Shortbus's Computer - Shortbus - 07-17-2010 Hidey ho, Mike's Revenge forum go-ers. I'm sure over the months you've heard me rage about what a pile of **** my computer is, [SIZE="3"]and how **** horrible it is,[/SIZE] [SIZE="4"]and what a big **** pain in the **** it is,[/SIZE] [SIZE="5"]and how it crashes like a ****[/SIZE] [SIZE="6"]it's a **** gift sent by satan in order to make my life miserable,[/SIZE] [SIZE="7"]it's a **** pimple on the **** of shitville USA.[/SIZE] Well in the day of Now, I'm purchasing a new computer! I know it's weird to finally hear it, as in the past, I've said "Yeah guys, I'll be getting a new computer soon", and it's finally happening! Isn't this exciting! In this thread, I will post the hardware that I have chosen, and you guys get to tell me how **** I am for choosing said hardware, and then you tell me some beast-**** hardware which would be better. I have never been able to brag about the quality of my computer before, and it should be interesting. Price Range: <$650, no CPU included. tl;dr me post hardware, u post input & feel envious. [SIZE="3"]Motherboard[/SIZE] MSi 790xt I'd like to stick with ATi GPUs and AMD processors. And I need a motherboard that supports both AM2+ and AM3, as I will be using my current processor for a while before I get a new one. Motherboards are something I know the least about, so I need some help with this one. [SIZE="3"]Processor[/SIZE] AMD Phenom X4 955 I won't be getting the processor for a while [SIZE="3"]Video Card[/SIZE] Gigabyte HD 5830 Everybody's favorite part of a computer, the GPU. They're so pretty and they make your games pretty...I'm probably going to get the Gigabyte 5830. Not because it looks fancy and has two fans, but because Gigabyte is a solid company, and it has good specifications in relation to other 5830s. [SIZE="3"]Operating System[/SIZE] Windows 7 Home [SIZE="3"]The Case[/SIZE] Rosewill CHALLENGER I've already ordered the harddrive, powersupply, and some more RAM. I specifically chose things that would go with pretty much any (modern) motherboard, since I wasn't sure on it yet. [SIZE="3"]Hard Disk Drive[/SIZE] Western Digital AV-GP I'm not sure if I'll really need a whole terrabyte, but it's only $10 more expensive than the 500 GB HDD I was looking at, so, what the ****. [SIZE="3"]Power Supply[/SIZE] Antec Earthwatts 650W Ironically, this is the same PSU Flatcher has in his new Dell computer, and he says it's running his i7 and 5770 just fine. [SIZE="3"] RAM[/SIZE] Random cheap GSkill RAM It's the memory standard for the MSI 790xt. I've also got two other 1GB sticks in my current computer which will be moved over, but they're DDR2 800. Shortbus's Computer - Tai Huu - 07-17-2010 If you only bought RAM when they were actually WERE CHEAP. Only $40 for 4 Gigs back in zee ol' days. Everything checks out fine. Enough Amperage to supply a GPU and enough **** to fit in a mid-tower. Shortbus's Computer - Adam - 07-17-2010 You know whats funny today.I got one in a life chance to visit and look inside the Newegg Warehouse. Since today was Newegg Yearly Picnic Celebration At Jersey. You would not believe what i saw at my parents work. Over Billon Dollars of CPU Chips, SSD, AMD Cores, Computer towers, TV, you say it. It was crazy. Plus Newegg never allows any teens or kids to visit Newegg. Only today I got to the see warehouse. Shortbus's Computer - Fred U - 07-18-2010 BAMF = Luckiest nerd alive, Sean, are you sure about that? He won't need like a 1000w PSU to power a dual core 2.4 intel? :troll: Shortbus's Computer - Tai Huu - 07-18-2010 Imma get you a ladder so you can get off my back, Fred. That was bout 2 years ago, so go **** yourself :|
