Yes im going for 2 packs.. and how much power do you recommend?

Hey guys.. So we were looking on Newegg for some pieces.. using the knowledge I gained from building my last comp *Thanks Nadril and Oldjoe!* Im tired from looking over the web for so long.. so im not gonna bother making nice links. : Total: $1,392.51 CAD Case: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.as ... 6811146050 Hard Drive: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.as ... 6822136073 Graphic Card: *I personally love this one.. its 1gb 4850* http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.as ... 6814102802 PSU: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.as ... 6817153052 Memory: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.as ... 6820231098 Motherboard: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.as ... 6813128359 CPU: *Nice and fast..* http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.as ... 6819115130 Now.. I've spent hours cross-checking EVERYTHING. The only thing that makes me unsettled.. is the Memory.. its 800MHz, but the motherboard is 1366+ / 1066.. and i don't know if that's a recommendation, or what's REQUIRED.. and one last thing, the Graph. Card says: PCI Express based PC is required with one X16 lane graphics slot available on the motherboard 450 Watt or greater power supply with 75 Watt 6-pin PCI Express power connector recommended I really don't know what they mean with the X16 thing.. Anyways.. if you guys could do some more cross-checking on the pieces *Take your time!* we would be very grateful.. Thanks again.

Damn.. So it is relatively bad.. The problem is the 4850 is an extra 200 bucks.. which he doesn't have.. Other than building a computer (Which we are looking into again) is there any other option? EDIT: Then again, he's not a hardcore gamer.. he gave me a list of the games he plays.. Halo2 -- Spore -- Combat Arms -- Need4Speed -- Eve-Online Should those work on max settings with the 4670?

Gaming, and a Slight bit of 3d rendering (He and I make maps for Halo Custom Edition, Using GMAX)

Thankfully no one was killed cause the super-cool firemen used the Jaws of life to save people :thumbsup:

How would you rate the Graphic card? He was very turned off by that As well.. We picked out great pieces, and a 4850 card, for 1100 (I think)

Hey guys... My friend's trying to pick out a computer.. The top two choices are: Studio XPS 435 Desktop Computer. http://www1.ca.dell.com/content/products/productdetails.aspx/desktop-studio-xps-435?c=ca&l=en&s=dhs&cs=cadhs1&~oid=ca~en~70702~studdt_xps_435_en_lto_1~~ Pros: i7 processor 1 TB hard drive 8 GB ram! at 1066MHz, DDR3 Cons: i7 processor is at 2.66GHz, while the 630's is at 3.00GHz 100$ more expensive :roll: Or the: Studio XPS 630 Desktop Computer. http://www1.ca.dell.com/content/products/productdetails.aspx/xpsdt_630?c=ca&l=en&s=dhs&cs=cadhs1&~oid=ca~en~70702~xpsdt_630_en_feat_1~~ Please note that the XPS 630 got extremely high reviews in Consumer Reports magazine (In fact it was actually the highest-rated computer.) Pros: Consumer Reports Reviews. *Note Above* Intel Core2 Duo E8400 @ 3.00GHz 100$ cheaper :roll: Cons: Processor is Duo cored, but he needs a Quad Core 500GB hard drive, which is half the size of the 435's 6GB ram, which is 2 GB less than the 435, only 800MHz, DDR2 (435's is DDR3 @ 1066MHz) Now it's almost obvious that the 435 is the way to go. But those Consumer Reports are very highly-credentialed. It's hard to ignore them. And the 630 was the Highest rated computer! Any comments, suggestions or what not is appreciated. Quinton595~ =;

Too expensive to fly.

Whoops.. :roll: : Was that yours?

He didn't do a very good job..

Whoops... You missed :roll: :D
