Another 7750/780G Build Part 1

[zoom26]

amd = bang for the buck lol had a whole system for 400usd with the monitor,an acer with the 7450 then build a new system afterwards wit the phenom ii x4 945 95w paired with a gigabyte amd 760

[TheAlin25]

Hy guys what do you think does An ATI hd 4670 gigabite 512gddr3,,,Amd athlon64 x2 7750,,,asus m2n-mx se plus,,,3gigs off ram 600 or 800mhz,,raidmax RX500 W real power and a hard of 160GB plus other vents dvd drive............etc DO you think this would be a good computer for playng my games and i mean like crysis, gta4 stalker not full graphics and resolution but medium or higher depends on the game. PLEASE reply cuz I want to build this pc. oo one more thing is it capable to run pcsx2?thanx.

[MN12BIRD]

Not too bad for a budget gaming machine. It should run Crysis on Medium and some others even higher.

[TheAlin25]

@MN12BIRD sorry i meesed up i chanched my mind and il go with an Amd Phenom 9750 QUAD Core 2.4 ghz and i think this way better but again i am askin for your opinion cuz your a specialist so reply and tell me what you think.sorry for my english:D

[MN12BIRD]

Normally I would say stay away from the original Phenom since the Phenom II's came out last year and improved them in every way. But I noticed you live in Romania so I'm wondering if you can't get the newest stuff there?

[TheAlin25]

@MN12BIRD no i can get newer ones but what CPU do you recomand an phenom II like you said but i want it to be AM2+ cuz my mother board dosent suport am3 and i already have it cuz i had a deal on it and i got it with almost half the price or another cpu better then amd quad 9750 that i said it dosent matter if its an intel but please if you recomend watch to see if my motherboard suports it....but anyway the amd quad core 9750 is a good deal two and here its like 160 170 dolars how is it there?

[TheAlin25]

@MN12BIRD i am going for amd athlon II x4 620 so thanx anyway

[TehCakey]

As of now, it's not the fastest dual core AMD makes.

For a few bucks more, you can get the 2.8ghz AMD Athlon II x2 240.

With 4k H/T. o.o, it's one of the best dual cores around, and easily o/c'd.

[MN12BIRD]

Yeah Dual Core Phenom II's and Athlon II's all came out after this video. I love all the new AMD chips they are really kicking ass in the mainstream market and that is where I'm buying myself!

[thatjasonguy022]

whats better for gaming 780g or 790gx, is 790gx alot better then 780 or just a little and is it woth the extra 50$

[MN12BIRD]

780G and 790GX are fairly different motherboards. Usually the 780G will be a mATX (micro) board with the 700SB. The 790GX will be a full sized board with CrossfireX support (two PCI-e 2.0 x16 slots for two video cards) and usually (but not always) has a 750SB. The 750SB is better for overclocking and unlocking cores (on some Phenom x2 and x3) For gaming the 790X, 790GX or 790FX is best. Get that if you can afford the extra cost.

[rampageturke]

why do we have hard drive lights?

[MN12BIRD]

Its nice to know when the hard drive is working or working too hard I guess! Don't really need them.

[xboX121212]

I agree of the Cooling of the case i had a standard acer case and pu 2 xtra fans on it and boom 5 - 10C difference and on my new computer its good i have the Coller master CM690 its a very good case you get 3 fans with it and can put 5 more fans in it. nice video !

[CoolMan22188]

Amd 7750 vs Amd 7850

Who Wins???

[MN12BIRD]

7850 obviously. its the same chip just clocked a little faster. Thing is its not really worth it if its too much more price. I mean if the prices are close get the 7850 but don't worry about it if it costs too much mre.

[CoolMan22188]

naw the Price Difference is only about $10 bucks

so ill just go with the 7850

[unokilo321]

nah go with the 7750 and over clock it save yourself the $10 only difference is the stock clock, it's 2.7 vs. 2.8 you won't notice the 0.1ghz diff, you could get the 7750be 2.7ghz and oc it to 3.0ghz saving money for more speed :) it's what I did with my 4200+ x2 my 5000+ x2 and my 9950be x4 bought the lower clock cpu's and oc'd them a bit.

