New System!!!!

Post by Sniper62 »

im finally building a new one also

AMD X2 6000+ 3.0ghz
Gigabyte GA-MA69GM-S2H
2 GB Corsair DDR2 6400

im not sure about the vid card yet cause i missed out on the good deal for a 8800GTS so maybe ill go for a 8600 idk yet


but i did have one question. the MB is a "Micro ATX" board, so does that mean im not guna be able to put it into a normal ATX case?? the ppl where i got it said i would be able to but i dont trust them.


IM GUNA BE FLYING AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!! W00T!!! :P

Sounds sweet...now get ingame!


J/K...looking forward to the day!

btw: what you have so far sounds great...don't save on the Ram if you have the cash...it's more important for this game than the G-Card, although that said..the 8800 kicks ass!

Using a 7900 Gs thanks to a good friend and the game runs great!

Sniper it'll fit. You'll get standoffs for the board where there are not screw connections. Don't worry, you'll be able to tell where things go when you see it. If you're worried about it just post pics and reddog or I can help you with it.

sweet, ill have to go out this weekend and look for a case. im trying to cut the cost on the shiping from the states. i had it all in the cart in newegg and shipping woulda been over $100 so im tryin to get as much over here.

im havin a tough time trying to figure out what to do about the monitors tho. had one picked out on newegg a Acer 19" widescreen for $179 but that and the case are the big shipping costs. so im not sure wether to go out here and buy a more expensive Samsung or LG or buy a cheapo korea brand......

Thats the one I got Sniper, the Acer 19" widescreen 16:10. The natural resolution is 1440 x 900, but the game looks weird with that setting, all the circles are egg shape, I have to run the game at 1152 x 856.

Not to mention that I had to manually set the natural resolution as a override within the G-force control panel.

yes and no. i only ordered 4 things online, CD/DVD drive, RAM, g15 keyboard, and HD.

i got the Corsair 2 GB RAM online because.... well they just dont have corsair here. the lady i got the other stuff at tryed to sell me some korea brand, but i just wasnt having that. like main said RAM is important and i am not guna risk it lol plus i got a $30 mail in rebate with that. the g15 keyboard also, i got a $20 mail in rebate on that, and even without the rebate they are charging way more over here. the CD/DVD drive, well no1 has the combo here that i could find, just CD or DVD. the HD well i just got that one online cuz i wanted somthing brand new, i supose i coulda got it over here but they wanted more for the same thing....and i was also worried about getting korea stuff, for all i know the MB BIOS is guna be all in korean lol

idk it all should be here within the next week and a half...

rgr that main thnx

btw guys what is a pretty normal price for a 19" monitor? maybe i can bargen these guys down from thier $279 prices
