All of your computers are crap compared to mine (Epic Sarcasm)

200W PSU
nVidia MX440-SE
Intel Pentium 2.80Ghz
512MB Ram
37" HDTV Screen (1920x1080)
114GB IDE HDD
Trust 5.1 Surround Soundcard
Logitech Z-5500's

This computer is 6 years old :/ im surprised it still runs.

Quote from richukss :

I'm not quite sure that this is dubstep but imo this track is fooken awesome

You can tell it's dubstep by the "WUB WUB WUUUUUUB WUB WUBBBBBBBB"

Thank's for that

The CPU i found is pretty much exactly the same as yours although mine is Nehalem and the one you posted is Lynnfield, i don't think there's much of a difference though.

I found the case, although i find it a tad ugly because of those handle things but oh well, it's much cheaper then the Antec 902/1200 i was planning to get.

This is the board i found
MSI P55-GD80 P55 Socket 1156 G ... nel Audio ATX Motherboard
As far as i can tell it's the same board as the one that you posted.

I couldn't find any solid state drives that were 80GB, so i picked the closest i could find which was a 64GB one. Smart idea though, having a SSD for the main drive and then the 2TB drive for storage, i was just going to have both on the 2TB drive.

I couldn't find that many 5 series cards by ATI, i found more 4 series.
I'm not sure which to pick out of these two
Asus HD 4890 1GB GDDR5 Dual DVI HDTV Out PCI-E Graphics Card
Sapphire HD 5770 1GB GDDR5 Dua ... Port PCI-E Graphics Card

The 4890 is more expensive then the 5770 but i thought the 5770 being a higher number would be better?

And nope, not needing anything else besides the system itself, i'll be using my old monitor/mouse&keyboard/speakers with the new system as they're all rather good.

Thanks btw wasnt expecting someone to come in and pick most of the parts for me, was just expecting some advice haha.

Quote from Tomba(FIN) :

how to dance dubstep

Haha, i love that!
It's a bit weird to watch though.
Mind you some proper heavy dubstep in that <3

Gotta say im absolutely HOOKED on this song..
Mt Eden - Sierra Leone
And all the rest of the songs from that album.

Im finally getting a new computer but the problem is that my computer parts knowledge only goes so far so i need some help.
Im going to be building a high performance computer, used for gaming, work, music/video playing, rendering, photoshopping, video editing... bassicly quite a few things.

RAM:
What i do know about ram is that 4GB is sufficient enough but what i dont know is about DDR2 and DDR3, obviously DDR3 is going to be better but is it worth going for over DDR2? And also ive seen some DDR3 i5 modules that go up to 6GB, is it worth getting the 6GB even though 4GB is enough (i plan on keeping this PC for quite a while) or should i just go for 4GB?

CPU:
First thing id like to know is should i go for dual core or quad core? Im thinking quad core just because theres more cores but is it worth it?
Also theres this i7 and i5 crap, i7 i've heard of but i didnt realise there was i5 as well, is i5 any good? Also what kind of cpu speed should i be going for? Theres 2.66ghz i5, and then everything above that (2.8, 3.0, 3.2) are all i7's, which should i go for? Due to the fact i only have on core in my current computer i keep thinking that i should go for the 3.2ghz i7, but perhaps the fact that the cpu has multiple cores means it'd be fine on 2.8ghz or even 2.66ghz?

Graphics cards:
A friend of mine says that the 8/9 series of cards by Nvidia are much better then the GT/GTS/GTX200 range of cards. I find that a bit hard to believe though? Surely the newer cards would be better?
If i was to go for that range of cards then which would be the best to go for? As their are quite a few, the main ones seem to be the 220, 260, 275, 280, 285 but which one do i go for? There are so many of them :S.

Sound card:
All the sound cards i seem to find on the internet are all by Asus but i dont know if they're any good.
The only non Asus card is the Creative Xi-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty although that may be overkill?
I have the Logitech Z-5500's which are quite good but would they be good enough to use with that card? If not which card would be best? I tend to listen to music almost all of the time though.

PSU:
I have absolutely no clue here :/ What PSU would you recommend for this kind of setup?

I think thats about it :/
Im not too sure on what mobo to get but ill decide on that once ive got all the other parts chosen.
And for a harddrive im just going to get either a 1.5TB or a 2TB harddrive, and once they're filled ill just buy another one of exactly the same size and just raid them up.

