Novice Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 So an old friend desperately needed a new PC, actually called me around 11PM told me "I will pick it up in the morning" made me an awesome offer I could not resist so I sold my old PC last week. Used the same money to buy this new PC, still need to get a Dedicated Video card but the on the board works just as fine if not better for now than my old one. Also I am not really liking this new keyboard, might go back to my old one will give it a few more days and see.

Novice Posted March 9, 2012 Author Posted March 9, 2012 No graffic card i gues for gaming most important ^^ ? I only play ET right now, hopefully in the next few weeks I can order a card so I can play BF3. The integrated one is better than the dedicated one I was using previously, seems to be working decently right now. but yes indeed I need one, soon soon Quote

TulsaGeoff Posted March 9, 2012 Posted March 9, 2012 560 $139+shipping after rebate: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?SID=gAa2MGnwEeGtjVLcST-z5A0&AID=10440897&PID=1225267&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-cables-_-na-_-na&Item=N82E16814121466 I'm not a fan of green series harddrives for anything other than backup. They tend to be towards the slower end of the spectrum. It will be a nice beast after you get some video power. Quote
Elf Posted March 12, 2012 Posted March 12, 2012 How do you like the FX 6100 amd cpu? I just put it in my new computer too. I like it, its pretty dang fast coming from a old amd xp 3100 but I would have gone for i5 or i7 maybe? but no extra money to buy the intel one. Dan Quote
Novice Posted March 12, 2012 Author Posted March 12, 2012 I was definitely considering going the i5 route, although it's only a quad core, the benchmarks i read put it right up there with the FX series. Ultimate decision was cost for me, I could not get a configuration to work with my budget. I can't really compare the CPU as I came from the AMD Phenom II X2 550 Black Edition Callisto 3.1GHz, which is pretty much the same as this one in terms of speed etc... The CPU is working great however, no issues yet, with the cpu cooler i mentioned above it's running at 22-32 C pretty nice. Quote
TulsaGeoff Posted March 13, 2012 Posted March 13, 2012 Take pics!!! No one cares to read a parts list 1 Quote
Elf Posted March 17, 2012 Posted March 17, 2012 Nice yeah just for me I had bad ram, and was gettign blue screens, but now its running good. I 'm back on ET !!!! wahoo! The FX 6100 is pretty good, I tryed to find a 1100 t or 1095 t black but just priced like 300 dollars on ebay. too much! 1 Quote
Faithless Posted March 18, 2012 Posted March 18, 2012 And I so I did last year with my old PC. I sold and the money I took from it, I put money difference and I made a new piece. Quote
