OK, I Think Im Ready. Needing Opinions

[A m p l i f i e d Orgasm]

After Searching for a while, I have complied my checklist/parts for My gaming pc i wanna make. Reading around I think Ive done the best I could to ensure these parts will all work with each other I hope lol.

Someone mind looking through these and letting me know if its a good setup? if im Missing anything? (The Motherboard has an onboard audio card so Im good for sound. I have keyboards mice speakers and a monitor to use till I upgrade those.)









RAM



Video Card



Motheboard


Processor


Harddrive

OS ill be using win 7 64x


and this is my case

Just making sure since a lot of people forget to factor those in when making builds. You'd already covered the mouse and keyboard (two other things people tend to forget) so didn't bother bringing those up.

I forgot to ask about speakers. Are you going to use speakers or headphones?

I believe Ill use my turtle beach headphones. Got them for the 360 but theres some other piece I need so ive been using it on this laptop, Love it.

Try to avoid the new AMD CPUs. Their 6 core processors are really 3 half cores. Way to much market speak surrounding them. They also have less instructions per cycle than the Phenom 2s.

This http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103923

is 4 full cores. Faster clock speed and more instructions per cycle for the same price. It does use more electricity however. It should work in the motherboard you selected.

[29582351c3]

For ram, the motherboard only supports up to DD3 1866, not DDR3 2000.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231538

It uses the default voltage and a very low CAS. It's response time is 4.23ns while the one you picked is 4.5ns and will necessarily run hotter due to requiring extra voltage.

[29582351c3]

By my calculations you only need a 500W power supply. Go with a good grand with good warranty. Don't use no name brands, since a short in your power supply can kill every component in your computer.

For example http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139023

Corsair is supposedly a very good brand. It has more amps on the main 12v rail, despite being lower wattage, is more efficient, has a guaranteed uptime. It also has a promo code by the 16th so it will be near the price of the Ultra.

Lmao, Except for the ram, the Power supply and processor you posted were my first choices lol.

I Thank you all very much for the help.




BTW, Is there anything I should look for in a CD drive or could I just use this one from my old computer? best I can tell on it, its a 2006..

Does it use SATA? Because the mainboard you listed doesn't have an IDE connector.

Dont think it does, gotta get one with an e-sata cable then. Okie dokie

That's disingenuous at best, and deceptive at worst.

They are 3 modules which are two full CPUs that share their floating-point unit. Few programs use FP and SIMD math full time on two threads at once, so there's little reason to have a full FP/SIMD unit sitting there doing nothing - so they removed one. I see nothing wrong with that.

Calling them half-cores is a lie.

What are you? A fanboy? They share far more than just the FPU.

To quote wikipedia,"A "module" consists in a coupling of two "conventional" x86 out-of-order processing engines. The processing engine shares the early pipeline stages (eg. L1i, fetch, decode), the FPUs, and the L2 cache with the rest of the "module".

and

"All "modules" present share the L3 cache as well as an Advanced Dual-Channel Memory Sub-System (IMC - Integrated Memory Controller).", which is not too unusual.


"So a dual-thread Bulldozer processor has one single core (or module), a four-thread processor has two cores and the eight-thread processor has four cores."

So as I said, 2 half cores. Or if you want to be more specific, 2 half cores and a front end per.

Well the Motherboard and Power Supply should be here Weds.

bout 4 more to go and its Building time..

[A m p l i f i e d Orgasm]

Power Supply and Motherboard have been put in, Yay.


Next stop, CPU and ..........video card i guess lol
