| 1159669 | 2010-12-07 06:56:00 | In the spirit of christmas I though i'd do the family a favor and build a nice new desktop and thrash the hell out of it over the christmas break. that way I can pull a sickie and not go to aunty Ida's for lunch :yuck: Current build specs (not pulled together too well, just off the top of the think pile) -CPU: AMD Hexa Core 1055T, 2.8GHz 9MB cache -Motherboard :Gigabyte 880GM-USB3, AMD880G Chipset, USB 3.0 support -Graphics Card:ATI HD5770, 1GB GDDR5, -Ram: 4GB Corsair DDR3-1333 -HDD: 1TB SATA2 HDD -Optical Drive: 24x DVD-RW < not that important -Antec 300 + 550W PSU -Sound: 8-channel Intel High Definition Audio -Network: Mobo comes with gigabit, i'll put my SMC wireless into it for the FSS -OS Win7 (ultimate 64x) -Screen: AOC 24" 2434pw Full HD widescreen -Keyboard & Mouse < whatever I have lying around. going to china soon, i'll get something over there Use will be to drive the MT touch screen (pretty resource intensive) epic gaming and some, but very little 3D rendering/animation stuff, Not sure on buying a 3D capable card, worth it? Anyway, cheers for thoughts/suggestions! |

| 1159671 | 2010-12-07 07:51:00 | Haha, of course I will. Its not that bad, but I do need this build for the MT table, my laptop doesn't quite cut the processing power or graphics needed to run some of the high end apps properly, also compilting scripts takes a long time on the old Turion, | The Error Guy (14052) | ||

| 1159673 | 2010-12-07 10:25:00 | More RAM. If you're going 64bit, then go for 6-8Gb. This. RAM is so cheap, 4GB is under speccing it in a system like that. |

| 1159674 | 2010-12-07 18:54:00 | www.trademe.co.nz I think I might change CPU to this Will definitely be putting in 8gb eventually, my plan is to get it running asap, therefore save the $150 on RAM and spend it on other components Cheers |
