| 723473 | 2008-12-01 22:37:00 | forgot to add, maby u could take a look at my furture build plan. Next year may upgrade graphics card. Then 2010 if intel i7 cpu, supported mother board and cheaper DDR3 prices come down, replace those things with my current build. That is why i choose a bang for buck $180 Motherboard, $300 quad and $149 4x4gb DDR2 ram. I can keep my 600gb drive, 750W PSU, antec 900 case, DVD WR 64bit vista, monitor, mouse, keyboard. |

A Nehalem Quad will not give you any advantage over a yorkfield quad which you are buying now.....besides which something else will be out in 2010 better than Nehalem (i7) |

| 723475 | 2008-12-02 05:47:00 | The case im looking to get is the [ANTEC] NINE HUNDRED GAMING CASE. At the moment it is on sale for $179 at C1 shopping mall for 67 hours left www.c1com.co.nz and the next cheapest is at PB Tech Hamilton but in Hamilton for $185.00 www.pbtechnz.com making the real next price $191.81 at Expert Infotech www.einfo.co.nz My question is since im going to build this pc at around january do i buy it at C1 shoping mall now and save my self $12 or do i wait till January and see if the price has dropped to or below $179 And what actaully happens when the C1 timer reaches 0, just restarts or goes of sale? if any one knows. Thanks |

| 723476 | 2008-12-02 05:51:00 | Yeah, CPUs with 8 cores would have come out then:drool I doubt it will drop, as the NZ market is falling miserably, causing everything(including computer parts) to rise in price. So, buy now while the price is down |

| 723477 | 2008-12-02 06:31:00 | Before i buy are their any other recommendations. The reason i choose the antec 900 was cause it was highly recommended, with good air flow. What are full tower cases mainly used for and what are their advantages. Im guessing for a motherboard filled with hardware,water cooling, and extreme over clocking. |

| 723478 | 2008-12-02 06:41:00 | They're bigger, more room for future upgrades, better airflow. They're usually used for gamers, as gamer rigs, and extreme overclockers |

Mate, can you not do any research yourself? check out a few more forum or hardware review sites? |

| 723480 | 2008-12-02 09:54:00 | Sol's right. The right keywords + google and you can probably become even a top-notch terrorist. Check out reviews of some full tower cases and you are bound to see one that you'd love. I myself have a Gigabyte Aurora 570, which is a great case but poor air intake if you use the acrylic window panel (it also comes with a mesh panel to allow excellent airflow, but it does get dusty quicker). |

| 723481 | 2008-12-13 23:20:00 | Ok ive sorted some stuff out . This is how the build looks now Hi im going to build this PC and would like some recommendations, or if i should change any thing . I will use it for mainly gaming and playing the latest games, wont to play at max settings, yet it is a bang for buck system with bang for buck hardware, maximum performance/price . Budget: No real budget as the most bang for buck hardware will determine the price . Prices and list . MotherBoard: Asustek P5Q Pro Intel P45 ATX:$241 . 01 Recommended every where, any disadvantages? XP Computers Graphics card: ATI Radeon HD 4850 512MB graphics card:$298 . 08 Best bang for buck card at the momment am I right? C1 shopping mall Case: Antec Nine Hundred Tower Gaming Case:$179 . 95 BROUGHT C1 shopping mall Ram : DDR2 :$140-$165 Read Question 3 C1 shopping mall Power Supply: Thermaltake Toughpower Modular 750W Modular $226 . 40 OR Corsair 750W TX Series PSU non modular $189 Do i go for a $37 dearer PSU for a modular, same Wattage? I heard Corsair is the best choice in PSU's to? The antec 900 i hear isnt the best for cable management but i recieved the latest version with i think 3 large slots on the motherboard back plate . Which is more furture proof out of the to? C1 shoping mall or Computer Lounge DVD Writer: Asustek DRW-2014L1T Serial-ATA DVD Writer:$41 . 58 Recommended basic DVD writer no need to spend extra $$$ C1 shopping mall CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600, 2 . 4GHz, LGA775, quad core:$354 . 38 Best for the furture/ games being developed for quad cores even though E8500 better at the momment XP computers OS:Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate OEM 64-bit:$290 . 25 Want 64 bit vista but not sure if i need Ultimate, id probally just go with Home premium any comments? C1 shopping mall Hard Drive: Western Digital 640GB SATA 7200rpm hard drive:$118 . 10 Not sure, but 640gb seems the best bang for buck hard drive, any recommended brands? C1 shopping mall Total:$1718 . 8 - Reason for selected shops . Cheapest prices with the most trusted stores . Havent bought any thing from XP computers, but it is a recommend store, any experiences . . gpforums . co . nz/thread/297771/?s=" target="_blank">www . gpforums . co . nz Questions 1: Is the dollar with NZ to USA gonna get better through out 2009 which it has caused huge price increases, should I wait or build In January, or is this how it is going to be for ages(all year and next)? I ask cause back in October CPUs where around $100 cheaper ATI 4850 $50-60 cheaper And I think Motherboards $20-30 cheaper . 2: Should i get a better Motherboard, if i plan to overclock in the furture? Yet this is a bang for buck PC and the P5Q PRO is very popular . 3: Im looking to buy some ram but want to know which is better 2x2gb 800mhz(or higher if its possible at CL4) CL4 or 2x2gb 1066Mhz CL5 . Which is better and why? This is my first build, but i know that lower the lantacy CL4 is better then CL5 and the higher the Mhz is better . But which combination is better, for performance and espcially gaming . Would the first option of ram be better as you could over clock it increaseing the Mhz up to 1066 . Would there be any disadvantages and would this be easy for a first time PC builder and overclocker? 4: What Ram should i go for? Or any other recommenedations . These where just the cheapest bang for buck RAM with different possibilities I could find on C1 shopping mall . Either . c1com . co . nz/shop/step1 . php?number=15600" target="_blank">www . c1com . co . nz . c1com . co . nz/shop/step1 . php?number=13254" target="_blank">www . c1com . co . nz . c1com . co . nz/shop/step1 . php?number=12393" target="_blank">www . c1com . co . nz And where can I find the Outcome of ram at the cheapest price in NZ . I had a look on price spy but cant seem to find what im looking for . 5: How does the Thermaltake Toughpower 750W Modular look for $226 or should i go for a Corsair 750W TX series non modular? . Pretty bang for buck being modular and plenty of W's for upgrades to come? Thanks |

| 723482 | 2008-12-13 23:26:00 | You're buying stuff from the wrong shops. If anything's faulty, lets just say you're probably screwed, even if it's under manufacturer warranty. Check out Ascent (ascent.co.nz) and Playtech (playtech.co.nz). You'll pay a bit more - but you'll get excellent service if anything goes wrong. |
