| 872434 | 2010-04-09 05:54:00 | ok then a new method. how bout people suggest different builds to me that are around the 1500 price range (+-100?) then we have like a vote or something. and i dont think id need a very overclockable thing because i have no idea how to overclock and i probably will not do it until my computer is old and useless for anything. | nerd (109) | ||
| 872435 | 2010-04-09 06:04:00 | We're here to help, not hold your hand. Do a little research yourself. Other than COD what are you going to use it for? If its primarily gaming then allow as much money as possible for graphics card. Editing etc then give more money to the CPU and Ram. There is a few suggested systems already in this thread, have you even paid attention? Overclocking isn't for newbies so wouldn't worry to much about highend mobo (thats basically the difference between an overclockable pc and one that wont) and ram. But do yourself a favour and buy decent brands, like asus and gigabyte. They are much less likely to let you down. And spending $250 on a PSU might seem a bit wasteful but considering it powers everything its money well spent. Sure a cheapo no name PSU will still boot your computer, at some point though it will die on you and drag something or everything down with it. Enermax and Corsair are brands that I would trust the most. |

| 872437 | 2010-04-09 06:34:00 | swap the psu for a better brand and sorted, seems kinda pricey though. Price everything on pricespy and see what it comes out as | hueybot3000 (3646) | ||
| 872438 | 2010-04-09 06:41:00 | this might sound really noobish, but which ones the psu? and is this one better than the playtech assasin gtr with the amd phenom II prosessor? imo that is a good computer so does my equally noobish friend, playtech is not a bad company so i guess the playtech approved psu wont be too bad.. il post here with the total after iv run it through pricespy | nerd (109) | ||
| 872439 | 2010-04-09 06:43:00 | coolermaster 600watt is the psu | hueybot3000 (3646) | ||

| 872441 | 2010-04-09 07:10:00 | i5-$323.48 gigabyte p55 usb3 - $215 kingston - $223 wd - $127 5850 - $ 472 cooler master (found the psu) - 182 lg gh22ns50 - $46 except for that $15 frieght this seems a lot cheaper than pricespy. i also looked at the price for a gforce 260 and it looks like ill save about 100 dollars if i get that and it will be more in my price range. |

| 872442 | 2010-04-09 07:16:00 | corsair 520 hx for $168 corsair 650 tx for $187 enermax liberty eco 620w for $164 antek earthwatts 650w for $134 i think the antek would be best for power output but i dont really know what matters when choosing psu's |

| 872443 | 2010-04-09 07:20:00 | If you don't know how to pick PSUs then all you'll need is the watt rating and brand. Any of the brands you've picked are good - go with any. | qazwsxokmijn (102) | ||
