Another build

[ICIT2LOL]

Have completed (except for some experimenting) a i5 2500 on a Gigabytye H67A-UD3H-B3 mobo.

Now I found the whole experience ADDICTIVE and would like to do another only with a AMD setup.

Have asked around and had no replies so can anyone suggest an AMD build comparable to what I did.

Just an everyday machine no gaming as such or O'C. Main things I want to know is the CPU and mobo specs I would need -the rest I can pick out except for some advice on a GPU (not too expensive).

Notice the chat re Bulldozer - worth waiting for and again the mobo that it would need.

Well here's a very comparable (at least price wise) core to start with.
Newegg.com - AMD Phenom II X6 1090T Black Edition Thuban 3.2GHz 6 x 512KB L2 Cache 6MB L3 Cache Socket AM3 125W Six-Core Desktop Processor HDT90ZFBGRBOX

Thanks Maguscreed

Thanks Magu At last I have a starting point - I'll have to get it out here because Newegg don't ship to Australia direct.

Stilll much appreciated!!

I did this AMD x6 1100T CPU back in Jan.

It turned out real nice, so I am just getting the parts together to build a Twin to it shortly.

Thanks Doc

Hey Doc just built the SB as i said and upped the RAM myesreday to 8Gb and the difference = whoa!!! settle down Dobbin lol!!

That build looks real nice only I think I'll stick to my Coolermaster Centurion II - oh boy such a fabulous case for venting, and neat like I'm a bit old fashioned as you may have guessed.

Thanks to both of you fellows will send some pics when I get a minute - all three machines running at the moment and the old fella is trying to keep up!! lol!!

Yep, although many cannot order from Newegg, it's a great reference site.

It's hard to say if it's worth waiting for without any solid info, but since you don't have a pressing need for a new rig (aside from scratching an itch ) - I'd wait.

Then again who knows when exactly it will be available. It depends how long you can hold off that itch.

Computer builder's addiction is real and can destroy your life!

See if you can find a support group.
"Hello, my name is TVeblen and I am a computer building addict".

 

[Maguscreed]

I once built an entire floor of an office building worth of cheap machines.
It robbed the joy out of it for me for many years.

The addiction only seems viable when you are dealing with high grade components on your own systems.

My addiction was cured by government intervention!

Our town transfer station added an electronics trailer - townsfolk drop off their old TVs, electronics, and computers for proper disposal.

I peruse the trailer each weekend and often find some decent older PCs. P4s, Core Duos, Celerys, Athlons. Take them home, clean them up, replace defective parts from other cannibalized systems, clean up the OS (XP normally- usually pathetically trashed), and get them running tip top.

Then I donate them to local organizations or people I know. They are usually happy to get them and they certainly do not need gaming rigs- they're just doing word processing, accounting, web and email stuff.

I putz around with them when I feel like it and it keeps me out of trouble. I don't find myself jonesing to build something and shelling out $1200 for a new rig every time a new line of video cards or processor comes out!