If theres anything else you need to know then feel free to ask

Thanks

Edit: Oh i forgot to mention, budget is around £1000 although i'll be aiming to try and get a working machine for about £600 and then just upgrade to full spec after christmas.

Who is ur daddy and what does he do?

Made me lol.

Quote from zeugnimod :

What exactly is hard about just not reading the post when you see that it's from arox or putting him on your ignore list?

I don't get it.

Because im normally quite a nice person and i actually care about others, and quite a few people are being bugged by Arox, which bugs me.
At no point did i say ignoring him was hard. Im just saying itd be much better if he didn't post at all, or perhaps posted somethings that are rather funny.

Quote from zeugnimod :

Is it THAT hard to just ignore it if you don't like it? It's not like he is spamming a post with unfunny pictures every 5 minutes.

No but he's spamming the thread with unfunny pictures every 5 minutes.
Well maybe not that often, but he does it all the bloody time.

And yes it is hard to ignore it because it's just a pisstake.
Maybe he should just stop posting in this thread, or is it THAT hard for him to do that?

Whats easier, numerous different people ignoring his stupid posts or one idiot shutting up and not posting in this thread... i think you'll find its the latter.

Ffs!
A thread that used to be so great, and used to be so unbelivably funny is being ruined by Arox.

Arox just stfu and gtfo!
You're funny to a few people but not the majority!
To the rest of us its just plain annoying!

I've not met anyone famous

But my brother and his girlfriend did meet this guy in a club over here....

(It's the guy from the halifax adverts)

I see people signing up to google wave with msn accounts.
Does that work?
I thought youd need a google account?

Jersey is fine haha :P
Just extremely windy and wet, not been extremely floodish though.
Although i remember reading in a news paper that a road gave way and collapsed about a metre.
But besides that its not been too bad here, and i live directly accross from the beach.

Quote from Senninha25 :

that's nothing new.
Portugal is also first at school abandon rates, car accident fatalities, and the list goes on...first at the bad things, last at the good things.

Yeah but school over there is crazy tbh, well at least compared to english school, over there you'll be in school from like 9am-6 or 7pm.
Which i think is CRAZY.

I dont understand how my cousins cope with it :/

Quote from niall09 :

Oh yes, Portugal first haha.

Quote from Velociround :

Well, not really. Most Brazilians don't have that color. It's only a few that have, and they're called "negros" (or "negras" for women, in Portuguese). It's not racist by the way. It's just a name for the color of the skin: Branco (white) and Negro ("black", is that how you call it in english?). In some parts of the country there are more people with this skin color, but in all places I have lived here I there have been very few people with it. Almost all of my friends (women) where I currently live don't have that skin color.

But it should fit for a joke, though, because it seems everyone outside South America (or even just outside of Brazil) think all Brazilians have that skin color, specially women.

Preto(spelling?) is black.
Unless of course theres black as in colour and then black as in skin colour?
Im not too sure, my parents dont really tell me these things.

Wonder what she'd say about the comment you made about her blowing you off?

She'd love it haha.

Quote from DevilDare :

I think someone should show this thread, especially the last 2 pages or so to Migz ex.

She'd just read it like
And then agree with pretty much all of it haha.
But then shed think all of you who said she is cute/good looking were lying :/

Quote from rich uk :

it's mainly the fact that i don't understand this thread. I have had many g/f's but would feel very strange posting them here so everyone on the internet can fap fap fap

just my 2 cents. and umm 12k euros? isn't that minimum wage?

Thats because all your g/f's werent fap worthy
I joke i joke.

Whoah whaoh! I aint the bitch/woman!!
She tells, but then im the one who decides wether we do or not :P
But WHY would i say no?
I just wouldnt haha, so i just pretend shes the one who tells but im infact the one who decides :P

Quote from Dajmin :

You think she doesn't have MSN? Noob

Hell, I have enough of a job trying to stop one woman biting my head off (the one I've lived with for the past 8 years), the last thing I want is a second one asking me to do stuff too

Pffftt, your not allowd on MSN while in college haha :P At least not at her college.

And she doesnt ask to do stuff, she TELLS :P

Quote from Klutch :

Hers.

Yeah i really like how her hair was in that photo, the colour has grown out now though but i think shes planning on dying it again.

Quote from Dajmin :

She asked me to say hello

Not funny
Especially as i know shes at college right now :P
