CPU Build for ricicia

[DamageINC]

Hey dude.. Are you still wanting to build a cpu? If so i would be happy to help you put together a budget build if you would like. List for me your max budget,and any hardware/software you might already have such as an operating system , hard drive etc. Also list what you want to use the cpu for from most important to least important. Thanks.

BTW 500 is probably the lowest i could go on finding any sort of decent gaming build.

 

[Ricica]

umm just do a five hundred one thats fine.
i want a fast cpu and at least 4gbs of ram
i have windows 7 vista and xp so no worries there
i have a small external hard drive about 250 i want a 500 or so
personally the graphics card i not so worried about just the minimum
i have monitors old but they will work i have a splitter if you get a higher end card or idea of it
cd reader is good
all i need is cpu motherboard hard drive and graphics card the other stuff like tv on my computer i woudnt mind a sujestion but not a priority right now
thanks for all the help man ;D

i just been thinking of upgrading my every day pc to something a bit better

 

[McFoe]

how much do those water cooling systems cost?

depends really on what you wanna water cool

 

[Ricica]

i heard those are not really worth it. cause if you brake a line you could flood your case then everything is ruined

Wow really? Not a great protection then.

Yea I agree, even if you use pure water it will not have the conductivity but still a huge mess and possibly ruining expensive components, so this is the reason why I use air cooling in mine and probably always will

 

[Freeze]

You guys have high tech pcs and stuff and I still have my loud zooming Xp profesional from 2005 hahahaha

 

[Ricica]

lol ha mines any better but better than that lol. sorry i tried to make you feel better

if it wont conduct then there nothing it can really do to damage any of the parts inside. worst thing that could happen is you have to leave it for while to dry out and then your back up and running again.

im sure most if not all of you have seen my gaming machine i done and thats never once leaked and ok its a little bit hard to look after than an air cooled machine but its only a case of checking water and quick blow out of the case to remove any dust that could be in there (takes me about 5 mins max a month)

looks ok fella. would change the motherboard for one with out the on video tho so you get more usb ports and dual lan etc. plus could save some hassle later on

not a fan of the ram make but its got good latency times

The difference was 2$ between the ddr2 and ddr3 but of course i prob picked an expensive ddr2 and a cheaper ddr3 but it works out.. Also the ddr3 has a 20$ rebate
