How much are you paying for the 950 compared to the 930? And can someone check out the wattage required for that? Will 550 be enough?Little BaBy JESUS wrote:
Putting together a build for my brother, parents decided they would buy him one for christmas since he's still struggling on his old 1.8Ghz dual core/2GB RAM/x1300.
He's doing his Architecture masters at the moment and therefore will be using a shit load of CAD programs, also video/music editing and some light gaming. Any suggestions on my build for him so far? trying to keep it around $1500 AUD (at the moment this build costs $1408).
-Antec 300 Case
-ASUS P6X58D-E Motherboard
-Corsair VX-550 PSU
-G.Skill 6GB 1600Mhz DDR3 RAM
-i7 950 CPU
-Windows 7 HP 64 bit
-Samsung 1TB F3 HDD
-Samsung SATA DVD/RW
-Sapphire HD6850
Haven't included a aftermarket CPU cooler because he's not all that tech savvy, doesn't like overclocking and I don't really feel like driving 3 hours to troubleshoot his computer if something plays up with the overclock etc. My only thought at the moment is upping the PSU to a TX-650, but its probably not really necessary.
sooo any suggestions?
Get one of those Corsair/Antec 750sUzique wrote:
from what i've seen it's definitely wise to go 600w+ for i7 systems
Yeah that budget + that size = budget laptopLucien wrote:
Right so the store I ordered my netbook from decided it was going to take them 5 weeks to actually have them in stock so I cancelled
While I've got the chance to ask, does anyone have any recommendations for a portable, 12-15" laptop under 600 euros that's actually any good?

Considering the rest of the list, that 6850 is out of place. The 6 series is less powerful than the 5 series, so look for a 5850/70 if you want something on par with the rest of the build. And, as said, 550W seems a bit low.Little BaBy JESUS wrote:

What moron changed those number codes x_XGC_PaNzerFIN wrote:
550w is more than enough. HD 6870 is about same as HD 5850 in terms of performance.
Why an f1?Finray wrote:
Just submitted an RMA for the hard-drive that died on me.. several weeks ago. Probably should have done it sooner.
Was just flicking through some old bank statements and saw a payment to Overclockers in May.. I thought I had the drives for longer than a year so never bothered to look up the warrenty.
Gonna buy a 1TB F1 tomorrow though, cba waiting to see if/when the RMA gets accepted and shit.
scan has good deals on them normally, shame the courier they use is shite.Finray wrote:
Typo, it's actually an F3
Just keep looking for a place that has netbooks for the right price and that are in stock. Otherwise you'll have to go with a budget laptop and that's not a good idea.Lucien wrote:
