| 1256335 | 2012-01-28 03:28:00 | Hi Guys, I'm in need of a new PC and I'm looking for a decent supplier that is reliable, has good prices, good advise and delivers on time. The last time I tried this I dealt with PC Gear in Dunedin and that turned into 3 months of lies and delays. I'm NOT going there again! I'm not 100% sure what I'm after but something along the lines of: i7 ??.?GHz but socket what ? A decent MB. Gigabyte? 8Gb Mem or more 2 x 500Gb or so decent fast HD's (I use one for the OS and the other of user data files) a decent 1Gb Geforce? graphics card case with P/S 750 Watts? optical drive say DVD burner etc 24x card reader OS windows 7 Home prem (it's for home use. Mainly used for Internet, MS Office, MYOB, Games, photos, etc) or should I go to Pro? Also looking for a good screen. Samsung 24"? Budget is around 1.5 to 2k or am I dreaming? LOL Looking forward to getting a list sorted and working with a supplier that's excels in customer service. |

| 1256336 | 2012-01-28 03:35:00 | Both Ascent.co.nz and computerlounge.co.nz have excellent reputations for service and very quick delivery. I use both as do many members here, recently bought a new PSU from Ascent and usually for Nelson it takes 2 days not this time next morning, not bad for over the water | gary67 (56) | ||
| 1256337 | 2012-01-28 04:47:00 | I use Ascent too. | Snorkbox (15764) | ||
| 1256338 | 2012-01-28 05:49:00 | Ascent. | pctek (84) | ||
| 1256339 | 2012-01-28 06:19:00 | Anyone care to suggest some components that would work well together in a system? | mchaggis (16202) | ||
| 1256340 | 2012-01-28 06:31:00 | Anything, just as long as it fits / it's compatible. You'll probably have to get either a socket 775 or 1155/56. Or AMD | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1256341 | 2012-01-28 06:33:00 | Got a budget? | Snorkbox (15764) | ||
| 1256342 | 2012-01-28 06:35:00 | 1.5 - 2k. Bottom of first post | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1256343 | 2012-01-28 06:54:00 | I've always gone with AMD just to keep them going on the basis that if we all supported Intel, AMD would go bust. Then what would we be paying for an i7? This time I'm going to go to an i7 but don't know what socket/MB combo will work together well. Any suggestion to help me spec a system would be great. Yep 1.5 - 2K or so. This is all up with monitor/OS etc. |

| 1256344 | 2012-01-28 07:25:00 | Well a socket 1155 will work with a socket 1155 motherboard. And if it is just for home use than most i7's are probably overkill you can get a very decent i5 for much cheaper. For instance my i5 2500k is totally capable of gaming. | Slankydudl (16687) | ||
