Why not cheap out a little on the processor and get a 5850? Way better than a 5770.

I chose the 965 because higher clock speed is better than more cores for gaming.
And i can OC a lot more because all the cores are unlocked (but iam not going too).

5850 is almost double the 5770.
Waiting for it to drop a bit :)

windows 7 is the shit. Installed all my drivers n shit for me. Didnt even have to format

I considered this too, but I took the x6 because this would be more "futureproof"

And the OC capability of the x6 is pretty solid too.

+1

The next card up on 5770 is double the price, I'd have to cut a LOT to afford the 5850, eg. case, aftermarket heatsink, smaller HD, weaker PSU

Rather upgrade the video card later on when I need it.

Can't wait! Now to decide on a new game, getting bored of L4D2/the community for this game is dying.

bad company 2.
Iam the one who made the thread on revscene and can't even run it lol.
NOW i can

Performance is also doubled as well, which makes it a steal.

Hi guys
I have decided to build a new set up. Could you guys give me some feedback?

Total before MIR and taxes= $ $397.34

Is there anyway I can reduce the cost? Is getting a motherboard with on board graphics and then using a separate video card fine? Will staying with DDR2 be fine or should I go DDR3?

Thanks in Advance

where do u guys download / get your OS?

says DDR2 on your mobo?

Yeah I'm planning on going DDR2, but I am not 100% sure yet.

Are you planning on gaming?
If so, I'd suggest paying the extra $40-50 to get the 5770.

Otherwise your build is already pretty barebone and can't cut much. Maybe get a hitachi deskstar HDD so you can get more storage space for the same price.

i took the hit and paid 10 more for a mobo and 10 more for ddr3 ram its worth it IMO.
Don't cheap out and in the future your like FUUUUUUU can't upgrade

yeah I will be gaming. I looked at benchmarks and 5770 is only better than 5750 by 7-10 fps.. I don't know if I want to pay like $30 more for it.

Yeah.. I am kind of thinking of getting DDR3 since DDR2 prices now are messed up anyways. How does DDR3 feel compared to DDR2? Like can you tell any differences?

I downloaded mine through MSDNAA. Sucks now that the terms over I can't access the site anymore, I lost my win7 64bit cdkey :(

Had my order placed, price matched approved and product order verified (all items in stock) on the 26th.

Site says 1-3 business days to have the parts ready.
NCIX richmond is open saturday and sunday, but those two days don't count as business days though right.

you should of just went to ncix and price matched on the spot.

Just out of curiosity, what do you guys think of this build I just came up with? My budget is $1000 with monitor included.

A little over $1000 after environmental fees.

How much was monitor? Would've went with a higher resolution monitor, the 5770 can handle 1920x1280


And since you have 1100 budget and it's still under that budget, upgrade to the x4 955/965, great for oc'ing, will give you great gaming performance.

iam using 965 and running everything smooth as a babys bum. With no OC

oh get a heatsink 2 or your com will be loud as fuck

How does price matching at ncix work? Just ask one of the employees you want to price match, and show them the site?

yessir.
