I just bought myself a new computer. Getting tired of this Athlon 64 3800+ I'm running on now. It will be here tomorrow I'm excited! Before anyone bashes me for getting an AMD over the Core 2 Duo, I did my research and found that the 6000+ is barely behind the E6600 and even surpasses it in some tests and for only $239 you cant beat it. Just couldn't justify the extra $80 for a E6600 when I could have just as good for less $$. ended up with $918.63 out the door and thats not including the $80 im getting in rebates. I think I did pretty good for what I got, what you think?
Here is a list of parts:

 

what's the L2 cache and the FSB for the CPU?

 

L2 Cache: 2 x 1MB

 

FSB is 2000mhz, that is with HT

 

Sure...but, I think you did terrible by posting this in the wrong forum. There's a computer talk subforum, you know.

 

What's your video card gonna be? I just finally upgraded my 7 year old desktop (1.2 ghz PIII) to a DFI Lanparty NF4 mobo, athlon 64 3200+ (to be upgraded to an x2 processor), 1 GB of RAM for $150 off ebay (used). A pretty good, relatively inexpensive upgrade.

 

Looks like you got off pretty good by not spending money on one of the most expensive things. (vid card.)

 

Yea I want a new video card but dont really need one, I have a 7300gt 512mb that playes counter strike source perfectly fine on high settings so for now im just gonna stick with that until the dx10 cards come down in price.

 

:nerd:

 

so now im pissed because everything but the case got here today so i cant install anything until that gets here... talk about torture. end rant

 

I recently got an email from Newegg congratulating me on being a "regular customer" since their founding. I'm an official dork I guess

 

 

They give you any good coupons? haha you think your a dork total with newegg I have spent $6167.31... newegg owns me

 

My shipments are always the exact opposite. The case always ships from CA about 50 miles from me and comes the next day (doesn't matter what shipping method) and the rest of the parts take a couple days while they make their way from NJ.

 

Yea it came from cali, but im in kansas so the rest of the parts shipped from TN which is a lot closer to me than cali... I also found it weird that ups shipped it up to Canada from cali then to Iowa? that seems weird to me that it would cross the border? am I wrong?

 

Samsung Drive is a POS IMHO, only drives to go with are Pioneer, Sony and LiteOn. And the MOBO i would have went ASUS, i've built well over 10 machines with ASUS MOBO's and have never had anything near a glitch or problem with them, their definatly worth every penny. I don't mean to rain on your parade that's just the components i would have used. Since highschool i have built PC's for my friends going to college/university and i offer 100% technical support/warranty on the components I use and build quality, and to this day i haven't gotten 1 call (oldest service machine is near 6 Yr/old), that's why i trust ASUS MOBO's and WD hard drives, be it AMD or Intel the ASUS boards always are on top.

 

I would agree with you on ASUS but I have worked with this board in the past and loved it... I couldnt find an ASUS mobo that was worth the price and had 590. It had good reviews and like I said I installed this same mobo on a computer I built for someone and they have had no problems at all so I thought Id give it a shot. Hadnt heard anything bad about samsung... they are a good company in my mind and it was on sale so i got it... now im worried, I hope it doesnt fail on me. BTW WD hard drives are the only ones I have had fail I have never had a maxtor or seagate fail on me... I prefer segate.

Nice rig and all but you should kick off a couple of those bookmark bars there for efficient space of internet surfing...but if you have a large monitor then its all good.
