Vics Budget Gaming PC Build

[ImAKillZoneFan]

I think this video should be removed. after all technology moves fast.

[CHazDoG100]

lol i can build a better pc than that for like half the price dude u got riped off

[xxvikingwarrior]

@CHazDoG100  LOL this video is almost 4 years old douchbag.

[Georgefromaccounting]

Amd phenom 2 965 or intel i5 750 or intel i7 (1366) for gaming? let me know :)

[chrintov]

did you upgrade since then or are you still running on this?

[xxvikingwarrior]

WOW. Over 10,000 views that's cool. What do you guys think of my music? check out myspace search Hall of the Two Truths.

[TheDman52]

i got a AMD Phenom quad 2.8ghz with 4 gigs of ddr3 at 1333mhz and a overclocked 9400gt (overclocked 100 mhz)

I run CSS at 200 fps on maxed out settings

nice computer though

[TheDman52]

o and this rig was about 700

[xxvikingwarrior]

@TheDman52 Nice rig, but your video card sucks ass!

[TheDman52]

lol i know, im thinking about upgrading soon. Im thinking about getting the Sapphire radeon 4860 with 1gb of ddr5, 256 bit for 129.99 should i get? Budget is not much more then that.

[xxvikingwarrior]

@TheDman52 That sounds like a winner for your setup and budget. That card with be nice. I'm sure it will outpace 9800GTX+ possibly run with GTX260? I would get that one, your PC would then rule! CPU upgrade to a Phenom II x4 would then need to happen to prevent CPU bottleneck and also to make your system kick more ass.

[tripplenipple100]

i just got a

amd athlon x2 4850e @ 2.5ghz

NVIDIA geforce 8200

400 watt power supply

all for 450$ i love i play css around 40 fps

[freaktube4]

man i dont under stand y you need massive hard drives a 320gb is more than enough y do people go crazy and get 1tb 2tb sometimes 4tb you dont even need that unless your obsessed with hard drive space..

[camvvti]

sum ppl do video editing, use there comp as an entertainment machine, hold, music, movies, shit adds up.

[CamHalo]

thats not true I got a 320 GB hard drive and in 3 days I had already used over 200 GB. So some people really do need all that.

[xxvikingwarrior]

I have a server so the storage space on my PC's isn't very important.

[alkat5a]

is a 1.5tb hard drive cheap for 100 bucks? i was thinknig of getting

[MaiProd]

yeah it deff is. a 640 gb costs $75. Do the math.

[halowiteboy]

i got better one for under 300 buks beat that

[TheReject1228]

must be a piece of shit

[MaiProd]

Bullshit.

[kanwarjyot]

HI VIC!

[xxvikingwarrior]

@kanwarjyot hi

[neonzion7]

nice!!!! but to bad u did not spend that $1000 now.... could have had a gts 250 or so....

[xxvikingwarrior]

Yea I could get better nowdays. This build is well over a year old.

[neonzion7]

but it still has awesum gaming potential...

[xxvikingwarrior]

@neonzion7 I know :( I'm thinking of selling this system and upgrading!

[neonzion7]

lucky!!!! hahah my "new" system is still worse than this 1 hahhahaha!

[techking00107]

Budget pc budget video. Where is the audio? lol

[xxvikingwarrior]

Maybe you should check your speakers, lol.

[Skateboarder707]

i've got almost the same rig it's scary...same case, same thermal take fans, same pci fan card and cpu...i just have a 9800gtx+

[xxvikingwarrior]

Thats crazy. Whats even crazier is that I now have a 9800GTX+ hahaha.

[slaveknight]

its not a budget pc.. its mid-high end

[narcoti]

yeah I agree, budget is 600 and below

[xKILLZONAx]

built mine for 765, but i got a new gpu and more ram, so the totals 1065

[tzihris660]

the typhoon is a big baby. i had one in my old system and i remember that it was not so easy to install. but works great and silent

[shawnzal1]

do u think i can get newer graphics cards to work with older 2002 xp computer....i know o hav intel on the inside but i want to upgrade

[DashTheGreat]

It depends on your power supply. You might want to check your power supply to make sure that it can handle newer cards, or otherwise, the card won't get enough juice.

Also, what slots do you have available? PCIe? AGP? PCI? I am going to assume that you don't have PCIe, since your computer is from 2002. In that case, you're going to be looking at some of the older AGP cards.

Personally, I would buy a completely new computer. You're just not going to find something worthwhile for an old system.

[fpsd0minat0r]

what difference does BFG or PNY and the others make???

at the end of the day shouldnt it just be a standard nvidia 8800GT????

is Nvidia a company or a technology?????

and are PNY and BGF companies??

