shift October 15, 2008 Share shift Member October 15, 2008 Alright, two weeks ago my 6 year old Toshiba laptop died. I had been playing CSS on that for some time, but I guess it was time for me to get a new computer anyways. So I ordered parts today and they will hopefully arrive on Saturday. Once built, I will post pics of my new rig If you want you can take a look at what I have chosen: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16827151173 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16822136150 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16820104062 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16814130376 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16813138127 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16819115131 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16833127075 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16826153027 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16832116488 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16823114004 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16811156078 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16824116392 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16817139006 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZeroDamage October 15, 2008 Share ZeroDamage Member October 15, 2008 I do not recall you posting up a build thread to ask for input. I would have recommended against the biostar board, especially if you want it to last you a while. Biostar is good for a cheap build but their quality is only subpar. I would have recommended a different video card too but that is just my preference. I am leaning ATI for video card at this time. I also have a PSU and Video card up for sale that may have saved you some money (I am flexible on the pricing) and I think you would have ended up better for it. Everything else looks alright to me. If you haven't ordered already, then that is cool. Let us know and we can recommend some other stuff. If you already did order, no worries. WHat you have isn't horrible by any means but I am only saying it could have been better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZeroDamage October 15, 2008 Share ZeroDamage Member October 15, 2008 I built this computer a few months ago. I'm not really seeing a computer but I do see two monitors, a keyboard and mouse, and a Linksys router. I think you just wanted to show off your nice view.

WHat you have isn't horrible by any means but I am only saying it could have been better. I agree with ZeroDamage. Also If your dumping that much moola on a new system go ahead and super size that combo and get a 24" monitor over 22" or get 2 cheaper 22s. If you don't have the cash I recommend getting a cheaper CPU and bumping up your monitor. But that's just me. Also post up all the rebates you got back, Crucial said they mailed me my $30 rebate check 2 months ago but I haven't seen it. Not that I was really expecting it.
