there any way we can tweak this back to around 700? I have the money for it right now, just need to order the parts.

Tweaked to $620 plus shipping (this does not account for possible rebates)
with the E8200 CPU which I like and the 8800gs card.
The case is $80 and optional. You could use a cardboard box till you have
the cash for the case you want.

The 8800gs is 110
I rather you have the 8800gt 150
would only add $40 to the $620 and be the best $40 spent

Then minus $32 for cpu H/F stock is fine if not overclocking and a cool case.
Then minus $80 for the case and use a cardboard box for now.

$548 without a case and with better video card.
When your short on cash, be creative. LOL

[lamah]

there should be a couple of 8800gs deals on slickdeals that lets you have the thing for 65 bucks after rebate

[[W33T] JimmytehHand8]

So with everything and the 8800 gt 150 it would come to about 620$? That would work perfectly.

[JustMeBF2]

No $660 +shipping

[[W33T] JimmytehHand8]

How do I add the other card to that wishlist? I'm gonna go with the $660+shipping option.

[JustMeBF2]

added the card
$659.91 +$1 to change the E8200 to E8400

Man prices change so dam fast.


2x $20 rebates for later

make sure you're motherboard will work with the 45nm processors (8400+).

You may have to update your bios first, or you will have problems installing your os.

I cant get to that list, says that its secure or something like that.

Edit: Gah... its up to 750 again. I just want it set up to the point where its 650ish and I can just buy it before the price changes again.

[[W33T] JimmytehHand8]

Ok... parts are ordered and on their way.
