just ordered new PC bits.

[perfectbeast2001]

gonna upgrade my pc. well i bought so many bits it looks like the only thing left from my old pc will be the DVD drive!!

AM2 Nvidia 590 motherboard SLI ready
Athlon x2 4600+ processor
2x nvidia 7600gts in SLI configuration
2 gig of OCZ "special ops" RAM DDR2 6400
samsung spinpoint 250 gig HD internal
maxtor 320 gig external HD
580W hiper SLI ready PSU
NZXT aluminium case with 5 fans, leds,lcd temp display, and clear window.
zalman flower heatsink

will be overclocking the RAM (from 800 to 1000mhz)
and overclocking the processor too, not sure by how much yet though.
What ya think

[rafael]

might wanna consider liquid cooling instead of runing 5 fans. also..why are you overclocking...do you use your pc to work? bcse if its just for games and messing around...overclocking will shorten your pc lifespan drastically if not done correctly. also which BIOS are you runing? i sure hope its phoenix or better with this set up u mentioned. another fact..the external drive will most likely show up as 125gigs. u see windowz can only recognize ntfs up to 125 if im not mistaken..it would be a good idea to format it to say fat32 so you wont have such issues.

[perfectbeast2001]

already running external under windows in NTFS and it is recognised no probs (320gig)
dont use for work just for fun. I wont be overclocking anything too seriously, certainly not enough to require water cooling. Using phoenix bios.

Im officially a nerd.

[donniebrasco]

just hijacking a bit, as you guys seem to know all the techno stuff.
is it possible to upgrade something on my pc so i end up with either an hdmi or dvi port. as i want to stream hidef stuff to my plasma.
thanks.
i thought my 570 gbs where gonna last, full with sh1t already.

[perfectbeast2001]

yes just by a graphics card with a DVI port.
You will need to find out which graphics card will fit by checking which is used by the motherboard, common ones are pci express (newest) AGP popular in systems of 3 yrs old and older. If it is really old it may not have any availble slots or may not support the addition of a new card.

[beuleux]

Wouldnt bother overclocking those specs are good enough. What bits you got going spare? I might make you an offer.

[perfectbeast2001]

i have an athlon 2400+ system at the mo. it is ok but not really up to playing the latest games ect. 80gig HD, ati 9600 graphics, 1 gig ram. pretty mediocre im afraid.

Similar to spec to mine, I was looking for a celron 1.8ish and some 2100 DDR to repair a mates PC thats been under my desk for months cos he is too tight to buy new bits, oh well it was worth asking.

You spot on with the PC loving fat kid analysis LOL. Counterstrike was my game of choice, or Baldurs Gate.
Im looking forward to being able to play some strategy games and stuff.

haha good old counter-strike, yes we have all been there done that. not a actual bad game, its funny, people laugh and call you a nerd, but at there house the got somthing like 50 hours and all 300 cars on grand turismo 3 haha or need for speed cmon, seriously im not ashamed of my love for computer games, its just sad everyone wants to play them and most people deny it!

warcraft 3 + expansion is all im playing right now, haha i love running arround with orcs killing people with my mates. my brother tried baldurs gate, i have played a few mmorpgs, and honestly once you play a few years, just cant stand it anymore. days of countless grinding strictly ment for early teens, i pitty the ones who do it for life.

[perfectbeast2001]

I think that medievil total war looks pretty good. might give that a go. Also that GTR racing game.

my mate got me a free cd key and copy, when he came to visit 2 months, i lasted a good 10 minutes on that game. its pretty tactical and interesting watching him play, but yeh, once you find a good solid game you like to play now and then its hard to sit down and learn to play a new game. but the gfx are great on that game watching people blow up and get hit by cannons, and elephants run over people and throw them i nthe air with there tusks, shit people run into other people and knock them down and stuff, really good game in that perspective. i just never good at choosing a decent army and i really dont want to learn another game haha, good luck with it.

[Psychotron]

Nice. I know the people are professional video game players, whenever the new shit comes out they get upgraded for free, some rediculous rigs they have.
