fush12 Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 Hey Guys, I need to buy a new computer but want to build one instead of buying one...If you guys could help me out here that would be awesome. Heres what I have in my computer so far that I plan on using: PROCESSOR: AMD Athlon 2700+ Sound Card Power Supply DVD-RW CD-RW Case I could use the hard drive I have in there but I recently ran out of room some how so was wondering if I did get a bigger hard drive would you beable to get stuff off of there? Im pretty sure thats about it that I will use in there. So this is what I am looking for: Motherboard: I am mainly just looking for something that I know is going to last a long time for me. As many PCI slots as I can get. Also want it to beable to hold about 2 gig memory Hard Drive: Probably a 160gb or 200gb hard drive Video Card: I want something really nice here...Something thats going to put out some great images and something great for games as well. Possibly something like this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16814241033 Memory: I would like atleast 1gb memory. If possible and not to much more than I would like 2 gb of memory. I want something with some power and runs fast and plays games and looks good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dagger147 Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 Why not have 2 hard drives? It would save you the hassle of transferring everything from one to the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fush12 Posted November 4, 2006 Author Share Posted November 4, 2006 good thinking..I will probably do that...I've never done nething like that before tho...How does that work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dagger147 Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 One of the hard drives would be the master, and the other would be the slave. It has to do with moving the jumper settings. Here's a link to a how-to article: http://www.ehow.com/how_6031_change-master...esignation.html Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brutushayesosu Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 I have one internal (250 Gb) and one external (160 GB) The external is for all my music and videos (and no, not porn). I got the external real cheap off of ebay. Just a suggestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeyMcM93 Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 You can't go wrong with an nVidia. The new GeForce 7950 looks great, but its pretty pricey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ngdot Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 That's not a link to a video card for one... Give me a price you'd prefer to spend on a video card, and I'll match you up with the appropriate card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fush12 Posted November 29, 2006 Author Share Posted November 29, 2006 i wonder why that didnt work...im looking to spend $100 maybe $150 for a video card Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezdriver Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 fush12: I don't know what your gaming needs are, but if you are looking for a great little card, I have a BFG 7900GT OC for sale (see link to BFG). http://www.bfgtech.com/7900GT_256_PCIX.html I bought it in April/May of this year and it's in excellent condition. Very fast and it will run just about anything out there. Only problem I see is that it might be out of your range as I'm selling it for $175.00. Just a thought, though. ez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
