Dom's PC Setup

[Pyroka]

Yeah I've heard that alot about SSDs... Shame that, but for £100 to testdrive the whole thing, you can't really go that wrong.

I have that one and it is great for a month but then they begin to lose their peformance.

I can't be assed to type out what I was gunna say, so this quote will do.

Yeah my graphics card is probably exactly the same size as yours as its a GTX260 too. I've got a 850W PSU and the wires on it are HEFTY. I mean theyre like... wow LOL. Made out of iron, will not bend. All my wires are tucked at the bottom tbh, but I need to cable tie them, then stick them down because serrriously theyre insanely hard to even twist. It's like titanium wire protection. For my PSU I have to like tilt it in a weird angle and then pop it in. One thing good about the case is the HDD and IDE(?) holders, theyre great. The handle is good too.

I think 8GB for RAM was severely unnecessary, you should've just got like DDR3 memory instead, it costs around the same as that for 4GB and it's gonna phase out DDR2 eventually... I like the mobo, I think... meh I wouldn't care, as long as it all fits innit Good hard drive, even better screen, although I'm just gonna buy a BenQ 24" screen which is cheaper, same res and seemingly better than the Samsung you bought

Intriegued about the Processor.. but fair play. Yeah you've got a pretty rocksolid setup there, I just think it went a bit iffy on the Processor, plus the fact you aint getting a custom CPU fan, uhhh... Yeah the RAM is a bit unnecessary too but no gripes about it other than that, it'll play most stuff imo. You should've invested in a SSD, they're doing them for £100 at Novatech, 64GB but theyre like LIGHTENING loading speeds. They'd take full advantage of the RAM you have.

BenQ is a good choice. They're a beautiful monitor and they're really high spec aswell - for the price.

They don't lose much read performance, and you can get the write performance back by doing a special type of reformatting (can't remember what it's called).

Isn't there a 'Post your setup' thread? ;s

Read the thread and you'd see he needed help etc.

Hate to break it to you and all but if some sad members, who clearly have nothing better to do, didn´t ruin them they wouldn´t have been closed.

dom just take no notice of all the trolls.

did you get your mobo sorted in the end or have you sent it back?

Nothing worked, so had to send it back

Sisters boyfriend is going to sort it while I am away, then he will start putting together

The one that may not have worked has been sent back to eBuyer (sister texted and said it has been collected)

Hopefully all we be good by the time I am home!
