Glad to see someone agrees that ASUS ROCKS the socks off other mobos, reliable, feature rich, and robust with overclocking. I will dabble in that. This mobo allows the ram up to 1333mhz, and can overclock to 1600 or 2000. Its crossfire ready, so better work with my nvidia card ok.
The processor is a good one, just the i7 9--'s beating it in most.. err all tests. It can be overclocked massively (if need be) though i doubt i need to, it has features that allows it to take over the world or something. The list is endless. Beats all the i5's and most of the i7 8--'s in most tests. Even i built my ex a pc with intel in, i never used intel lol. Now is the time for amd!
I was thinking to get 1600mhz ram im not too keen on having the mobo at its limits, boo. it will o/c to 2ghz i think knowing me to get a bunch of redundancy errors, and dropped data. crashes, stalls and mismatches etc. Must be brave. 1333 is poo. my old pc was 3gb 800mhz
I asked a mate at work what his card was, he said ati 5770. So because hes a retard im not getting that card. Shame really i was looking forward to it aswell. Instead i'll be getting an nvidia card, with a particular branding becuase they make it overclocked and the likes. For the money, i get more. Thanks again bc,
www.guru3d.com was very useful in all aspects of putting my machine together.
I will be getting another 500gb and will be once again attempting to have them on raid. Otherwise i'll be stuck with them two. Would rather have two than one anyway. I bet those tb hds are longer to spin up and load. who knows. Maybe in the future i'll be getting a solid state drive. i got sata 6gb/s on that mobo. might help.
I wish i didn't break my old pc, could have salvaged the psu! If i didnt want a cable on it, i'd simply unplug it. I get this cheap PSU and its got loads of scraggly cables everywhere. Then from time to time im gonna be hearing tickety tick tick tick tick tick tick PWANG wawawawawawawawa when the plugs get caught in my ill mounted fans.
This budget cuts out the mouse, the mat, keyboard, and medusa. Al could add up another hundred or so. Even if i got them first i wouldn't use them till i built this, just not possible.
*reviews system*
Yes, the logitech mx518 has two fans right here on this forum. This will be my 3rd
Tried a couple razer mice, didnt like em much, never got used to any of them.
Also my 3rd set of medusa's. damn that EXCESSIVELY long cable that has tendencies to be ran over by my chair before i walk off with it still on my head. or trip over it. or fall asleep with it on and get all tangled up. Anyway, thats bad. But still good. Rather longer than shorter any day.
I had a saitek eclipse first one i think? i dunno, both pretty much the same. I want something exactly similar to that. I'm not a fan of 'gaming' keyboards with the rubber keys, and the odd shaped buttons, but i do like shortcut keys, and media player controls, so i'll be hunting. Was thinking logitech g15. I've just done a search of that, and one has turned up here:
http://digital-switch.com/index.php?dispatch=products.view&product_id=3769¤cy=gbp£16.46 new. haha that has to be a mistake im buying it NOOOOOOW. Will let you guys know whats what when it arrives!
Thanks guys!
EDIT: Bollocks i do need windows 7. Says under £100, but i can only put it on one machine. So when i format it wont work. I am not paying for that.
EDIT2: On second thoughts this looks like a scam. boo. £11 for a 10gb ipod? Do they exist?? £64 for a 32" panasonic. whatever. not ordering.
