I'm not planning on adding another card for some time. I think I'll be content with it for another 2 years. I don't have to be on max settings all the time, there's always medium.

After 2 years, the GTX 690 might become a better option as the price goes down.

Does anyone here know anything about bundles?

Is the fan already fitted on this with thermal paste?And is teh fan and mobo good?I mean this is on sale for 293£ its so tempting.

GamerwillzPS

Yes, the thermal paste should already be applied since the bundle is "pre-built" which I would assume that the CPU, cooling fan and RAM are already installed.

This is just personal opinion & preference, I would go for an Asus motherboard. I was having trouble with Gigabyte before. But maybe it was an unlucky motherboard. It's your call. Your choice.

Not sure about the cooling fan. I have a Corsair A50 and it keeps my CPU in good temperatures. The heatsink is bigger than yours, so I don't think it'll be as good as mine, but it will do the job.

I'd like to point out that the CPU is Sandy Bridge which is an older technology. Ivy Bridge is the latest. But if that's what you want, go for it! It's still good.

Still waiting for that answer Mr. Stevo:)

I remember a few days ago I made a thread about the halo 4 addiction rewards article on gamespot.That thread got deleted one second after :?free_milk

Deleted or locked? No admin/mod will be fast enough to delete it a second after (I understand that you are likely exaggerating). It may have been a misunderstanding and seen as advertising.

True. There'll be a good-value card, maybe a GTX 770, that has an attractive price tag with plenty, plenty of power. I'd go for that.

For the 600 series, the GTX 670 is a good-value card for those who are looking for low price with good beef under the bonnet.

Yeah, that CPU cooler is decent.

Stock coolers are fine for stock CPUs. For overclocked CPUs, it's highly recommended to use a better cooler. I don't overclock too, but I like my CPU cool. It improves the CPU life expectancy. Less heat, the better!

It was a thread. it had the qoutes to the gamespot article and stuff.If mods thought it was advertising then I would have had a suspension.It wasnt locked it just dissapeared :? same with my post on page 177.After the post where I said im getting my budget tomorow.

free_milk

A suspension is a guarantee for advertising. AFAIK, at least. Especially if you are a consistent user.

Did your posts break any forum rules?

You should take this to the Modification Clarification Station. They can see, and clear it up for you.

If it continues I will have to do that.Thing is I have no evidence.free_milk

No evidence necessary. They can see all modifications to posts and threads, regardless of if they were user or mod/admin deleted AFAIK.

Just use the anti-static wristband and clip it to your case when building. If you have carpet in the area where you're building your PC, I'd put something on the floor for your feet, such as a wooden board. That's what I did with mine. Better to be safe than sorry. Keep touching your case or any other metal object to keep yourself grounded to be sure.

Rocker6 said that anti-static wristbands are a waste of money, but I'd suggest you not to listen to him. It's actually a good idea to use them.

As for thermal paste, just put a pea-sized of stuff on the CPU and then put the cooler on top of it and lock in place.

Yeah, you're right, I take it back. It's his first time doing it, and since he sounds concerned, it's advisable to get one...

Also, judging by your posts, you've really done your homework when it comes to PC building. Very nice, though you should keep elitist behavior and comments in check. They won't make you many friends, that's for sure...

[QUOTE="jeffster85"][QUOTE="jeffster85"] i hope they delete this one too :twisted:free_milk

if you're uncertain about the paste, just watch a youtube video. its really not difficult. virtually impossible to mess up. as far as ESD, where you build it, make sure its a hard floor (not carpeted). and maintain contact with the chassis(metal part of the case). that will ensure there is no static buildup.

Im not Im just afraid of accidently messing up when buidling.I cant waste all that money.I think I will get somone to build it for me but still.How can ESD be prevented if clothes give static electricity?free_milk

Well you aren't going around zapping everything you touch are you? You're just getting paranoid.

I spent my life savings of $400 to build my first computer when I was 15. The only precaution I took was taking off my socks, and building it in my kitchen which had tile flooring.

Ever since then I'd say 99% of the time I go to do anything inside my computer I'll just take it apart in my room, and rest the computer on my carpet as I sit down to work on it. I've even, at times, rested my computer parts straight onto carpet if there's no other place to put them. Sometimes I've even had the insides of my computer sprawled out all over my desk while the computer is in use.

Not saying you should do any of that stuff, but I am just saying you're paranoid.:P

Every case has some metal on it, the backside, the interior, the side panels, you'll find something...

Now my only problems are.

My pets

I dont even know if I have enough for a pci adapter.Wired is fine but my pets are always running around if my computer is on top they could run into the wire and make my rig fall down. :(

Cable management is quite easy if you take the time to tidy them up, such as putting them behind your desk or something so there would be no wires in front of your desk. There must be a way around this, you know.

[QUOTE="free_milk"][QUOTE="jeffster85"] when you're building it, you can put them in a bathroom or something for a short amount of time. or do you mean afterwards? if so, then try and put it on a desk with a side/back to it so it won't fall.Rocker6
