First Gaming PC Build 2010

[TheCodDoctor]

love it but your cable management sux azz srry ;(

[williamsplace01]

windows 7 hp can only support up to16gb of ram

[exoticg9]

is a single radeon HD 5870 nice to play ? im getting one

[hikmaet]

how much did it cost? only pc excluding the accesoiries

[XxMATMADxX]

@M4Multi Thats not going to work. You got a intel socket board, with a 1156 socket. It does not support the AMD cpu. You need a mobo with a AM3 socket and that will support your AMD cpu. And just to let i know most off the AM3 mobo only have dual channel for memory. so make sure to buy dual channel. you can buy up to two dual channel so that's 4 sticks of ram. You have to make sure that every thing is compatible and supports your hardware. don't just put random things together. hope this helped

[MTGNoobma]

BIg tower small monitor. Compensating?

[XxMATMADxX]

@MTGNoobma i got a new monitor. the one in the video has just temporarily. i know got a lcd asus 23.6"

[timendil]

how much money did you spend on this build (excluding mouse keyboard etc.) ?

[dexter1423532]

I have a question..

If my memory is ddr2, does that mean i have to get a ddr2 video card?? :S

(im like really confused right nooow)

[Morganhesketh]

@dexter1423532 nope mate, u can get any video card, its just the CPU u need to get thats DDR2 if ur gunno get a new cpu, graphics cards are fine im running a ddr2 cpu and i got a ddr3 gpu.

[MrAirsoftgreg]

@dexter1423532 No. 

[XxMATMADxX]

@dexter1423532 nope i got DDR3 Ram and GDDR5 video card

[ndogg360]

@dexter1423532

No. Any video card works with any ram. They arnt linked at all.

Just make sure you motherboard supports it. Ie, for a PCIe video card, you need a PCIe motherboard, and make sure you power supply has enough power to power the card.

[shortass11234]

why is it alot of people are still using those ugly assed dell monitors, cmon if ure gonna spend that much on a pc, then atleast invest in a better display to go with that hardware

[XxMATMADxX]

@shortass11234 i got a new monitor. the dell was just temporary. i got a new lcd asus 23.6"

[deathbox731]

@shortass11234 mine's a dell 21.5 '' whatts wrong with that 

[shortass11234]

@deathbox731 its not th make i have a problem with mate its the screen size, if you were gonna spend upwards £1000 on a pc i just think you would invest in a decent quality 16.9 widescreen or maybe a hd screen if you have the g-card

[TheJTKillers]

why doesnt anyone one use i7 CPU's in there gaming rig videos?

[Bvzijverden]

@TheJTKillers Cause i5 has a better price/performance ratio and gamer are often cheezy ( me included ;P ) so that why they choose i5 

[codeShima]

@TheJTKillers Because i7 doesnt give you anything better than i5 for gaming just better for apps

[andrewisflyyy]

@codeShima Thats not true the i7 gives you Hyperthreding wich gives you virtual cores AND makes your computer much faster but it is a shitload omore money so if i where anyone who is looking to build a GREAT gaming PC for a good price and wants POWER go with AMD Processors because there cheeper and that gives you more money to buy better case mother board hardrives power supplys graphics cards and cool mods like cold cathoids so try out an amd phenom 2 x6 its a 6 core not a quad like an i5/i7.

[MrTerminator68]

@andrewisflyyy dude i5 and the i7 (1156 Version) doesn't have hyperthreading and mobos are actually cheaper than average am3 boards. and i5 is cheaper than any x6 amd processor.

[andrewisflyyy]

@MrTerminator68 ok well fuck the hyperthreading amd x6 is still cheaper then i5 and you can get a motherboard that is simmular to one the i5 takes for cheaper

[imnoobish]

hello~im thinking bout building one too, this will b my first time building a comp so can someone check to c if i have all the rite stuff? CPU: intel core i5 750 MB: EVGA P55 FTW 200 motherboard RAM: corsair xMS3 4GB Dual Channel DDR3 RAM Hard drive: Western Digital Caviar Black 500GB DVD Burner: ASUS DRW-24B1ST DVD burner Case: Cooler Master HAF 922M ATX mid-tower Power Supply: Cooler Master RS650-ACAAE3 GX Series Vid card: Radeon HD 5850 network card: (i duno yet) m i missing anything else?

[rocknroll980]

Wow nice video card ati radeon 870

[rocknroll980]

dude you shoulda got a 965 black ed.

[FragOutxX]

@rocknroll980 an extra 20 bucks for 200mhz?

[ndogg360]

@rocknroll980

theres no difference between the 955 be and the 965 be other then the fact that the 965 is overclocked. Thats all. The extra 20 isnt worth it. The only reason i have a 965 is coz for some reason when i ordered my 955, they gave me the 965.

[wmjs2andfriends]

for two ati cards do you need to link via crossfire?

[MattWarrenWilson]

get some SSDs

[Legoman0323]

boo ATI!! THUMBS DOWN!

