So I'm probs going to buying all the components today.

Just one mote check. With the fx 4300 ang gtx560 ti I will be able to play bf3 and fracry3 all on high and max settings?

 

[Dude]

It will be closer to med and high, might be able to max some if you play a lower resolution.

thats not what i wanted to hear...... lol so what if i get the 6 core clocked at 3.9ghz? or do you think thats just because of the GPU that i cant run high/ultra settings?

 

[Quadrider10]

alright im just going to order all my parts

 

[Quadrider10]

alright so i was thinking about swapping the mobo with this one:
MSI 970A-G43 AM3+ AMD 970 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard - Newegg.com

and the ram with this one:
Newegg.com - SPECTEK by Micron Technology 4GB 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model ST4G3D160B

the ram im previsiously wanting to buy was clocked at 1333mhz 9 lag, while this ram is 1600mhz 11ms..... which one do you think is better?

i was also thinking about swapping the case to eaither this:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811192289 only is able to have 1 fan, but looks cool. (cooling issue)

or this one:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811353012 (cant get that other mobo listed ^^^ or the ram, but has better cooling)

what do you guys think?

or should i keep the current case, and just replace the MOBO and RAM
ordering today, so need to know asap.... or should i just keep everything the way it is?

 

[Dude]

The lower the latency on ram the better. 1600 is the sweet spot. With the motherboard you picked you can oc the ram yourself. The first case looks good, it will give you plenty of room.

quad you are going to enjoy gaming with a desktop way better than the laptop!!

lol ok but with only 1 exhaust fan and no intake fans, and no option to add intake fans, wont that get too hot inside especially at 4ghz?

and replace the RAM and mobo with my second choice or my first choice? i cant find any other ram because it just got to expansive.... so its eaither 1600mhz 11ms, or 1333 9ms.

 

[Quadrider10]

[Quadrider10]

for what it is, i think its excellent for what/how im going to be using it now. but i also think its VERY up gradable for the future.

 

[Dude]

Good job Quad, enjoy the new system!!

Good job Quad, enjoy the new system!!

thanks! lol but now that its a new build, and i have never fully built a PC before with just parts im going to need help with connecting the PSU stuff (mostly just the power cables etc) and getting first started up with like flashing BIOS and installing drivers.

 

[Dude]

We will be here. Read the motherboards manual!! After hooking it up, go to the motherboards site and download the drivers for your board. Use the latest video card driver form Nvidia. While you are waiting, google some pc building vids and watch. You will have no problems.

 

[Quadrider10]

thanks! lol

As far as playing those games on high. They will be at like someone here said. Med high. I have the GTX560ti and it does slow down at max settings. While visually I really can't see a big difference.

 

[Quadrider10]

mmmmm ok owelll for now its fine.... it will be playable at least hahahahah

 

[Quadrider10]

how do i put the PSU in? fan facing up or down?

 

[Dude]

Down

 

[Dude]

Now I'm upset, you didn't watch the video from post 53, at 23 minutes and a few seconds it covers that

 

[linnemeyerhere]

Actually if the rig is going anywhere near the floor or carpet then I'm a huge fan of up and not down. Either way it's not a deal killer. Wiring everything up is just a slow and steady process and thinking about the cable management at the same time. Understand that very few of us get it knocked the first time so allow you self the joy of the re-wire or partial re-wire.
