I need some Infomation on Top of the Line Parts

[BlackXEyes]

What's a good Part for Processor ? is it i7 Processor ?

and whats a good Power Supply o.o around 600 Dollers

and am getting Graphic's Card what's better Nivida or ATI or AMD ? I know Nivida has 480 ? am not formillar with AMD and ATI

Processor has to be around 3.2 G.h.z whats a good model Number for that or quad Core

whats a good Mother Board for Nivida or ATI or AMD (am in the middle age's on parts <_< in Dark Ages)

whats a good deal on Internet 10/100 i got this one but what about faster ones is there any out there o.O

whats a good SLi Stuff do ?

 

 

reason why am asking these question's cause am building a new computer in 2 years i want to walk in get parts and not sit there googgley eye'd <_<

I'll let you know in 2 years.

stuff improves all the time. dont bother looking until ur gonna build it.

I'm running a 3 year old system with a Core 2 e6400, 4 gb ram, and an Nvidia 8600 card, and I'm still able to run the newest games at almost full specs. It would be going too far to say hardware needs have plateaued, but parts aren't getting completely obsolete as quickly as they did in the past. I guess what I'm trying to say here, is getting the most bleeding edge best probably isn't vital, jest get good parts at a good deal would be my advice.

As much as I would like to agree with you in playing the lastest PC games, the problem is PC games are being phased out. /amban consoles.

 

No one can deny going into a electronics store like JB-HiFi and seeing 4 aisles of console games, and 1/4 of an aisle of PC games -.-

blame Microsoft

As long as they keep bringing quality games to PC (i.e. Half-life, Portal, Mass Effect, Dragon Age Etc) they can release as many games on console as they want. To be honest, the only genre I will absolutely refuse to play on a console are first person shooters anyway. And as far as seeing 4 aisles on console games, and a portion of one aisle for PC, consider how many consoles and handhelds there are. You have PS3, XBOX 360, Wii, PSP, DS, even PS2 games are still floating around. And fewer and fewer games are exclusive to a single platform, so a lot of the games are repeats just on a different console. People have been saying for years that PC gaming is going to be replaced by console gaming, but it still hasn't happened, and I think digital distribution via the internet has the potential to allow PC gaming to continue to thrive as it allows more developers the opportunity to publish their games, without needing the resources to market the game traditionally, or produce physical media.

i7's are processors built from Intel and its one of their latest in line. Is it better than everything else? No not really, it all depends on what you're looking for in a computer. If you're on a budget a Quad Core or Core 2 Duo still works fine. If you want something a bit more up to date, go for an i5. Their specifications are similar to most i7's but they're cheaper. AMD and Intel processors are pretty much identical. Intel processors work well with most video cards, especially the Nvidia line while AMD processors have their own video cards that sync better than some Intel combos.

 

Power supplies aren't that expensive. You should be able to get a 700w power supply for around 100-120 bucks, not 600. Heavy wattage power supplies are only meant for rigs made to push strong processing power, whether you have a beefy processor/motherboard combo or Crossfiring or SLI'ing video cards which I will explain next.

 

Ghz is processing speed. Simple enough now a days the standard speed for most rigs is about 2.66 ghz. Anything lower is meant for laptops. Almost all new processors are 2.66 ghz and above.

 

There are a lot of good companies who make solid motherboards. Gigabyte and Asus are on the top of my list since they provide solid warranties. Mind you, motherboards are separated mainly by what type of processor you plan to put in. Motherboards are simply just a building platform for your rig, so the more stuff you can fit in and add on the more expensive it is.

 

Video cards all depend on how much you're willing to spend. The video card I have is worth around 200 bucks, its an Nvidia 260 Core and it'll last about 4 years of maximum setting gaming. The simple formula for picking video cards is use them in tandem with their partner companies. Intel = Nvidia, AMD + AMD/ATI. By the way, ATI and AMD are the same company.

 

Internet speed is based solely on your service provider. The best idea is to get Cable. Its affordable and its fast.

 

SLI is a fancy way of saying "using two video cards." Video cards can be bridge together to provide more graphical power. If you have an older video card that supports SLI bridging, its a more economical way of upgrading your rig without having to spend money on a new and more powerful video card. Instead, spend a discounted price for the same card you have. ATI has their own version too, except its called Crossfire.

 

If you're looking for a website that provides you part for part building concepts for computers, try www.cyberpowerpc.com. I purchased my rig from their and did research on every part myself. The prices are pretty fair compared to most competing websites, and there's bountiful amounts of coupons for additional savings. If you do plan to purchase from them, make sure you choose the 'free shipping" configurator.

I run my own computer store and can sell ya pc at any price range that will run JKA and any other game you need it to. ( obviously which games you play effect cost)

 

Personally I stick with INTEL / Nvidia for best performance / reliability.

 

If your in the budget of i7 .. Dont even worry about CPU .. your set for a good while. If you only play games from like 2000-2005ish you could easily get away w/ a card as low as 8800GT/GTX (or even less really) but I wouldn't get anything lower than a generation back ( IE like a Nvidia GTX 275 /285 or 295 .) ..

 

Games for Windows MUST BE FACTORED IN... If you have a PC and no 360 you could end up wanting to play those cross platform games and not all games are optimized for slower hardware. Example being GTA4 and Assasins Creed 2 .. While they look EPIC on PC .. they definitely have their issues.

 

Lastly your monitor is a more important factor than most realize. If you have a CRT .. ignore this because you can pretty much run any resolution you want w/o trouble. IF you have a LCD they generally want to run at their native resolution for best performance, if that happens to be a 24" Widescreen at 1920'x1200 .. that HIGHER resolution means more rendering the video card has to do ...

 

In other words .. the bigger and better your monitor is .. the more you should spend on video card.

 

Hope this helps.

 

 

+ Quick note .. I agree w/ Yoda on cable internet. I would also suggest unless your using near top of the line video cards ( or getting used at a good price ) SLI is a waste of Money, and POWER USAGE!

 

I didn't even notice a huge difference when i had 2 of my 275s. 60% of the games I played couldn't utilize it, 30% of what was left didn't need it, and the other % still had me wanting SLI w/ better video cards lol .. .
