Need help for a new PC

[zagibu]

...[9-9-9-24 is a clock cycle, essentially how many times it goes through the ram until it gets kicked out, more = slower]...

No, they are delay values. Learn all about them here: http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/article/Understanding-RAM-Timings/26

okey well i made the order just now, hoping to get delivered next monday or tuesday. Ill make pics so u guys can see the whole package

And again, thanks alot for your help guys

Well I guess i'll just throw this out here since Jackie got his pc. Is a gtx 660 a worthwhile investment or should I just save up and get something like a 770 or 780? I'd rather not spend a lot of money though.

[zagibu]

Depends on what you have currently. It's a good card. The difference between 660 and 760 is between good and very good. If you have a semi-recent card, a 660 might not be worth it, but if your card is older than 2 years, it should be a nice upgrade.

[Rumblood]

GTX 660 is one of the best cards for the value. However, I would get at least the GTX 660 Ti (The Ti part makes a big difference), or the GTX 760.

Go though and look at different tests. Some games optimize for specific cards, etc., so you should look at a range of tests with the resolution closest to what you will be using.

[Jarold]

Yeah I have a crappy card which can barely run warband so it would be a major upgrade. Very nice link you gave Rumsblood it is really helpful. I am planning on getting a gtx 660 ti now but I've always wondered what does TI mean?

Congrats! Goes to show that you can still build a far superior machine for cheaper than you can buy an assembled inferior one

Wait you have a monitor without DVI socket?

Jackie mentioned this earlier

For the monitor i was planning to use my old one for a while and eventually buy a new one

A few years ago a lot of monitors only came with VGA. I'm sure he will switch to DVI or HDMI when he gets his new monitor.


Looks good Jackie! Thanks for sharing the finished pics.
