I built a pc for my friend that cost 400 usd. plays all the latest games and apps maxed out. didnt include a monito,speakers, or keyboard+mouse though.
you could build a pretty good gaming rig. i just looked up prices from the site: e2200 2.2ghz dual core, 65 bucks
9800gt, 100 bucks
2gbs 800 ram, 25 bucks
case, 35 bucks
total 230
add a dvd burner and hard drive and mobo and psu and your good to go. shouldnt be more than 150 bucks andyou could have a gaming rig for 400 bucks total. try it.
I fell asleep in 1989, march 19. After being asleep for 3 days my parents consulted a doctor, they didnt know what was wrong with me. 20 years later, I have finally woken up. Tell me everything that I have missed.
[QUOTE="schatten789"]I need to upgrade my computer so that I can meet these requirements. I would like to get a little better then this but if not then that is ok. I would also like to keep the cost as low as I can. I am pretty sure I will have to replace my motherboard along with the cpu, ram, and video card. CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad 2.4GHz, AMD Phenom X3 2.1GHz RAM: 2.5 GB Video Card: 512MB NVIDIA 8600+ / 512MB ATI 3870+ What i currently have: CPU: AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 4000+ RAM: 2.7 GB Video Card: RADEON X850 XT Motherboard: Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe Thank you very much to who ever helps!! asus p5kplcm - 50 dollars. 2gbs 800 ram - 30 dollars 4670 512mb - 100 dollars q6600 2.4ghz quad - 200 dollars 400 dollar upgrade. will run everything you throw at it high settings
its a great buy. not joking. thats graphics card will still play todays games though. in the future upgrade to a 4670. plays all the latest games and will work with that power supply. id go it.
Hi, I have two rigs. please choose just one part from each rig that you would upgrade first. you dont have to tell me the part, its not necessary. even if the parts are adequate for todays gaming please just pick one that you would still upgrade first. thanks. Rig 1: e2200 2.2ghz 2gbs ddr800 9600gt 512mb Rig 2: e2180 2.0ghz 2gbs ddr667 ram 4670 512mb thanks a heap.
stream process are like your brain, the more of them the more brains you have, ie makes things run faster. core speed the the speed each stream processor can think the higher the faster it can think. But 120 at 400mzh is much better than 32 at 800mzh. Memory speed is the speed the memory operates at the faster the better. the bit affects how large the chunks of data can be sent across the bus. a 512bit can sent 4x as much as 128bit. The memory is used for storing textures etc so if it is to slow ir reduces performance as the processor has to wait to access the memory to store whatever it needs to. imprezawrx500
I need to know things like core and memory speed, gddr3 memory and ddr3 memory, 128-bit, 256-bit, and 512-bit, stream processors, and other things like that. why do they matter so much in cards. why is a 512mb 4670 better than a 512mb x1650 pro. thanks for any help.
