The goal was to be able to play most recent games on high settings on a playable frame rate (30+ fps)

Goal achieved as You can see on my Youtube channel

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=moHoGLOXIMk&feature=plcp&context=C49faf5cVDvjVQa1PpcFOSHmnUj5WIU7eumfhHAAgm-4VLDPlIAvU%3D

A pretty basic setup that features:

-ASRock N68-GS3 UCC
-AMD Athlon II x4 640 currently at 3.3Ghz
-2x 2GB Geil 1600 Ram sticks
-HIS Radeon HD 5670 1GB Iceq (waiting to be replaced with a 6850)
-450W Generic PSU
-Logitec LS21 2.1 Stereo Speaker System combined with a Sony RX50 stereo audio.
-Philips L96V 18,5 inch LED monitor
-CYBORG R.A.T.3 gaming mouse
-Cirkuit Planet Mickey Mouse DSY-KB821 wired USB keyboard :D
-HAMA Double Action AirGrip Gamepad (00062869)

The best part is that I was able to build this thing with a budged of less than 600$ :) Gotta love internet auctions :D

Apple sticker causing an obvious bottleneck.

How does that e9 sound?

ssjspawn

I'm really happy with the setup in general. Mids sound amazing, there's adequate bass..it's taken my whole audio experience to a new level. I'm really enjoying it. I also really liked the aesthetic of the e9 which was why I got it :D

This is my latest build. I'm going to use it as an HTPC, after I get a new entertainment center of course.

The Specs are, Intel Dual Core E5700, Zotac Nforce 610i-ITX board, 4 gigs of Kingston DDR2 800, 160 gb

Hitachi HDD (under the mobo), and a 250 watt ITX PSU. My only real problem is that that mobo doesn't

have a graphics card slot...I'm planning on getting a wireless mouse and keyboard and building the reciever

into an NES controller and then modding the controller ports to USB like I did on my first NES-PC.

Here's my setup:

stupid question but isnt the fan from the CPU cooler supposed to be facing the exhaust fan ?

MW2ismygame

That's how that cooler is mounted on AMD CPUs. Sorry didn't post the specs

[QUOTE="painguy1"]

Another friend is asking me for a build. Here is what i got. how is it?

Upgrade to a 6850 at least. This mobo is also a much better deal. The i3-2100 is more than enough for any casual-mid tier gamer if you wanna cut back even further.

Just me but I don't trust refurb HDDs. Refurb anything else is fine, but for HDDs I feel much safer with new ones.

yummy wires

1 rig isnt enough lol

athon 4050e 2.1 ghz dualcore emachines and e6600 core 2 duo dualcore might just go ahead and get a quadcore for that sometime i series intel cpus isnt like lightyears ahead around same price point.

8600 gts 256 mb + 8800 GT 512 mb which is dead now gonna wait untill kepler mirange cards get released buy one.

I won this thread most complete gaming set up LOL

All of these sli set ups look like clones of each other video cards become outdated too quickly to put that kinda money into sli ****

never cared about having fastest cpu either midrange is best.

most games can barely use dx 11 right. Dx 12 is a long time till it works

lol my case was 19$ the metal is very thin metal bends very easily lol so i didnt give a **** if it got all bent up.

this case will owns all these i can cut out the harddrive bay and still have part of the bay left so it doesnt block super long cards.

metal very thin easy to cut :)

this card wouldnt fit in my case unless i cut some of the harddrive bay out lol single slot 570 gtx.

my pc was once sli rig man i had case since 2004 sli's a **** waste of time.

plus i dont like cases where the psu on the bottom because u have to pull the wires up if psu is on the top of the case the wires easily hanging down lol.

psu on the bottom has one advantage psu isnt hanging putting stress on the case but i never had a psu come unscrewed and fall down so no big deal.

i dont really like psu on the bottom though.

Don't forget with the extra weight on the bottom of the case, it is more stable and less prone to tipping over.

specs in sig :)

How long should my current rig be good for?

• Intel Core 2 Duo E8500
• NVIDIA GTX 275 ( 1680 x 1050 resolution)
• Gigabyte EP45-UD3L ( Motherboard)
• Antec Earthwatts ATX 750W
• 4 GB RAM
• Windows Vista 32 bit
• Antec 900 gaming case ( 1 huge fan + 3 normal fans)

I know it's pretty old for a gaming rig (built in 2009). I manage about 30 FPS on medium in Battlefield 3, and usually about 40-50 FPS with everything maxed on any console game. As long as I can run games on medium or higher until 2014, I'll be happy