[nikitannenkov]

some cards run cooler and some are smaller

[killerbeau95]

the 8800 kills it you should have got a HD 4870

[xxvikingwarrior]

Yea, I have been torn between my upgrade options. Either a 4870 or GTX260 core 216. I think I plan on going with nvidia cause I have an sli motherboard. Actually my 8800GT performs great. I have been running a custom BIOS with the clocks 700/1700/1000@1.2V for a while. With CPU at 3.6Ghz I get high 14K to low 15K in 3dmark06.

[pcandcargeek28]

nice pc setup, the cpu cooler is nice and chunky, but the bigger the better i guess, nice vid man

[xxvikingwarrior]

Thanks man. I love the cooler, but I want water cooling!

[HCNguyen86]

how is overclocking the quadcore? I have a E8400 and clocked it till 4.0 I have no experience with quadcore.

[xxvikingwarrior]

It seems like overclocking anything else, raise FSB till unstable, then raise vcore, then repeat. I had to set my memory unlinked at 667mhz to get 3.6ghz to be stable. Nice clock on your E8400, wish I could hit 4Ghz!

[GarrettBMXes]

I saw COD4 on the desktop.. Nice choice :)

[xxvikingwarrior]

Indeed. :)

[oddomar]

Nice build but why cheap out on ram ddr2 is dirt cheap with this build i would of thrown atleast 4-8gb of ddr2 or 2gb of ddr3 prolly got a decent memory controller on that board i imagine.

[xxvikingwarrior]

Yea I'm thinking about updating to 4GB ram. But more then that really isn't very useful.

[xxvikingwarrior]

The board doesn't support DDR3. 2GB is enough, I'll prolly upgrade to 4GB later.

[CKCurley64]

can you run sli without sli ram

???????

[xxvikingwarrior]

Yes of course you can. SLI ram is just for marketing. Only real thing it does is allow tighter timings when it runs with certain nvidia boards.

[thelaxplaya7]

Wow we have a very similar system but for some reason I got 15k score even with a dual core and u have a quad

[xxvikingwarrior]

Prob. cause you run 3dmark at 1024x768, haha.

[chsknight421]

dude could i get that song!!!!

[GlaBurnzUrHouseAK47]

my computer is much cheaper and runs gamess great

got it for $648!

Gaming Special

Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 3.0G

Asus P5K-SE EPU Motherboard

DDR2-800 2G

Seagate 500gb SATA2 Hard Disk

LG H55N 20x DVDRW

Nvidia Geforce 9600GSO 384M

ATX Mid Tower Case / Thermaltake 430w Power

[barthansen21]

can you give me the sitte???

[oddomar]

i would of gone with the asus p5n-e sli just a few bucks more if you ever plan on tossin another card in for sli, curious how is that epu on that motherboard any performance probs?

[xxvikingwarrior]

My board can run SLI, it has 2 x16 PCI express slots, that remain x16 when both are filled. The board overclocks my quad to 3.6Ghz from 2.4Ghz so I'm happy.

[thisissparta3324]

is the board good? cos i heard some reviews that it has some problems E.G: blue screen of death, black screen of death stuff like that

[xxvikingwarrior]

lol, whats a black screen of death??? O_o

[y35n00b5]

when your video card goes dead but you still hear the BG noise...lol

[paulbreor]

sweet rig bro/

[cjo944]

sweet build where did you get the parts from

[TheFelixxRevolution]

lol dude wats wrong with his mobo ?? the 680i chip set is pimp and isnt the front side bus on that 1333mhz ?? personly i woulda went with the asus p5n-e but i heard people have problems with it

[HermitPenguin]

You are the first person i have seen with the same name as mine "Vic" !!!! I see ppl all the time named victor, but im just vic

[grm138]

Nice dude i got my stuff frmo tigersdirect too!

[xxvikingwarrior]

The PCI fan is ok, I ended up moving it to another computer cause of the ugly purple glow it emits. And yes it is very loud at full speed, it doesnt blow much air either really.

[virtueion82]

how good is that pci fan? is it loud?

[xxvikingwarrior]

Whats wrong with my mobo? Its has served me very well for the money. It overclocks my q6600 pretty well also.

[bobjoshilly]

I HATE YOUR MOBO

[xxvikingwarrior]

dude, come on...sli components have nothing to do with reduced heat. Sli memory is really just for marketing. What it is tho is for certain chipsets you can enable sli memory and have enhanced timing. Nothing really special.

[presnillajones]

not bad for a grand

[fantasmaofdoom]

is that Memory good ? because i don't know what that SLI Ready thing means? it has nothing to do with graphics card?

[xxvikingwarrior]

In the gaming area, $1000 is budget. Gaming computers focus on using the newest components. The newest Intel quad core extreme costs over $1200 for cpu. A top of the line gaming pc can easly run $3000... The case is an Ultra Aluminus.

[marc4life22]

oh and what kind of case is that??? it looks bad ass

[marc4life22]

i went with the vistion tek HD3870 and saved a lot of money going with ATI for good stuff

[beanbag1985]

its funny how so called "gamers" will spend more than this to get one from dell, or other companies, they arent gamers, they are players.

