I don't like the look of that Intel chip, but damned if you don't have a lot of ram and HDD space. (at least compared to me)

 

What?!? It's a core2 QUAD! That's basically 4, 2.4GHz processors in one. Do you not like screaming fast processors?

BTW, badass rig.



yea I think he has a Q6600, not to sure, in it.

Nice rig. Probably could have saved a touch building your own but still not to bad.

Yeah it said something about Q6600 but i didn't knew what it is so i left it out =P




Actually i thought about all these "not too bad" and changed my mind and build my own PC so i canceled my order completely, so all i ask (again, and i'm really sorry if i tired you) is what you think of it. Haven't placed the order yet though. I changed the GFX card with this one VGA NV GB 8800GTX 768MB PCIEX VO DVI, and the 2 x 1Gb 667Mhz ram to 3 x 1GB 1200MHz Ram. Also i found out it approximately costs 1200 euros so i think it's a better deal (from another shop now).

well sure, but for gaming, maybe not so much considering nobody is making any games built for quad-core. a lot of multi-tasking would take advantage of quad core sure but he's probable better off with a higher clocked core 2 duo.

but it doesn't matter, quad core is a very good thing to have.



its a nice computer.
Intel Code2Quad -> great!

So wait...you're buying from a shop still? Or are you building your own...I'm confused. You change your mind a lot.

I don't know what kind of online services there are in the UK, or Europe, wherever you are, but I almost always buy from Newegg.com...buy all separate parts, and then put them together myself...that's the cheapest route.

Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release.  (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )

Your PC looks good to me. I would check the power supply though when you get it. Sometimes PC's are sold with a good GPU but a weak power supply. You may need to install something with a bit more kick if you want to run a really intense game.

How much you paid for it? Depending on the cost, I'll tell you if it's good or not :P

The weak parts are the RAM: 667 Mhz, there are faster; and the videocards: try to get a 8800GT if you can afford it.

Yeah i guess i'll need some RAM, i already have 1 more GB but i don't know the speed, about the 8800GT though there's no way i can afford it as i also got a motorcycle =/


 Keep in mind that you will need a 64 bit OS to use more than 2GB of ram.



Yeah, I finally have a sig.
