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. What is wrong with my selected shops. Computer Lounge is the best shop you can buy from, and i know people that have spent 1000's of dollars at C1 shopping mall, no problems. Just no to sure about XP computers, but if it as a warrenty then they have to give a refund. |

| 723484 | 2008-12-14 01:43:00 | You missed a very important component, which if not listed, we cant comment on whether of not your GPU will be good enough..!..The monitor! | SolMiester (139) | ||
| 723485 | 2008-12-14 02:02:00 | Looking to get the LG W2252TQ-PF 22 1680x1050 or one with 1080(for ps3)www.computerlounge.co.nz Though im gonna get this a few months after the build, so ill be using my 15" 1024x768. Slight possiblity i might go for a 24" 1920 x 1200 but not very likely. I know that the 4850 512mb isnt going to be that great on a 1920x1200 resolution. |

Well, you have answered your question then...personally, I dont like ATi cards...I dont like their 2 month driver trunks for game releases and I dont like their cooling solutions, or should I say, lack of cooling solutions...If there is the slightest chance of you getting a 24"LCD, then you would need the !gb version which is more expensive than the 260GTX, which is a better performer.... |

| 723487 | 2008-12-14 03:32:00 | Thanks for that SolMiester. Im still having trouble picking the right Ram for me though. see page 6 question 3 and 4 What do you mean by "I dont like their 2 month driver trunks for game releases" Thanks |

Im still having trouble picking the right Ram for me though . see page 6 question 3 and 4 What do you mean by "I dont like their 2 month driver trunks for game releases" Thanks ATi release monthly drivers, however, they have 2 difference test suites of games, that they rotate month on month to test their drivers against . As for RAM, unless you wish to run RAM asynchronously, you will want RAM as fast as you expect you FSB to run . |

| 723489 | 2008-12-14 06:44:00 | Get some good quality RAM if you're planning to OC, Corsair,Crucial and GSkill are good. Stick with the Corsair 620watt. It won't really matter if you get modular or not, your cables will just be tidier. Ati 4850 is a good choice, an the antec 900 case means you've got plenty of room for upgrades |

| 723490 | 2008-12-14 07:16:00 | Antec 900? Man, I feel guilty because I just bought a 1200 for $220. :D | qazwsxokmijn (102) | ||
| 723491 | 2008-12-14 08:56:00 | Thanks. I got a problem though i hear that the CPU I was going to buy the Q6600, there is virtually none left in NZ and is now discounted. Heres a list of the possible quads to get now, which one do you recommend the most bang for buck price/performance. Processor NumberΔ Cache Clock Speed Front Side Bus PriceSpy Trusted store 45nm Q9400 6MB L2 2.66 GHz 1333 MHz $473 $516 45nm Q9300 6MB L2 2.50 GHz 1333 MHz $398 $398 45nm Q8200 4MB L2 2.33 GHz 1333 MHz $371 $376 65nm Q6600 8MB L2 2.40 GHz 1066 MHz $354 $358 www.intel.com Is this correct? Because the Q9300 has a Front side Bus of 1333MHz it drops its overclock multiplier to 7.5, because the Q6600 has a FSB of 1066MHz it can have a higher multiplier of 9, allowing it to be a better over clocker? What excatly does the Cache do (im still a noob) does it mean like the start up off programs or data such as in games are stored so next time when you load the same program or go to previous data it loads faster. If so what difference would you notice from a 4MB cache to a 6MB cache, just more faster program and data? |

| 723492 | 2008-12-14 09:48:00 | Dump all those processors except Q6600 off the list. Best to go with at least a G0 Q6600, or a Q9450. The cache is a small but very fast memory built into the CPUs. Data that are frequently accessed are stored into the CPU cache so it can benefit by being processed faster. Games love big CPU cache. |
