How to Build a Starcraft 2 Budget PC - Part 1

[shizumaoo]

I bought a refurbed comp with 6 gb ram and quad 2.66 ghz i3 for 300$ and just replaced the video card and added a new fan. works wonderfully. XD lol

[thebtran1]

@shizumaoo haha great man saved loads of money !!

[StarCraftGatman]

The only thing you did wrong was with the GPU, it should have been a 1 GB card because 768MB is not enough, to play with textures on max.

[thebtran1]

@StarCraftGatman well my friend didn't have a lot of money and all he wants to play is sc2 so its all good man. I have the 768mb on my computer and it plays max settings on all games so..

[MrTehYogibear]

@thebtran1 gurantees doesnt max out BF3. waha.

[thebtran1]

@MrTehYogibear yea it prob doesn't but depends on what resolution maybe high well i dunno cuz i don't own it on the pc but ps3 i do :D But for sc2 its more than enough!

[DarkOrochimaru411]

athlon x2 3.0 ghz 4 gigs of 1333mhz ram and an nvidia 9000 series. youll get 40 fps for under 350 bucks. fuck intel

[thebtran1]

@DarkOrochimaru411 haha yeah true watever makes u happy man :D

[Bamwich]

@DarkOrochimaru411 you know athlon is cheap for a reason right? intel has like double the threads lol

[StarCraftGatman]

@DarkOrochimaru411 you would atleast need a phenom II to play starcraft 2 smoothly on highest settings.

[Termination10]

[YourBoyIDP]

would this pc suffice for counter strike, tf2, killing floor left for dead 2 and portal 2? on settings that wont be an eyesore and well over 30 fps?

[thebtran1]

@YourBoyIDP yeah no problem LOL those games are hella old im playin crysis 2 max settings on e8400 on mine right now :D btw this is a build i did for my friend...and prices are probably lower for the parts you see.

[YourBoyIDP]

@thebtran1 oh awesome!

[thebtran1]

@YourBoyIDP :D

[ThreeD0ggx]

Concerning the Antec 300 and Antec earthwatts 650w specifically, do you belive that the power supply is receiving sufficient airflow when the power supply is mounted fan facing down?

[thebtran1]

@ThreeD0ggx yes it is good because most cases nowadays have them on the bottom so i guess so haha

air flowing out from the bottom would prob create less heat as it can easily move onto the ground then a psu at the top i dunno thats wat a i think hope it helps!

[dpate]

Going with a low budget PSU is like using a used condom, yeah they both work, but it's not a good idea.

[thebtran1]

@dpate nah this isn't a low budget psu its pretty good i also have one for my computer running for over 2 yrs and its saves the electricity bill if you're running power all the time :D

[mrsubscribe11]

Nice! subbed and liked :)

[WoWkiddymage]

why can i play starcraft perfect with no lag with my crappy comp?

i have:

intel pentium d

2 gigs of drr2 kingston ram

ati radeon 5450 512 mb

and the rest are from an old gatway computer : gt5405e? but i can barely play wow at 20 fps on fair :(?

[thebtran1]

@WoWkiddymage hmmm really? wow has like shitty graphics lol. well are you talking about sc or sc2? for sc2 this comp is running max settings are you running at max too at a 1900x1200 res. maybe is time for an upgrade b/c my bros comp can barely play at max and his is a dual core, 4gb ddr2, gtx460. I think this game requires like a little better dual core like mine e8400 or like an i3/i5 should be perfect for starcraft.

[CezAPacifiC]

its called the dual channel memory, you have to put in to identical ram modules in 2 identical channels ^^ if not, it wont work, as it need to ^^

[thebtran1]

@CezAPacifiC lol well my motherboard does that but for some reason this mobo does not wehn i booted it up it was likew tf then i placed right next to each other and worked fine. maybe some issue by gigabyte but idunno :D

[arf900]

just look up the Gateway SX series and upgrade the GPU. Theyre excellent computers and are dirt cheap, they have shitty GFX cards buy they are easily replaced. 

[thebtran1]

@arf900 i dunno gateway is cheap and crap

[GMmOnsOOn]
