So the pre built computer I bought from Costco was complete shit. I am pissed and out for vengence. I am looking for a computer that can run 3+ WoW Plus 3+ GB's at 30+ FPS anywhere anytime with decent ingame settings. Dosn't have to be at ultra, but now low. This computer would perferably be prebuilt becuase of my lack of knowledge in computers equaling my in abilty to build a computer. If have insight into any builds that fit my criteria I would be very happy. Budget: Some where under $1000 USD. I would like to leave some room to buy a decent screen. This computer can be bought in pieces and than assembled by someone like the geeksquad. Please try to fit my requirments, nothing like a super comp. All comments are appricated.
I asked for something like this and the comp turned out way better than i had hoped for. Check out this thread, last few pages are what you want. http://www.thebuddyforum.com/general-discussion-forum/12746-computer-build-wow.html With this build i was able to quad-box 4 WoW's at all Ultra/maxed out settings and none of the 4 dropped below 60 fps.
I don't know about US prices but I would say something like this will fit your needs easily at a reasonable cost: CPU: Intel Core i5 760 2.93GHz overclocked to 4.00GHz Motherboard: Gigabyte P55-USB3 Intel P55 (Socket 1156) DDR3 Motherboard RAM: Corsair XMS3 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit Hard Drive: Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 500GB SATA-II 16MB Cache Graphics Card: MSI Cyclone GeForce GTX 460 1024MB GDDR5 Power Supply: Corsair CX 600W Case: Fractal Design R3 Regards, Nick.
1) I didn't check the CPU/Memory during the quad-boxing and i won't be able to cause one of them is outa time. However, i was not experiencing any lag or delay what so ever and even during fights my fps never dropped below 60. 2) With the case i linked in the build my comp stays very cool and if i put my hand behind the comp or near any vent after a night of farming its hardly warm air. 3) I didn't personally put it together, i had a local computer store put it together, for 100$ he put all the parts i posted together, he took the DvD player/Hard drive from my old comp and put in my new one, he also put Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, etc) Adobe, and Win7 Ultimate on it. 4) Answered in #3 ^^ 5) I just have the HP flatscreen that came with my old comp, works fine.
Ok, last couple of questions. 1. How much was it for all of that + shipping. 2. It seems that the CPU, Video Card, and PSU are deacitivated. Any work around for that. 3. It also seems that the PSU does not have a cable with it, what cable did you use? 4. What store would you recomend I bring it to? 5. How much will it cost to get Windows 7 64 Bit operation system?
Also I am building this computer from the groud up, does the build you gave me have everything I need to have a fully operational computer? EDIT: Which Video card did you end up going with? Video Card - Amazon.com: Sapphire Radeon HD 6850 1 GB GDDR5 VGA/DL-DVI-I/SL-DVI-D/HDMI/Display Port PCI-Express Video Card 100315L: Electronics Video Card - Newegg.com - Palit NE5TX460FHD79 GeForce GTX 460 (Fermi) 768MB 192-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card
1) Most of the stuff came with free shipping, it was $398.14 for for Case,PSU,CPU,Ram, and Motherboard. The video card was from Amazon, which was doing a free shipping special thing + i had like 15$ left on a gift card so i put that towards it. 2) Sorry i don't know much about computers i didn't select the parts myself, i had people post a build for me. 3) I used the PSU cable from my old computer, i'm pretty sure all the cables are the same. 4) I would ask around and see how much they charge to assemble a computer. 5) Just google it, he put all the stuff i previously said on for $100.
No the build lacks a Hard Drive, and if you want one, a DvD player dock thing (the thing you put CD's in to install something, one of these that can play a dvD).
I am a bit confused on what build you used. In your lost post you talked about your video card being from Amazon. I am looking at your old post, and I see that you had to different build toward the end.

Also for a dvd/cd drive that can write disk. If I am asking to much I understand. Thanks for all the help. ***
Sorry yeah linked the wrong build >.<, go with build 2 and you'll need a hard drive (you said you bought a costco comp, if you wish you can use that HD, you can prolly also use the costco's PSU cord, and a thing to put CD's/DvD's in, those CD tray things.
I am returning the costco computer. So I will need a new Hard drive and disk drive. As for the power cord, the PSU in the 2nd build comes with one. 3 things 1. Can you sugest a good Hard drive or even the one you have 2. Can you sugest a decent disk drive 3. The Newegg.com - AMD Phenom II X4 925 Deneb 2.8GHz 4 x 512KB L2 Cache 6MB L3 Cache Socket AM3 95W Quad-Core Processor HDX925WFGIBOX is either out of stock or deativated so is Amazon.com: Phenom II X4 965 Black AM3 3.4Ghz 512KB 45NM 125W 4000MHZ: Electronics good? It is $160.
I believe that CPU should be fine, but i honestly don't know 100%. I don't know what good computer parts are so i guess from this point on i can't really help.
Alright well in that case I will go with CPU - Newegg.com - AMD Phenom II X4 925 Deneb 2.8GHz 4 x 512KB L2 Cache 6MB L3 Cache Socket AM3 95W Quad-Core Processor HDX925WFGIBOX Video Card - Amazon.com: Sapphire Radeon HD 6850 1 GB GDDR5 VGA/DL-DVI-I/SL-DVI-D/HDMI/Display Port PCI-Express Video Card 100315L: Electronics RAM - Newegg.com - G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10600) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model F3-10600CL9D-4GBNT Motherboard - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813138179 PSU - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817171054 Case - Newegg.com - COOLER MASTER Elite 310 RC-310-RWN1-GP Black / Red SECC ATX Mid Tower Computer Case If there is anyone who can provide a good hard drive and disk drive to complete this build. Also still looking for some one that can tell me if Amazon.com: Phenom II X4 965 Black AM3 3.4Ghz 512KB 45NM 125W 4000MHZ: Electronics and Newegg.com - AMD Phenom II X4 925 Deneb 2.8GHz 4 x 512KB L2 Cache 6MB L3 Cache Socket AM3 95W Quad-Core Processor HDX925WFGIBOX are about the same. All comments and insight greatly appricated.
To start the processors are about the same, go with the cheaper one. Now for hard drives, I would recommend Newegg.com - Western Digital VelociRaptor WD3000HLFS 300GB 10000 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive. The reason I recommend this is simply because its the next best thing to an SSD, you get the Storage of a hard drive, but the quickness of an SSD with the price of an hard drive. As for the disk drive, if you're looking for Blu-ray i'd say Newegg.com - LITE-ON Black 8X BD-ROM 16X DVD-ROM 48X CD-ROM SATA Internal Blu-ray Disc Combo Model iHES208-08 LightScribe Support, if thats not the case though go with something like Newegg.com - LITE-ON Black 24X DVD+R 8X DVD+RW 8X DVD+R DL 24X DVD-R 6X DVD-RW 12X DVD-RAM 16X DVD-ROM 48X CD-R 32X CD-RW 48X CD-ROM 2MB Cache SATA CD/DVD Burner - Bulk - CD / DVD Burners.
