| 1325014 | 2013-01-26 06:17:00 | Hi, I thought of custom building a gaming PC, using trademe, mostly new products, and maybe other new products from other shop, using this graphics card (5750 2GB): www.trademe.co.nz This Motherboard and CPU (Core 2 Duo 2.8Ghz) www.trademe.co.nz This totals to about 240, and I don't need a hard drive or a monitor, or keyboard or mouse, So I need a case, RAM, and a psu, can anybody help? |

| 1325016 | 2013-01-26 06:37:00 | Didnt you ask the same question here (pressf1.pcworld.co.nz). The CPU wont be 5.6 GHZ. Its 2.8. Just because its dual core, doesnt mean you x the GHZ by 2 Looks like it supports DDR 2 667/800. You can get either a MATX or ATX case. Since the mobo is MATX |

| 1325017 | 2013-01-26 09:51:00 | Have a look on TM for the RAM. From what I have seen DDR2 are not cheap. They cost like 4x to DDR3. From recollection 4GB cost something like $120 or $140.... Re: at a store. But you probably don't need 8 or 16GB of them .. | Nomad (952) | ||
| 1325018 | 2013-01-26 13:34:00 | if you're wanting ram, a case and a psu for 60 dollars you're asking for trouble. You'd probably get better results by putting your components in plastic lunch containers and taping batteries to it for a power supply. and erm.. jam a sheep into the slot for the ram. there we go. joke about all 3. Seriously though, I doubt you'll be able to pull it off. Save your money and get something decent instead of buying something meh now and having to upgrade every couple months as it falls out of date.As it is you'd need a 500ish watt power supply and that's gonna run you a bit for an ok one. Unless you want an old OEM case or something I think at least 60-100 for the case, and yes DDR 2 is on the rise so it's quite pricey now. oh and edit, i know you say you have a harddrive, but your existing installation will break as soon as you plug it into the new kit, and also if it's an OEM license then it won't work with a reinstall. Unless you're pirating but we don't talk about that here. |

| 1325019 | 2013-01-26 21:25:00 | www.pp.co.nz $60 for 2GB, $100 for 4GB. Which games are you wanting to play? I understand you're keen to do this, but PC gaming is the most expensive type of gaming there is and doing it for < $300 is a big ask. I'd be looking at something like www.pp.co.nz which is at least current tech but by the time you add a case, power supply, graphics card, and OS you've left $300 in the dust somewhere way behind you. |