[ndogg360]

@Legoman0323

ati is better then nvidia. Thats not opinion its fact.

[ndogg360]

@ndogg360

not saying nvidia is bad. But you cant beat ati when they use less power, adopt newer technology sooner and cost far less.

[rocknroll980]

@ndogg360 ATI is better than nvidia in terms of cost and quality, most ATI radeon HD cards are great cards, you cant be too sure with nvidia, plus NVidia is expensive.

[Legoman0323]

@ndogg360 hahahahhaahahaha you almost got me there bahahahaha, ati cards fail, besides they dont except lower wattage, nvidia cards, if it says minumum 550 wat, it will except a 350, sooo ya i tried it with ati and ummmmm NOTHING, sooo ya fuck ati :P

[ndogg360]

@Legoman0323

so what your tryna tell me is that you got one bad ati card, then decided you hate them? Typical Nvidia fanboy much?

[blueovalfan23]

@Legoman0323 while i don't have high end stuff, i do have an agp 2600pro hd 256 mb. it's mated with a p4 3.0 and 2 gig of ddr1. i also have a dell with the same cpu, 2 gig of ddr2 and a 7600gs pci-e. the ati card is hands down the better card. from what i've seen on passmark, the nvidea is supposed to be better. it isn't true though. ati is much better. it seems to be a pattern in my experiences. the nvidea cards i have had have been over rated and the ati cards have been the "solid performers"

[Belleraphon100]

the music is awesome you mother fucker

[MrBobmarley777]

@Escott013 just saying man for your own good..you keep on filmin' like that you won't get subscriptions

[MrBobmarley777]

just the worst music for this vid and you cant handle a camera

there is something called focus

nice graphic card though

[xXFR05TXx]

What's a good price for a graphics card, I'm getting an ASUS RADEON 5870 HD, no ATIs available in the store. My motherboard is a MSI 975x platinum powerup edition. I'm also getting 8Gb of RAM

[ndogg360]

@xXFR05TXx

The Asus Radeon HD 5870 is ATI. I would just get 4GB ram. You wont notice a difference with 8GB. Unless you plan on doing some really memory intensive work, but for gaming, 4GB is more then enough.

[tedrupi]

I7 is better but AMD is cheaper, eg you gotta pay more for mb if you go for i7. I recommend the amd because you probably won't notice the performance difference in every day usage.

[Ronins73]

What do you think?

AMD 1055t is better than i7 930?

Answer me.

[Yantjeuhhh]

@Ronins73

when it comes to processors i would pick intel. 

[TheMarkusCachow]

@Yantjeuhhh This is true ... but if your on a budget and want a cheap processor, then best to get AMD.

[PwnforceFrank]

Wow, you really overpaid for that... Seriously. Wow.

[supergyl]

i have 1 question im trying to pick :an alienware aurora or my own built computer wich will be better performance wise and price wise please give me a resond

[PwnforceFrank]

@supergyl build your own for much much much better performance to price ratio compared to an alienware. with alienware, you pay a lot for the brand (and build quality too, but mostly for the name). Honestly, you could get equal performance for hundreds less.

[MrEtomidate]

@supergyl deffo build ya own .. been looking into building V buying . and the saving is huge . not to mention you can have what u want in it. ie a mobo that has more grfix power or one for more data transfer etc yada yada.. also i would go intel .. they have the edge for sure atm... .. im looking at 800 quid for my build ( best prices.. and 1st own build) same set up would be 1300 on shop front .. need i say more :)

[rukstah]

it takes awhile 4 ur mobo 2 loadup aye? seems a bit too slow 4 me. but it looks great. i like the intake/exaust setup. the more fans the better.(if your going air cooled). Can i ask why u picked home premium over ultimate?and is it 32 or 64 bit?

oh yeah forever live the DRAGON!!!!! AMD 4 life!

[Danionmac]

did you use a mounting kit for the dark knight?

i have a 955 and a am3 board too

[ThaPremiumAcc]

this depends on where you live, here in norway it costs atleast 2,1k$ for this rig

[halofreak2121]

Granted, this video was made 5 months ago. But $2100 is insane for this build. I just threw together a list of all the exact components you bought on newegg and the total is $1367.86. On the very outside, at the rate that prices drop on computer parts, this should have only cost you $1700 MAX in April or May. No disrespect to you at all, but someone overcharged the hell out of your parts.

[ItachiKakashiOWNZ]

whats the song tell me plz XD

[tmeng87]

no sound card?

[lewisu2088]

Could have been alot better, specially if you were going to run raid might as well do it with a couple of ssd's and then just get some nice wd 1tb for storage. but not bad for a first build.

[x1zigzag1x]

i went for the same graphic cards and i regret it, i should have taken the 5970, its way better than 5870x2 especially for starcraft 2 when u play 2vs2, you get lots of lagg and like 10fps

[Abdelmoumen]

Bro you could've bought H50-1 Liquid cooling system by corsair. It's cheap. Why buy a high performance air fan when you can get a non maintenance Liquid cooling system.

