[Dude]

Looking good Quad, your gaming will be better

If you`re happy with those parts, then go for it.

You should get 1 8 gig stick now so you can get the other stick later, no sense throwin money away.

And don`t forget you still have to get windows 7. or will you put XP on it ?

good point. lol. i can activate my old windows 7 1 more time, so im going to use that or i also have xp. idk which do you tink is better for just raw performance? 7 or xp?

DIYPC DIY-5823BK Black SECC ATX Mid Tower Computer Case with 1 x 80mm Fan - Newegg.com

changed case just because its cheaper

also what do you guys think about this cpu?
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103996

its $20 less and turbo speed is the same as the base speed on the 4300 and has a higher L3 cache too

 

[Dude]

You ask that on seven forums go with 7

 

[AddRAM]

As long as you can get the drivers for everything, XP will fly on that. If not W7 will be fast too.

A case for $17.99

:roflmao:

 

[Quadrider10]

lol yea its nothing fancy. after all it will be sitting under my desk. lol so what do you guys think about the FX-4100? should i go with that or just get the 4300?

I would add a second fan in the side panel of the case since you said it would be sitting under your desk. Increase the air flow thru

 

[Quadrider10]

This build totaled $230. I just remembered that I'm getting $100 from my YouTube earnings at the end if may. So I'm really only paying $130. Hahah shweet. So I'm going to get another stick of ram 8gb now and an extra fan and maybe the cooler master cooler.

 

[AddRAM]

Wow, I spent that much on my cpu alone.


Just get the new power supply as soon as you can.

 

[Quadrider10]

Does anyone know if that's an 80mm fan on the side pannel or a 120mm fan?

 

[AddRAM]

read the specs for it. Looks like an 80 to me.

 

[DocBrown]

I vote 80mm on the side panel, too.

 

[Quadrider10]

Specs don't say unless I'm reading it wrong. Is the rear fan upgradable to 120? Looks like it has holes tthat are just outside.

 

[DocBrown]

I just layed a 80mm fan on top of a 120mm fan (center to center) and the difference in the hole mounting screw spaces seems greater than what I see in the pic of the rear fan mounting of your case.

Alright so than its not 120. Alright I'll just buy another 80mm for the side.

 

[AddRAM]

The 1 on the side is defenitley an 80, the 1 in the baclk looks like you can put a 120 on it. So just buy 1 120 mm fan. If you have 1 just wait to be sure.

But it could be a 92 mm, so just wait.

I think I'm just gonna get an 80. Like how much of a different will 12mm on exhaust make? Also will that WiFi card work with the mobo?

 

[AddRAM]

If it`s a pci card and there`s a pci slot on the MB yes it will work.

Yep looks ok

Alright just wanted to double check. Too bad I don't have my router in my room lol. welp I'm only paying $140 out of pocket. Not bad for a weekend warrior PC. My first PC that I'm building and first AMD CPU.
