[M_2NR]

WELLL???? lol

how the setup going for it?

[Chimera]

it still in the box lol. sorting out the set of cellphone parts that came

if i get time, that asus screen coming out of the box bout 3-4 in the morning

^^ What model Asus? I'm buying a 23" next month. Asus and Dell IPS screens are my two choices. Give us a lil review when you start using it nah.

[[X]~Outlaw]

I've read rumors that the engineering samples of bulldozer falls behind Sandy Bridge which is why it kept getting delayed. If it can compete with SB it defiantly won't be able to keep up with Ivy Bridge.

I really hope AMD is able to keep the pressure on Intel though...competition means better prices for us

[roromelie]

thanks mate

[jeevdude199]

just got my asus screen

how u bring it down? skybox? if yes how much dey charge u??

[Chimera]

yeah skybox, i didn't bring the screen alone. brought it with about 50 lbs of other stuff so i can't really estimate charges.

but if I HAD to guesstimate, i would say a 300 in shipping and no taxes/duties.

[jeevdude199]

ohh u dont have to pay taxes on a pc monitor??

[nareshseep]

guys what is a good monitor for gaming ?
Looking for a 22-25" with no blurring when playing games like need for speed.

[M_2NR]

no tax no duty regularly on monitors. Once it has a tv tuner, prepare to get your ass raped.

Ended up paying close to 1000$ to clear a P2570HD. Had big and bold monitor written on it but it also has a tuner.

I learn my lesson deh... PM RapToR next time

[Ronaldo95163]

Steups...A monitor with a TV tuner gives it the right to be called a TV and charged as a TV? That's madness!

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

^ so what makes a TV a TV?

[Chimera]

Chinese workers.

[Ronaldo95163]

^ so what makes a TV a TV?

If i have a tablet with a SIM card tray does that make it a cell phone?

[Chiney]

FCUK ALLYUH SPAM!!


so...im building back a rig

case will be the last thing
focusing on mobo and cpu

it does not have to be extreme high end either, cuz games run on max settings without having to buy a 400+ US CPU eh

[Ronaldo95163]

Something with an i7 990x or the P67 FTW from EVGA with an i7 2600k

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

^ so what makes a TV a TV?

If i have a tablet with a SIM card tray does that make it a cell phone?

if the SIM card is not data-only and you can make calls with it via the cellular system on the device then yes, it is a cell phone.

that is irrelevant though - a TV tuner is essentially what makes a TV a TV and not a monitor

Duane 3NE 2NR for educator of the year, but i have to also agree with your statements X2

400+ US CPU?

you getting ah i7 2600k for about 300 or a 5i 2500k for about 100$ less. I would say right now a 5i 2500k is the best bang for your buck CPU.

^^The 1090T very best. O/C @ 3.5ghz all cores on stock voltage and about 4.2ghz on air @ 1.45V.

Even at stock it blazes.

[Chiney]

figured!

might think twice on the board though..
from what i am seeing, its just rice really.. no need for all those things

[HCCA]

^^Yup. Using mine on a MSI 870-G45 i got locally and it works very well. That am3+ board nice but way too much unnecessary features.

This AM3 one is a nice board cheap: http://www.amazon.com/Asus-M4A87TD-EVO- ... 945&sr=8-2