[illraveu]

@Abdelmoumen

Question???

Where is the best place to shop for cheap parts, besides tigerdirect/ newegg/ ebay/ microcenter. Is there some direct store from CHINA or something?

[Abdelmoumen]

@illraveu Sorry I don't know about that. I myself live in Holland so I can't really say anything.

[andyjr00]

I basically made the same build but with a 5770 instead and a 750 watt psu. Which should be a difference of about $100 for the gpu and $50 for the psu. I spent $770 for it all and you spent $2100? Really?

[illraveu]

@andyjr00

Question???

Where is the best place to shop for cheap parts, besides tigerdirect/ newegg/ ebay/ microcenter. Is there some direct store from CHINA or something?

[timithy1]

lol i have to say its a nice pc but i built mine around the end of 2009 (same cpu, 8 gig hyperx ram, hd 5770 vid card, 4.5 tb hdd space) and that set me back around $900 in Australia, for your system it would of cost about the same if you knew where to buy the stuff from, nice system anyway but it cost WAY to much

[XxMATMADxX]

@greentailanimations ya i know. i got this pc before the 6 core came out and i didn't know about it till after they came out.i was a bit piss off lol.

[workensmart]

@XxMATMADxX whats the big deal if you have a four core? its still a phenom 2 and most games and programs don't even make full use of duel core cpus so your still good for quite a while. Plus you saved a hundred bucks by getting a four core.

[XxMATMADxX]

@rpop996 Well the PC by it self, no mouse, keyboard etc, it was about 2100$.

The mouse cost me 70$ keyboard 100$ headset 100$ and i didn't get a new monitor yet. But you could easily lower the price

EX: 850 watts UPS instead of the 1000 watts(im planing to buy a second 5870 thats way i got the 1000watts) the difference is about 100$

EX:Get a 5850 instead of a 5870 (the difference is about 130$)

Anyways just get what your budget is at!

[souljaboy0071]

@XxMATMADxX Lmao you got ripped off the setup sucks.

[XxMATMADxX]

@souljaboy0071 why?

[weatherman001]

@XxMATMADxX

Watch out with that 2nd 5870... I have a 965 BE too, and I'm researching if bottle-necking is going to be a serious issue; I'm also deciding to get either 1 5870 2GB or 2 5870 1GBs...

[XxMATMADxX]

@rpop996 Yep

[Valadcm500]

NICE guitars 

[Revanchist8525]

umm that cpu cooler, did u install it with the amd default bracket?

[XxMATMADxX]

@Revanchist8525 ya. i couldnt put it vertical because of the AMD motherboard

[Revanchist8525]

@XxMATMADxX so its normal to do tht?it woont affect performance right?

[XxMATMADxX]

@Revanchist8525 ya its normal that my CPU cooler is like that. i had no chose but to do it that way. And for performance well i have no problem but i would like it to be vertical (i think that vertical would give better performance). Anyways its still a really good CPU cooler and i think its only 60-70$

[Revanchist8525]

@XxMATMADxX ok thx cuz i hve a zalman cnps10x performa and the amd bracket it came with didnt work right to hold the cooler so i used the default bracket and it turned vertical

[ShervinGetOffMee]

almost exactly what im gnna build, except with the newer 6 core amd processor :D

[MrPrunecandy]

very nice setup

that xiggy cooler is a great cooler for the price

how do you like your headset? um thinking about buying it

[XxMATMADxX]

@MrPrunecandy the headset is good not the best. but it is realy comfortable. some times when im playing a game, it seems to me that the volume is low but its overall good.the mic is nice. i just had to change the volume of it in the control panel. minimum i would give is a 6/10, max would be a 7,5/10.

[MrPrunecandy]

@XxMATMADxX hmmm thanks for being honest haha and not a razor fanboy like most are... il think more about it then thanks

[LBPruleGUYZ]

My new pc

2,00GT RAM

Intel core I5 2,67 prosessor

Cougar 700w power supply

ASUS P7P55D Xtreme Desing Motherboard

ATI Radeon HD 5750

4. 80mm Fans

And Hard drives

[mrchimp14]

ersonally I like their look. But they have mediocre performance.

[mrchimp14]

@dirtysock145 I just think that razer makes cheap stuff and you can get better quality for less. But some of their mice are nice, and p

[mrchimp14]

Blech. Razer.

Nice build though!

[MrShaduff]

Very Nice SetUp, Thanks for Sharing :)

[canesuper1234]

cool pc gamers!

[XxMATMADxX]

@Zavdak yes. 1 1/2 XD. I like it but i cant put it vertical because of the AMD bracket.

Because of it i dont think i can fit a RAM cooler. Dont really need one, I just like to get all my stuff cool. I still like the CPU cooler thought. I heard that it is maybe better then the coolermaster V8 and its also cheaper then the V8.

[feoray]

Now all you need is a bigger monitor.

[XxMATMADxX]

@feoray ya just need a little more money

[XxMATMADxX]

Thanks man!!!

[derek56ace]

it looks good man. That case is perfect.