[surferstapleton]

since its a phenom, could you unlock the two other cores like on the tri core?

[MN12BIRD]

Its possible but on these its extremely rare.

[xJL92x]

unlock the 7750 to quad core

[surferstapleton]

yea, can it be done or is that only on phenom II cpu's

[xJL92x]

if you have a amd chipset like the 790GX you can unlock the 7750 to quad core and it runs stable :)

[MN12BIRD]

only an extremely small percentage of 7750's will unlock with a 750SB.

[acuna13]

Nice rig man. Im curently building something similar bit for htpc use mainly.

Im going wth the asus ASUS M3A78-EM

and AMD Athlon II X2 250 Regor

I also like your 7750 BE that you have but i think their rated at 95w I believe.

For my setup im trying go w/ lower power consumption, since my htpc case is pretty small and has a propriety psu.

Good job man!

[zgarner2]

That anthalon looked fuckin cheap for a CPU. How powerful is it? I wanna have a CPU that can help me run Crysis at high settings but not extremely pricey.

[MN12BIRD]

Well there's a 7850 now and a Phenom II x2 around the corner.  These are pretty fast dual cores for a good price if you don't want to spend on a quad.

[gschreiber94]

Current: -Upgraded dell XPS 400 -Stock Pentium D CPU 2.80ghz -4gb Corsair DDr2 800mhz -Radeon HD 4770 -450w PSU Summer Upgrades: -AMD Athlon X2 7750 -an AMD 780g mobo (model depending on the money i make) -Thermaltake Soprano case -OCZ Vanquisher CPU fan

[swaggalikeriz]

7750 or 7850?

[MN12BIRD]

Yeah I don't think the 7850 was out when I did this but it came shortly after. I guess if its not too much more. I haven't really checked into it yet other than its a 2.8GHz instead of 2.7 not sure if there are any other differences that make it worth while. They are both 3MB L2+L3 I know that.

[ZackMcLeish13]

haha i have the same CPU, same KEyboard and my Gigabyte motherboard looks identical to yours.....

[badmanelite]

gunna order this (just the tower) in a month or two as a new build for my bro, but with a few of changes..

Crucial 4GB (2X2GB) DDR2 800MHz/PC2-6400 Ballistix Memory

Western Digital WD5000AAKS 500GB SATA II 7200RPM 16MB Cache - OEM

PNY GTS250 512MB GDDR3 Dual DVI HDTV Out PhysX and Cuda ready PCI-E Graphics Card

Antec 300 Three Hundred Black Case

The rest will be the same as this build.

It's gunna cost £444.50 with shipping.

Do you think the PSU will handle the GTS 250?

[badmanelite]

nevermind going for these instead..

Coolermaster RealPower 520W Modular PSU

OCZ 4GB (2x2GB) DDR2 1066MHz/PC2-8500 Gold Memory

[wawa779]

well just google it i personally know that the 12v rails amps they equal have to be reccomended range that video card should state in specifications on the web somewhere or where your buying it from but google is easier

[gschreiber94]

that PSU will be fine, anything over 400 should be okay :)

[eternalfreakz]

hey btw, can u OC the 7750 to atleast 3.2ghz on that board? i was thinking weather i should get an

ECS A780GM-A (lesser price) or Gigabyte MA78GM-US2H (a few bucks ahead, but heard good things about this)

[MN12BIRD]

ECS have always been cheap boards. Not sure if they have improved as of late but in the past I know tons of people who had short lived ECS boards on P4's.

[alecjahn]

Yeah, I've never heard good things about ECS. Had one of the blow on me back when I was a poor kid and it left me screwed until I could afford my ABIT.

[MN12BIRD]

LOL yeah ECS boards were cheap I knew a few people who blew up ECS boards back in the P4 days.

[athffan8]

neat

[Enfeeblement]

Great video.

[badmanelite]

gotta love building base units from scratch :)

[bluebutdude1]

wow just the tower was 430$?

[crazzer123]

You msut be fairly wealthy to get all this

[MN12BIRD]

This machine is a build for a customer. Its not my machine.

[IonPrime]

how much did this build cost?

