[Qapmoc10149]

how you do for have 263.7MB/S max read?, i have 3 500GB in raid 0 and i got 301.7MB/S max read but me i have 2800MB/S burst speed

[TheArea510]

how fast is it Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 is raid 0?

just to make things clear

the title of this video is about GAMING rig, but this pc is my main pc.. not a second one for gaming only.

about the graphic card, well its the only 'old' component inside my pc. i was waiting for the new Nvidia cards, but i think i will go for the 5870 instead

[Randomkaoz]

stil man should change the title to my i5 pc for under blah blah, when you title a video gaming rig, it's got to be one like for real. Unless this is your 1st time building a pc on a tight budget then its understandable.

plus list the important specs not the model or series of parts.

[MHWUU]

This is no gaming RIG Oo. Mainboard, CPU, Power Supply are far too expensive. And whatfor RAID 0? It gives u nothing but trouble. The most important thing for gaming is the Graphic Card and your HD 4850 is simply too weak. And i wouldnt recommend Crossfire.

Phenom II x4 945, HD 5850, 500W Power Supply and a MSI 770-C45 would be the better choice...

[Randomkaoz]

ok you just wasted your time talking lol.

[Randomkaoz]

lol and of course the noob builders give me -2. Kids i swear.

[Randomkaoz]

dude why did you make an i series gaming rig?? you just blew your money for crap.

[DANGERDOOM64]

....?

[Randomkaoz]

what?

[DANGERDOOM64]

how did he blow his money on an i5?

[Randomkaoz]

because it's an i5 dude and it's in titled gaming rig not 3d rendering machine. if the cheapest C2D is 15/11% slower and at 80% TDP (which most games push it too) then the i7 920. What do you think? Your basically blowing dough for nothing.

If you get a C2D without even O.Cing it keeping at 38c, with 1066 DDR2 CAS 3 and SLI your vids, it comes out to the same thing but spending 900 bucks less. Which with that money you can get 2 SSDs and RAID them. not 2 SATAs .

[DANGERDOOM64]

well true, but i5 and "i" series is a lot faster in most cases then older core 2's. having an i5 gives the person more freedom to do more demanding apps

[Randomkaoz]

Yeah but he's obviously not building a gaming rig for other apps, besides even if that was the case you still don't get over 40%, you'll hit the 29 to 34 range. Which then you could just switch to a C2Q and OC it for kicks. You'll get the same numbers again. Now a i7 or the next "i9" with DDR3 1800+ with an SSD MLC and bring the i7 temp down to 35c Now that would be a beast. But that would be a little bit too much when 1 year of waiting would fix that.

Edited in Windows Live Movie Maker?

The animations of the title all the same...

[xlob3]

nice rig man ;).... song name pls !! :X

[MrPcmaker]

i just came from frys and built my i5 rig 3.2ghz not overcloked (yet) =) i am happy with the speed of the cpu

[Tim456a]

Hey Pedelt,

What kind of benchie scores do you get with your RAID 0??

[pedelt]

Avrage read: 214.3 MB/s

Max read: 263.7 MB/s

Burst speed: 376.5 MB/s

Random access: 13.8 ms

[Tim456a]

Thanks Pedelt.

Your burst rate seems a little low, but your average read looks very good. Guess the single platters make a big difference.

[ThomasComputerShow]

@sesvn Hey dude, looks like a cool build, but if you are going for a low cost machine with great performance, try upping that xfx ati 4870 to something in the radeon 5000 series, if you want something low-cost with good performance then I suggest going with AMD if you aren't someone who needs to have an intel-based machine. Anyways, hope your build comes out good!

[trackrunner908]

hey what kind of desk do you have?

[pedelt]

the very cheap kind :D

[trackrunner908]

Haha ok

[noobifile]

sex in the form of a computer

[DaRkStAr197]

why only the HD 4850? i would reccomend atleat a 4890...

but other than that, this build is 5-star man, Excellent

[pedelt]

thats my old graphics card. the only "old" part of my system

waiting for nvidia's new cards :]

[imsososogreat]

what price range are the new nvidia cards?

[skaterguy288]

r u talking about the new 300 series card? If so we can expect about 400 for the cheapest i say because nvidia is always more then ati with a little bit better power but ati is the best right now with DX11 with the most support and experience so far

[imsososogreat]

hmm do you think the cheapest will be better then a 5850?

[skaterguy288]

there cheapest should be par with it

[imsososogreat]

does i5 support 1600mhz ram?

[pedelt]

yep.

the "native support" is 1333, but you can use anything you like if the M/B supports it

im using my 1600cas7 @ 2000MHZ 8-9-8-24

[imsososogreat]

thanks! do you think there is much gain over 1333? cos i could either get 4 gig 1600

or 6 gig 1333

[paultje162]

Sure but u need to cinfigure it in BIOS

[ThePaxantoRulez]

sure!! why not?

[imsososogreat]

hello! i need help on what motherboard i should get.

i am building an i5 similar to yours except with a hd5870, and i was wondering what the benefits of an p55-ud5 compared to a ud3 is?

[JustinR19]

Read the motherfucking specs of the motherboards and compare them you fucking idiot.

[iheartcomps]

I have a Lian Li P50 ^^ They make really nice cases don't they! :)

[enyownz]

how much was your budget for everything?

[pedelt]

tnx :)

[malaguenabeni]

very nice pc set up

[eezzeesskk88]

HOLA:

Very good PC GAMER
