waaa i soo jelous

upgrade options for that build are wide open,you can add another hd5850,add more rams,swap for a 6core core i9 when it's available etc

you just need to have the cash for it [and it seems like you have lots of it]

which color u like ...green or red..
2card is great ...if u wan latest card grab hd5850 or hd 5870 or waiting 3xxsiri card form nvidia

errm... sorry to bother u guys with my super noob question...

will the choice of ram affect the oc-ability of an i7 920 processor?

example: 3 GB of kvr 1333mhz vs 3gb of kingston hyper X 1600 mhz.

actually it does if you intend to oc the 920 heavily [like more than 4ghz].but,if you're only intending for 3.5ghz+-,the normal rams would do fine

Oh, so don't have prob at all. Did you guys upgrade yours too?

most of us upgrade our pc too.but only a few of us have i7 pc.i only use pentium dual core and hd4850 [no money,still a high schooler]

Me also a high-schooler. 15 mah.

slow 2 bro... jangan tamak ..but u spec ..boleh tahan...can play latest games ..maaa ..

Yeah2.

i'm very happy with my pc already.i'm having loads of fun playing games on this pc.

anyways,zeckt,the hd5850 are still not sold yet.you have to wait about 2 weeks for it to become available here

Nvm, plan to buy it on Nov. Coz still ave PMR. next week. WAO

I'm on :

E6600
Gigabyte DQ6 rev 1.0
A couple of HDDs.
Radeon x1950 Pro.
PSU - forgot
Casing cap ayam.

I think I might need to upgrade my Mobo and GFX. Any recommendations?

prices should stabilize then.but,you do know how to assemble the pc right?if you don't the shop which you buy the pc from can assmeble it for you.[most of the time it's f.o.c but sometimes you have to pay a small amount]

Outdated?

Maybe 1k for both items. Or I could leave my mobo as it is .. and only upgrade my gfx .. any recommendation?

lazy to read review.

I think my PSU is Enermax 525W or something. Forgot. Need to check as I'm the office at the moment.

Added on September 28, 2009, 7:15 pm@boxsystem,imo,just use the board.you can get hd5850 for rm950 with that budget and psu,it's faster than a gtx285.

or you could get sell your e6600,get faster cpu and a gtx275 [rm760] or a mid range,yet to be launched hd5000 cards [juniper]

but ..dont play2 with overclock ...it will burn u proc ..mobo..
u need batter cooler cpu .better psu ..
and yg paling penting...kena jaga airflow ..system..

@Racerx

thx for the help... cuz i'm really tight on budget. hav to choose kvr 1333 cuz it's wayyy cheaper than kingston hyperx 1600 mhz.

gonna use the $$ i save from ram to upgrade GPU.
