Solved Making a new Tower

[SlasherIT]

Really? So you think I am ready to start ordering the stuff?

 

[Zepher]

yep.

 

[SlasherIT]

Could you try to find me a motherboard without the graphics card in it, but everything else exactly the same?

 

[ignatzatsonic]

There isn't one EXACTLY the same, but this is close:

Newegg.com - ASUS M4A79XTD EVO AM3 AMD 790X ATX AMD Motherboard

Hey,

I need the following in a motherboard:

Core Unlocker
Easy OC
USB 3.0
HDMI
SATA 6 GB/s

Anything else I can find for cheaper price? I don't give a crap about the built-in Radeon HD4250, as it won't work in conjunction with the Geforce GT 440 I am getting.

Also, how can I get WLAN on this tower?

 

[ignatzatsonic]

Here are 72 AMD boards with HDMI, beginning at 59.99. Page through them and find your features.

[SlasherIT]

Dude, can you help me find out how I could put WLAN on my build?

Also, my RAM runs at a default of 1600MHz, but the motherboard I have says it supports the following Memory Standard: DDR3 2000(O.C.) / 1333 / 1066. 1600 is not listed though, so is it possible to run the RAM with this motherboard at 1600MHz or no?

 

[SlasherIT]

Anyone?

Hey,

I need the following in a motherboard:

1. Core Unlocker
2. Easy OC
3. USB 3.0
4. HDMI
5. SATA 6 GB/s

Anything else I can find for cheaper price? I don't give a crap about the built-in Radeon HD4250, as it won't work in conjunction with the Geforce GT 440 I am getting.

Also, how can I get WLAN on this tower?

1. Unless the manufacturer removed it, all AMD boards with the 710/790/850 southbridge have this, it may just have a different name (UCC, ACC, etc).

2. Newegg.com - ASUS M4A87TD/USB3 AM3 AMD 870 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 AMD Motherboard

3. Don't rely on software to overclock, even if it is from the board maker. learn how to do it in the bios.

3. Can't get a board with HDMI without it having the onboard video. Besides, the GT 440 you're looking at has a HDMI port.

5. See #2

As for WLAN, pick your price and how you want it in the computer,

What Audio device and LAN device make is included in the motherboard you specified? Btw forget it, I'm gonna stick with my current motherboard choice. But can you answer this question its important:

My RAM runs at a default of 1600MHz, but the motherboard I have says it supports the following Memory Standard: DDR3 2000(O.C.) / 1333 / 1066. 1600 is not listed though, so is it possible to run the RAM with this motherboard at 1600MHz or no?

It will be fine- been quite awhile since I have looked at that stuff but your actual ram speed is determined by (if I remember correctly) your cpu multiplier and your fsb (front side bus) for example: an increase of either (maybe just fsb-my own memory problems-lol) will raise your cpu speed (and your mem speed) --overclocking--this will make your system unstable- to compensate for the instability your cpu and maybe your memory voltages are then raised which brings stability but also HEAT- if heat were not the enemy then every computer out there would be running twice as fast. the right combo for YOUR system needs trial and error- do ALOT of reading about overclocking before trying it-

This was a bit simplified as mem overclocking like gpu overclocking is a bit of a different subject-----This is confusing enough if you don't already know it....

The real short story is your choice looks to be a good one.......yay!

EDIT: for a wireless card I would just get the same brand as your router- while not a requirement it may make setup easier- my linksys router has a button to enable an easy setup with security when using my PCI linksys card- works great- again not required but easy and secure as I can make it.

If you can spring for the dough, an SSD as a boot drive would make the whole thing seem a million times faster. If not, consider it as your best upgrade option down the road.

One thing you might want to do is tell us what you plan on using the computer for. it's easier to give advice when you know what the user plans to do with it.

Here is some RAM rated for the same speed as your board.
Newegg.com - Crucial Ballistix sport 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 Desktop Memory Model BL2KIT25664BA1339
It's $2.00 cheaper as well so can buy a quart of beer to consume during your build

 

[stormy13]

Something to ponder with regards to the ram speed,

VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING AMD AM3 CPU's and RAM SPEEDS

 

[SlasherIT]

Lolz at $2 less, I'll stick with my current RAM choice. Thanks for the facts bill. Btw I am not gonna buy an SSD, right now they are too expensive, I'll probably get one later on if they get cheaper. Lol, for $40, I can get an 8GB SSD, or for $35 I can get a 500GB Seagate Barracuda. Which one would you get? Seems obvious...

 

[SlasherIT]

Stormy13, thanks for that news, I am gonna switch my RAM to the one 1foxracing suggested. Why AMD, why?!!??!!!??!!

 

[SlasherIT]

Ok guys, I have updated my build again, and changed the RAM, and added Wi-Fi and a DVD Burner/Reader. The Build:

Your good to go with those parts listed. I did look over everything you gave NewEgg links to and they are showing your DVD burner as "out of stock"
Newegg.com - ASUS Black 24X DVD+R 8X DVD+RW 12X DVD+R DL 24X DVD-R 6X DVD-RW 12X DVD-RAM 16X DVD-ROM 48X CD-R 32X CD-RW 48X CD-ROM 2MB Cache SATA 24X DVD Burner - Bulk - CD / DVD Burners

Just pick another OEM model as they are all pretty close to the same price.
Enjoy that quart of beer now with the $2.00 saved on the RAM.

If I only had $35 budgeted for the HD right now it would be.

Like I said before, it'll make a nice upgrade down the road.
