| 872425 | 2010-04-08 09:05:00 | still 10 bucks that you dont need to spend... as for building it, I say have a crack. Its really not that hard and we're here if theres any problems |

| 872426 | 2010-04-08 09:29:00 | by building you mean me doing it myself instead of just choosing the components online and have them put it together? | nerd (109) | ||
| 872427 | 2010-04-08 09:31:00 | Thats it. You buy the ram, the mobo, the PSU, the hdd, CPU, cd/dvd's, and cards etc. Then install them | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 872428 | 2010-04-08 09:32:00 | buy all the parts and then sit down at home with a bourbon and nut it out. Its not hard and its useful to know when it comes to fixing things | hueybot3000 (3646) | ||
| 872429 | 2010-04-08 09:52:00 | ok then, so what exactly do i need to buy for a complete pc? and im trying to narrow down what i want: 4 gb of ram an i5 750 2.66 ghz or a AMD Phenom II X4 925 2.8 gigabyte 5080 or nvidia gts 250 a tb hdd i know it needs cooling and a case, some sort of mobo, etc. dont know of any though XD cant believe im studying to be a software engineer with this little knowledge, lol |

| 872430 | 2010-04-08 09:54:00 | Think about what you WANT to use it for first. Then decide on whether you want Intel or AMD. You need the case of course to put whatever in it. The PSU/CPU, hdd/ram, mobo, and cards. And windows if you dont have an OS. See if Cyabro can assemble it. Get the parts then PM him | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 872431 | 2010-04-08 10:02:00 | id ask him but i just remembered that i need to get the comp shipped to waikato because im only home for the holidays and im taking hte bus down. and getting free shipping to my hall would be sweet. my parents said to just take the laptop and build one in the symester break, that could be a good idea and i got nothing against this laptop except it has no gpu i think. does anyone know how to figure out what you have? it can barely run cod4, thats why i was stressing the 1gb thing, lol. figured out it wasnt the ram because my mates lptop runs it perfectly and he has the same spec except for the 1gb of gfx. | nerd (109) | ||
| 872432 | 2010-04-08 10:10:00 | Umm the laptop will have a GPU otherwise you wouldnt see anything, and you cant add one. And I wouldnt bother with trying to play games on laptops. Altho, this depends on the speed of the CPU on it, and the amount of ram |

A GPU is not just for playing games, it's for processing ANY graphics at all - that means the Windows GUI included. Most laptops have pretty lame GPUs not designed for gaming though. Graphics memory means nothing, I saw a laptop advertised on TV this week with 1.7GB of Video RAM - and it was some Intel Graphics (which are one of the WORST!) You need a decent Geforce or Radeon GPU with a good amount of RAM if you want to play games OK. Said 1.7GB Intel graphics would be easily beaten by my old 8600GT with only 256MB of RAM, most likely. |