[GlaBurnzUrHouseAK47]

1 grand for a budget gaming, buget gaming is for like 500-800 dolllars, mine is 621 and it has a ATI radeon x1950 xt can play COD4 with FPS 40!!!

[HazzyTrix]

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA...

dude,

my imac plays cod4 at 90 fps. lol.. and it has some crappy stock graphics. lol...

DUDE 1000 is buget, 600 is povo.

[bandidagen]

macs can lik mah balls

[paulbreor]

and mine.

[ossumguywill]

No, 1000 is budget. 500-800 is kenny poor.

[staticxmako]

budget?

[hal0wnage]

oh

is there a store that i can go to...to get that ram??????????

NOT on the intenet

thanks

[xxvikingwarrior]

ATI and AMD are great companies, offer great products and they rule the performance for the money area. But sorry they fail in performance against intel and nvidia everytime.

[FUTURERESIDENT]

AMD and ATI is who I go with but besides that good rig man. It's not really a budget though.lol

[PuppetSinXD]

thats a pretty good budget pc thats almost 1grand im building mine right now got the Aluminus to. got 80 bucks might by razer mouse or keyboard or CPU Fan not sure

[jkdd22]

Hey i have figured out that the ATI 3850 and 3870 work way better with vista. Its clocked at over 700 mhz stock! Its also cheaper. But...over all....NICE RIG!

[xxvikingwarrior]

Yea the 8800GT is warm, mine idles at 50C or so, and load gets it to roughly 65C. I just overclocked my cpu to 3.4 ghz and overclocked my 8800gt aswell. I have a 3dmark06 score of 14,022!

[kh3m1c4l]

Hey if you think your 8800GT is running a little hot. I'd recommend the Accelero. Its only like 25 bucks and it keeps my 8800GT core at 35C idle and around 44C load. I got a Q6600 + 8800GT also, but I got a 14,100 score ;] try overclocking the CPU some more. Mine's running at 3.6Ghz on a P5K Deluxe motherboard.

[nvtech11]

i can't seem to OC my q6600 over 3.2 ghz on air... what settings did you use for a 3.6 ghz OC? btw, i have a 680i motherboard, so OCing shouldn't be an issue...

[kh3m1c4l]

What are your temperatures? Keep it under 60C on load, if the temperature isn't stopping you, then it probably is the motherboard. I had a P5N32-E 680i SLI, and I couldn't get over 3.0GHz without hitting a overclock wall. I use an Arctic Freezer 7 Pro, amazing performance for cheap. I'm getting a tuniq tower soon though. If you want you could get a P35 motherboard, Q6600 overclock really high on P35 boards. Good luck on your overclocking! :]

[nvtech11]

actually, on load, its way below 60C, but for some odd reason, the computer just shuts down.. which is a sign of overheating... I have a zalman 9700 cooler, so cooling shouldn't be a issue.. but thanks for the help~

[HardwareBlog]

Upgrade to a better air cooler....get either a Tuniq Tower 120 or a Thermalright Ultra-120 eXtreme (TRUE) with a couple of high cfn Yate Loon or Scythe Kaze fans

[nvtech11]

alright, about to pick up a thermalright ultra 120 extreme... with a noctua fan.. thanks

[xxvikingwarrior]

I love the ram aswell I have the timings set to 4-3-3-8 @ 800mhz. The LT is a good board, I choose it cause a 680i was more costly, and the extra features in 680i didnt make the extra cost. At least my 2 pcie slots are 16x. I think that when the 680i chipset runs 2 cards in sli it turns the pcie slots to 8x, not sure tho...

[kfootballkid]

I love that ram, i wanna get it after i get my 680i (not the LT) because i want my PC to have nvidia all over it =)

[chinezyxx]

that's one cool computer !! what's the song's name ?!

[Patron1520]

Whats that song called?

[jbritney6669]

v-tor you are such a nerd!!!lolz:P

[FOOSAG]

Thats a nice rig for $1000.

[Lokabergslagen]

Cool, my 8800 GT OC is also blue on the chip. It's pretty rear. nice rig!

[xxvikingwarrior]

thanks for the comments guys! To vicious: I think I have the vcore set to 1.4 in bios for 3.2ghz. To lolabobo: I didnt get a game with it, I got the card at Best Buy on sale. To Tom00West: No dvd burner included I already had one to use, and btw everything works great! Damn I need a 22 inch LCD now, hehe.

[Tom00West]

nice, i was thinking of building a rig with the exact same case, mobo, proc, video card... one question. was a dvd burner included in the $1000?

[nvtech11]

remember though, no monitor....

[lolabobo]

nice rig

what game did y get with youre BFG card Crysis>??

[XxViciousxX]

very nice indeed what you got your v core set at to get your q6600 stable at 3.2? i only ask cuz im building a new computer on Monday and i got that processor and Mobo.

[nguyenpeter76]

pretty darn nice :}
