Moar Build Questions

Hardware Hub Other Hardware

I have some other quick questions. The link at the end of the post is the computer I want to build at the end of the summer. I have some worries about how to power supply will hold up with those components. Another question I had is if the 440 is a quiet graphics card and, if not, what card you guys would recommend for a sub 100 quiet graphics card. 

Lastly, if their are any other problems with the build, if you could bring them up as it would help me quite a lot when I build this system at the end of the summer.

on the video card that will be a big

DO NOT WANT!

this PSU has better amp ratings

this mother board will be better for around the same price, a bit cheaper actually

this motherboard is as good for way cheaper

if you can afford it, this GPU will be a quantum leap for the 440, I've used this before and it maxes out skyrim at 1080 at full 60FPS

now if you get the cheaper motherboard with the same functionality then you should be able to sqeuse the 560SE in, if you don't NEED 2 PCI-E slots then you can go even cheaper, if you are going to overclock the CPU, I highly recomend getting a CPU cooler

hmmm, I always thought that corsair had really good power supplys. I guess I was mistaken? Thanks for the input as always gigabuster! What gpu would you recommend then?

Also what do you mean but "edit this post"

all munufactuars make at least one crappy product no matter how reputable they are, cosair has nice stuff on the higher end while rose well has nice stuff on the lower end, I've been using they're products for 3 years and over 20 builds, they haven't failed me yet

also I don't know if you've ever done a rebate before but it takes 10 weeks to get one and they deduct like $8 for shipping per rebate

Say, gigabuster what do you do for a living? 20 builds means you must be a computer repair guy or IT guy or something? Thanks for the advise too! The corsair ps was a lot cheaper though with the 20 dollars off pcpartpciker showed me. Also due to your obvious vast knowledge of computer builds, do you know of any graphics cards that are under 75 dollars that are quiet and capable of running high end games at at least medium settings? Thanks for all the help.

I'll post one here in a sec, and no, if I'm not unemployed I've either working at a fastfood fried chicken joint for minimum wage, quality inspector for air bag parts at a factory, or rachet strapping 32,000 pound aluminum coils to rail cars

the 22nd I start being a call rep for verison, thats the closest I've gotten for a tech job, how do I build so many computers?  I build and fix computers and only charge enough money for the gas for the trip and a meal, then the people tell their friends and family, and they tell everyone from their brother to your mother about me, and that's why I fix computers 3 counties away and give advice on the internet

how am I good at this, college?  no I dropped out to help pay for my fathers surgery which he unfountunatly did not get to get, I didn't do too well in high school so they wanted me to take 2 years of remedial classes and a year of college before they would let me take any tech classes, in highschool the A+ class was alway full so I never got to take it, but I made damn sure I took the 20 non related classes that involved the tech teacher.

they were AV classes, dreamweaver, photoshop, stuff like that, didn't directly help know computer stuff but got me used to using them, it was in a tech class that my friend uses a N64 emulator to play a game, that blew my 14 year old mind, I wanted to do that but all I had was a 7 year old computer with windows ME on it, so I tried to make it faster, thought unessary win32 files were bogging it down and needed the free space so I start with those, I had to, no money to buy better computer or parts, only hand me downs were available

needless to say I broke a lot of shit to make things faster cheap, but I also had to learn how to fix those things I broke, because I had no money to get new working ones

for modern hardware I was on newegg.com on ALL my free time in any tech classes comparing products, reading reviews, asking tech friends and teachers, didn't have internet at all at home so thats the only resouce, about a year and a half ago I got internet for the first time, between my friends, overclock.net, Razethewrold/tekSyndicate and newegg I've learned even more

I was a kid in the sticks and graduated highschool with a 2.1 GPA, you don't have to be a genius to know computers, like anything, you just need dedication

"I'm no genius, I just break a lot of shit that I have to fix"

 

now that my life story is over, Masskilla has a XFX 5770 he wants to sell for around that price, XFX has a double lifetime warranty, that means he has a lifetime warranty and anybody he sells it to has a lifetime warranty, and if it ever shits out, they will get you a card or equal or GREATER value, I'm using one of his XFX 5770s he had in crossfire and the thing runs everything nicely, depending on resolution you should be able to run things on high settings

i had a 60 dollard rose well psu 2 years ago lasted 3 months and it was drawed by power either

8

cosair is not with out its flaws too, every brand has a few PSUs that go out

Quite a story there giga, helps me appreciate my life better. Thanks for the advise on the gpu too. I wanna go into a career with computer hardware but dont really know where to start. Cant wait to build my first computer at the end of the summer If i have the funds :/

 

Also giga, do you happen to have a steam id? mines is {JM}SmirnoffVodka    it would be nice if you could add me :)

I have a lepa now 500 watt runs everything fine fx6100 560ti

11

well its always important to not only ask, is this faster, but why is it faster, thats what I've done, if you want a tech job then stay in school, get various experiences, try to get tech related jobs, even if it means working for an evil organization such as best buy, I however am not getting into the hardware field, I'm going to be a video game DEV so I haven't been trying too hard to get one

How does a HD7770 (GHz Edition?) perform compared to GTX 560 SE?

-EDIT-

@ ~1200mhz Core/Shader clock it looks pretty solid, and drivers may have improved since Guru3Ds review. Did not beat the GTX 560 (non-Ti), but pretty damn close when overclocked.

13

yes i have the 577o

14

Yea, the 6770 proves to be a great card, I guess ill just save up a little more. Maybe Ill just build this after my birthday where Ill then have around 650 dollars. The problem with that is that I have to wait even LONGER. (been waiting a year now).

15

Did anyone read my comment on the HD7770? :/

16

Yes, ruffe I looked into it and found it to bea tiny bit pricey for me, thanks for the suggestion though
