Ultimate gamimg PC... spec suggestions?

[MAXIMILIAN]

does anyone know?

My mistake, I forgot to change the DDR... I will be gettting DDR1.

And the 4x512 is cheaper than the 2x1024, so I'm going for the cheaper option.

 

[boomstick666]

but 2x 1g runs faster..right? and its like 15 bucks difference.

 

[bigtrain.]

Yes thats true... the price is a bit more inflated here in Aus though, it's more than $15 difference... also there isn't any RAM that I can get in 2gb that's DDR1 that is less costly than the one I suggested. In any case, the speed won't be noticable.

As for the CPU I've had another idea. What do you guys think about: http://www.techbuy.com.au/products/..._Opteron_170_Processor_Socket_939_-_Boxed.asp

Will it be better value than the 4200?

techbuy is expensive. look in www.scorptec.com.au www.itech.com.au and www.msy.com.au you'll save a fair bit

 

[BstOnTheBrain]

Haha i like how the title is "Ultimate Gaming computer"..its hardly "Ultimate"

 

[bigtrain.]

Zer4tyr, since that post I have bought lots of other things using staticice.com.au so I've more or less found the best prices for NSW.

BstOnTheBrain, this is an ultimate gaming PC for the price range it is in. What other suggestions do you have?
