| 804250 | 2009-08-26 20:25:00 | Hey guys, thanks for the replies. I think I'll just but new off trade me. I think . Doesn't mention an operating system, and unless it's 64bit it won't even see 8GB RAM. There is no such thing as a 10GHz CPU. The monitor has a 3 yr warranty - and it's not a brand I'd get anyway, but how are you going to get warranty on the PC? The GPU isn't all that great. Doesn't say what brand HDD. Doesn't say what brtand graphics either. Icute case - and probably the PSU it was bundled with. Go to a reputable shop with proper after sales service. |

| 804251 | 2009-08-27 08:54:00 | Hey guys, I see what you mean about TradeMe. Thanks. Anyway, I found A System Builder on ComputerLounge and I choose some pieces to put in it. I was just wondering if you friendly peoples could say if its good or bad (This is my first time really looking at computer pieces/parts, and I don't want to stuff it up, sorry if I'm a pain ::blush:) Anyway, Before I list the parts. Two Video Adapters? There's a option here for a second, I did some research and it says that it will increase the FPS, but it did not say what quality the second card has to be. So could someone please clarify a 2nd video card. SYSTEM BOARD: ASUS P5Q SE2 Intel P45 DDR2 PCI-E PROCESSOR: Intel Core 2 Quad Q8200 2.33 GHz 4MB 1333MHz LG MEMORY: SuperTalent 4GB (2x2GB) DDR2-800 PC6400 Dual Channel GRAPHICS ADAPTER: BFG nVidia Gefore GTX275 OCX 896MB DDR3 PCI GRAPHICS ADAPTER 2: (Just a cheaper one) ASUS nVidia Geforce 9500GT 512 MB PCI-E OPERATING SYSTEM: Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition OEM Edition.

| 804252 | 2009-08-27 09:35:00 | You can add another one in, but you won't get the full power of both cards. Probably 80% or so. Its good if you plan to upgrade in a while after saving some money. You cannot use the 9500GT SLI(linked together) with the GTX275. That motherboard doesn't support SLI anyways. And DON'T get XP. Go for 7 Blam |

Ascent won't build it for you though. Skip the parts shown above, ASUS is the better motherboard - or use Gigabyte. Same with Graphics card brands. Two graphics cards isn't worth the cost, stick with the better of the ones you looked at. |
