Need some help! $900 budget

[Source]

35dBA isn't that high to be honest.

He ain't got CF so he is at a much lower Wattage.

Besides, the HX620 can throw 600Watt of the 12V line and another 176Watt of the 3V/5V.
That really is enough for 4850 in CF.

[kraifect]

Im getting lost with all these things you are talking about...

So is the HX620 good for a quad core, 9800 or a 8800 and the other parts...?

Yes it will be.
Why are you going 9800GTX on a P45 bord?
Better get yourself a HD4850.
Look at the recommendations plz.. 4/5 people says HD4850 and you get yourself a 9800GTX?

Read this:

Then this:

And just read in the VGA sector of this forum for 2minutes xD

[kraifect]

Well I was doing a review on the 4850 and I actually talked to someone on here I forgot who but they said the HD 4850 has heating problems and the fan only goes to like 16% unless you go do it manually or something in that matter.

Some reading stuff :P

So the motherboard and GPU combo is better than a seperate MB and nvidia GPU.

Ok , well im sure my parents will lay out some more for the rebates if I ask them when there in a good mood.

Also L777 you said I should get the intel core 2 duo E8400 thats actually not a bad idea, anyone have one of these?
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819115037 and the price isnt to bad either..

perk that asus motherboard you mentioned above how is that good/bad?
I was looking at the striker extreme but tha thing cost some big bux :P

I have an E8400 and it runs pretty slick I freaking hate this mobo tho no matter what do not buy a p5n-d Had to RMA 2 of em to get one with a working lan. I only bought the damn thing because it was the cheapest one i could find that would run Both PCI-e's at 16x in sli.

[adamsleath]

P 45 !

[kraifect]

Ok so im about to order the motherboard now that I just ordered my Antec.
Your 100% sure the Asus + HDRadeon4850 combo is a good deal :P ? Last minute decision.

[perkam]

If it takes you more than 3 pages to decide on a $900 rig, you:

A. Have no idea what you're doing. OR
B. Are doing this for fun. OR
C. Are making a HUGE list of different builds you can make for under $900 (why?) OR
D. Have already ordered from Dell and will let us know at the end of the 10th page.

Seriously, buy it already.

Thank you everyone for your help!

It is still page 5 (A)

...

But oke,
What did you bought?
And we want pics ofcourse of your build (H)
Some nice pictures are always good

[kraifect]

Intel Q6600
Antec 900
Rosewell 1000W PSU ( Hahaha jk I got 620W Corsair )
ASUS MB + 4850 Combo
500GB Segate HD
Pioneer DVDBurner/CDROM
Sunbeam 4 Port Rheobus Fan Controller

Already had monitor , keyboard/mouse, external HD, speakers, mousepad etc.

I will post pics once everything is essembled.
Since im new to this whole building thing I called up a computer store near me and I was like aye how much you guys charge to put a computer together if I have all the parts? And they were we charge 60 dollars an hour and it usually takes two hours.

I was like hell nah and hung up, so I guess I have to rely on myself to build this O_O.

[MikeB12]

anybody can build a pc... the trick is getting it to post...

[Source]

2 Hours.. those people really are some dumbf*cks
You can assemble a PC in <25 minutes + Another 10minutes for some nice cable management.
But yeah, if you start.. take it easy =]

Btw, you said you want to buy some other fans, didn't you?
Take a look at the Yate Loons: Click.
They go out for nothing but the price/value is sky high
(plus PTS is awesome.) (+ this is nice )

But it really ain't that hard.. building a PC.

- Get your Motherboard
-> Install your CPU and your CPU cooler on your motherboard.
--> Attach the CPU Coolers fan-connector to your motherboard.
---> Install you RAM on your Motherboard. Don't use to much pressure!

- Grab your Motherboard Guide
-> Check for 'Front Panel Connectors'
--> Attach all of the Front Panel Connectors (Power/Reset/Harddisk LED/Power LED/USB/FireWire etc.).

- Get your Case
-> Install you Power Supply in it.
--> Throw the cables in some 5,25" DVD slot so they aren't in the way for now.

- Install Motherboard in Case and Install the screws.. don't tighten them up right away.
-> Screw all the screws in loosely and then, when all 9(?) are in, tighten them up a little more.
--> Put the 24PIN Motherboard ATX Power connector in your Motherboard.
---> Put the 4PIN or 8PIN CPU connector from you Power Supply in the Motherboard.

- Install Harddisk in Harddisk cage or if no present, in a regular 3,5" slot.
-> Secure it with screws or Tool-less clips.
(Might want to do this before a VGA card, otherwise the VGA might be in the way.)

- Install the Graphics Card in the upper PCI-Expresse slot.
-> clip the PCI-bracket of the case on it.

- Install your DVD Burner in the 5,25" Slot and use the clips or use screws to secure it.

- Grab the cables of your Power Supply.
-> Put the 6PIN or 8PIN PCI-E connector in your VGA Card.
--> Put the SATA Connector in your Harddisk and DVD Burner.

- Now get your SATA Connectors our of your Motherboard box.
-> Connect them to your Harddisk and DVD Burner.
--> Connect the other ends to your Motherboard.

- Attach all your Fan Connectors to the motherboard or a Fan Controller.

- Fire the baby up and see if everything is g&#243;&#243;d (H)
-> Amen.

If i'm right, -already late- =], you got everything now

[kraifect]

The parts havent came yet, some parts I got free shipping so there going to take a while.
Such as my case, but thats coming on the 16th.

And, I forgot to order a CPU cooler O_O does the quad come with a stock one for now?

[Tonucci]

You must have liked the modular cabling idea alot lol seeing how much the 620W costs comparing with TX-750. When talking about modular units Corsair does not have very good value imo. Great quality but too expensive comparing with competing products.

[MikeB12]

It takes me 30 min just to unpack everything and cutout rebate upc's. before I even start assembling... then an hr assembling, depending on how meticulous I wanna be. sure you can throw it together in 20 min if you want, but that's not being careful and meticulous... it's not a race, take your time and do it right. especially your first time. you'll just break something OR get everything assembled only to find it doesn't post... nobody gets any prizes for a stopwatch assembly...

[kraifect]

Yeah im in no rush.
I just wish I had some friends that were knowledged in building computers so they can direct me and show me so I can learn a bit.

If you bougt a BOXED Q6600, it had a Stock cooler, yes.

If you bought OEM, you have no cooler in the package.
Also, OEM's have a year less warranty (atleast here in EU, OEM=2yr | BOXED=3yr)

[kraifect]

Yeah I bought it in the box.
