Help Me Blow Money On A New Pc Build!

[SS8_Gohan]

final specs of what i got

i7 920

Asus P6T mobo

6gb Kingston 1600mhz RAM

1TB WD Caviar Black

Gigabyte 1gb 4670

Antec Sonata III case, with EarthWatts 500W PSU

22xRW DVD burner

i think that's it. Bought a Logitech diNovo keyboard from umart, $59. Will buy some entry level 5.1 speakers next, prob Logitech.

Friends in HK will hopefully hunt down a Wacom Intuos4 6 x 9 tablet for me. And then i'll prob just wait for dell to get some U2410's in at their outlet and grab a couple

I've got the Intuos 4... top piece of gear

apparently a lot cheaper in HK? they're around $500-$550 here, so i'm interested to see what the HK prices are like

[DRD-00F]

I could get that one for $450

I think that's the one I got. it's about the length of my keyboard.

They probably are a lot cheaper in HK... I'm not usually one to care about price that much though.

[SS8_Gohan]

yeah, just checked staticice, some mid $400's - the medium one, 6 x 9

well i don't know yet exactly how much cheaper... i may end up buying locally if it's not worth the hassle

[DRD-00F]

RRP on it is $528 amyway, so anything less then that and you should be happy

i3/i5/i7/i9 - You think something would be the same like the motherboards they're based on.

i3/i5 is bugdet desktop/workstation

i7/i9 is higher end/enthusiast

Think of it as R33 GTS-t and GTR. Based on the same chassis, however pretty much totally different in parts.

Thanks mate, having never seen or read about these new cores I've got a lot of catching up to do.

Found this table which will be useful to many :

anyone in vic got a legit win 7 ultimate 64bit i could borrow? inark said he had a copy but i can't get a hold of him

system is waiting for an o.s.

[R31Nismoid]

borrow a legit copy... lol...

[SS8_Gohan]

serial number issues?

[R31Nismoid]

There is no way anyone will give you their legit copy and have you use it.

[SS8_Gohan]

ok... ni said he had a legit copy... maybe he was joking

anyone have a non-legit copy i could borrow then?

[DivHunter]

HMW32-VJ46D- hey wait a minute.

[Gazzilla]

dont waste your money on ultimate, Professional is fine.

Just grab a key from warez & get a win 7 loader.

Worked for me, has it running on both my main PC & laptop & windows updateds fine.

EDIT: I don't think I have ever paid for a proper copy of OS ever, the only legit versions of windows I had were 95 & XP home which came with my 686 & intel P4 pre-bulid computers.
