Anyone know where i can find this parts in australia? i had a look at msy, they didn't seem to have them |
Can you buy from New Egg? (newegg.com) If not send me your favorite site and I'll see if I can find the equivalent.But really you can probably figure out the same. Look for a good box with expansion slots and a good (doesn't have to be the latest) CPU. Go to Tom's Hardware and he always has recommendations for the best value video cards. Don't ever buy the latest because they are always absurdly overpriced. If they are just one model older the price drops like a rock even though the performance difference is minimal. But the same thing as in the computer; look for the card with the most onboard memory rather than getting too hung up on the GPU.ALWAYS fill up with as much high speed ram as you can cram in. It's cheap and pays off big returns.Get a larger power supply, they're cheap anyway and that's about it. Most decent computers now have the makings of a good gamer once they have the power supply, ram and video card to give them serious video performance . |
i probably could buy it from new egg (or possibly not, i haven't checked), but i'd much prefer to purchase the parts locally.. the company with the best AU prices here is usually msy, and their parts list is in the pdf http://www.msy.com.au/Parts/PARTS.pdf btw, i really appreciate threads like this, i don't know why there is so much complaint when you are just trying to help people out |
Thank you, glad to help.
Love Australia, spent a month in Melbourne on an assignment to work with the NASA Airborne Observatory. Loved the people, their attitude just about everything with the exception of those awfully greasy bacon hoagies for breakfast at the Qantas maintenance facility. LOL Haven't you folks heard of cholesterol.
I'm looking over the parts list and will get back to you later when I've had time to digest it. I see some familiar things but some names and numbers are different. Be sure to get a reality check from someone local you can trust.By the by, do you want to build from scratch?