[IonPrime]

oh wait nvm lol

[MN12BIRD]

Did you watch the video before you posted?

[crazzer123]

Oh my mistake. Sorry

[jedw]

ew you had me upto "seagate".

I had 2 die in a row way back, and I've always gone for western digital since. I suppose that was just my bad luck.

[MN12BIRD]

I've had nothing but Seagate. In fact I have 4 Seagate dries now (160, 500 in PC, 320 in external box and 320 in Xbox) and they all work great. Google did their own tests with their servers. They used 1000 Seagate drives and 1000 WD drives in the same cooled room. They found no difference with either. The same amount of both failed around the same times averaged in the end of a year. Its been proven it comes down to the model and luck to a point!

[sinistermoon]

Right on now I know the specs. Not a bad tower. Seagate is good. What are your thoughts on Maxor?

[MN12BIRD]

Maxtor has been gone for years now. They got bought out by Seagate!

[sinistermoon]

So your thoughts of them is that they are owned by Seagate now. And you like Seagate.  Awesome lol. I wonder more about how they are made and what elements they may have taken from the Maxtor company when they bought it. I guess the comment section is a pretty bad place to go into the amount of detail that I would to go into. I just might have to start making video replies to you one day. Taking apart things FTW lol.

[nathanallan1]

FINALLY! Someone else calls it a laser mouse!!!

[MN12BIRD]

That one is a laser mouse. Most aren't. Most optical mice don't actually use a laser. The laser ones are invisible no red light on the bottom. My main mouse is also an invisible laser. Its nice because it doesn't reflect off a shiny desk surface. Sometimes the red optical ones do so you end up needing a mouse pad.

[youtubasoarus]

What do you think of Asus Mobos? I used to think they were awesome, I have one in my server but i've heard bad things lately. Not sure if you've had any experience with them.

[MN12BIRD]

I don't think there is anything wrong with Asus. I've had several Asus boards in the past and loved them. Everyone makes lemons so you should read reviews on any board you buy no matter who makes it. I can say I've heard bad things about Asus but mainly support related not the actual boards.

[ringrosehouse07]

hehe "in this case"

[MN12BIRD]

haha at one point I said "in this case this case is... " and I had to edit it out because it threw me way off!

[zeldajunkielol2]

is dvi a new input type because I've never seen a computer with it. I'm asking because I found a dvi cable someone was throwing out.

[MN12BIRD]

DVI is a digital video connection similar to HDMI. Its used to connect LCD monitors or a TV for example. Being Digital it can give a better picture than an Analog SVGA (RGB) connection found on older monitors.

[zeldajunkielol2]

sweet, good thing I picked it up. so DVI stands for digital video input.(guessed off the top of my head)

[MN12BIRD]

Close but its Digital Video Interface IIRC

[fuyingbro]

awesome build bro

[narox]

Those prices are real cheap. You got connections. :)

[MN12BIRD]

Oh I'm sure you can get better prices in teh States! Look around your custom PC shops.

[Treasurefan02]

Thanks for the informative video. I'm planning on building my first computer within the coming weeks.

[yeaitwasme]

i am waiting for the intel extreme to go down, i belive it is the 9000...

[misterintellivision]

is it for you or someone else?

good vid as always Jake

[MN12BIRD]

No this is for someone else.

[zeldajunkielol2]

I really like the motherboard you've been using does that one take SATA hard drives?

[MN12BIRD]

Yes of course it takes 6 in total! That's 5 internal and 1 external (eSATA)

[HotPocket1234]

nice vid

[ldisc66]

Gigabyte good and as for Seagate I too support them since their CEO (paraphrasing here) said that they don't make uber innovative products, just storage solutions to store their customer's porn on. So yeah any CEO with balls like that you gotta respect. I gotta say your build is built with some very durable parts.

[zeldajunkielol2]

If I get a new hard drive it will be seagate because they are cool.

[Lachlant1984]

You say the case fan has Quite Mode, what is Quiet Mode?

[MN12BIRD]

You'll see in part 2 but it comes with an inline resistor that when used basically cuts the speed in half.

[Zxander34]

o what fun lol!

[segafan1111]

Awesome!
