| hey every1! well acouple months ago i posted saying i wanted to start my first build and i got some help with it! (thanks to the guys for the suggestiong!) and finaly after alot of saving and everything i got all the parts and put it 2gether yesterday! and its amazing! heres the specs: case: Antec 900 Mobo: xfx 680i LT SLI CPU: Intel C2Q Q6600 CPU Cooler: Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro RAM: Ocz 4GB (2x2GB) Hard Drives: 1x 500GB 2x 160GB GPU: Evga 8800GT PSU: Ultra X2 750Watt os/s: xp pro 32bit (gonna upgrade to 64bit next time i have to reinstall) and vista 32bit (again going to install 64bit as soon as i figure out how to boot to it) and my old system was this: Emachines T3508 CPU: Intel celeron D 3.33ghz (single core :( ) RAM: 1.5GB (but 128mb shared video mamory so only 1.3gb free) GPU: onboard 128mb shared yea it suckd! heres some pics of my new setup: http://rapidshare.com/files/102390572/NEW_PC.rar for those who dont wanna download them, its basicly acouple pics of the hardware and some screne shots from 3dmax 06. 3d max 06 scores: old pc: 153 New PC: 12,239!!! amazing jump! the diffrence from a single core with 1.3gb of ram to a quad core with 4gb of ram (can only use 2.7gb in 32bit xp) is amazing! i installd some games last night and heres what i got so far: Farcry: Completly maxd out, 1400x1500 i got 110-120fps! Crysis demo: everything set to high and 2xaa 30-40fps (very playable) i also installd enemy territorys quake wars (came with gpu) but havnt had a chance to play it yet, also i have call of duty 4 but havnt installd it yet. but if i get 30fps on crysis on high im guessing i can eather max out cod or atleast get something amazing! *note all games were installd on xp because im having probalems booting into vista. |

| ok sry bout that! i can asure u theres nothing but pics in the file! i hate when people put viruses in them! but i will upload to a hosting site! the only reason i put them in a rar is because theres some big ones (1400x1050) and somepeople with slow connections dont like that! |

| thanks! i wish i coulda done a better job with the cables tho! but they were to short to rout them good :( but the antec 900 has pre drilld holes in the back for easier routing! most of my wires were only short by a tiny bit when i tryd routing them around stuff/through the holes, but my psu is modeler so that helped minimize the clutter a bit Last edited by jas98235 : 26th Mar 2008 at 10:55 AM. |
