i don't know if you want a 16ms response time, you'll get urself some ghosting in games, go for something with 8ms response
you sure about that? I doubt it, let's see the benchmark comparisons when I get this up and running.Frank Jaeger said:Wow, that's alot of $$$ to blow on a computer. I spent less than a grand on my computer (including the display) and it does just about everything yours will.....LoL.
Not exactly, this is for gaming, I was only suggesting that jaeger do some comparisons with me, since he thinks a computer for under $1000 w/monitor matches up to one for almost $3500 w/o monitorPZEROFGH said:So you bought your computer just so you can do benchmarks...:amazed:
I don't get you people, do you not read the entire thread, I'm buying this and keeping it updated at every significant performance increase, this is not to say I will buy every new processor, etc. I'm saying every jump of 30-40% performance I'll upgrade to.adam02 said:Honestly as cool as a computer is having spent thousands on it, its will become outdated very quick as technology moves so fast, a computer in 2 years at a cheaper price will whopp it. Im sayin you should get a very nice build, but not overkill, you know? I think that money could be spent more responsibly.
Give yourself 2,000 dollars for a comp, and it will be very nice.
See though, that would make sense if I didn't care about upgrading in the relatively far future, the base components for this will suffice for almost any hardware for a long, long time.Beefcake said:Well since you have the money I would go with something that will last a while, a 600W+ PSU a good LCD monitor and some Raptor HDD since you have the money. Those things will last a while, but new GPUs and CPUs come out often. I say get a 3800+ and a X1900 XT then save money for when the next generation of hardware comes out you will have the money for it. With the money you have saved you could get a R600/G80 when they come out, a new CPU, and a PPU.
But you might have to update your motherboard and RAM, so I say get a MSI Neo4-f AMD motherboard and 2GB of RAM and when the time comes get a Conroe motherboard (along with the CPU of course) and DDR2 RAM. You also should save up money and get Vista when it comes out.
Basically the things that will last you a while will be the PSU, HDDs, the case, and a good monitor. So getting a PCP&C PSU 1KW (850W costs almost as much as the 1KW), Raptor HDD(s), and an LCD with high resolutions (which will really pay off once you get a G80 or R600 as they will probably play games like BF2 at really high resolutions easilly).
