powerful PC for less than 1200$?

[Dr.Scoo]

well My PC is old enough, the Prostreet is not playable,pes2008 is almost not playable,
i need a pc for 1200$ or less.
i have a screen, speakers,keyboard and a mice.
i saw pcandparts and checked these parts:

• 2.66 GHz - E6750 1333MHz/4M Core 2 Duo
• (2X1GB KIT) kingstone
• HD not less than 250GB sata2
• DVD RW
• Geforce 8800 gts 320Mb or more,but not less.
• case???
• Motherboard????

drop out ur suggestion plzzz.

loooooool man, i think ur gone crazy!
u dont need a 8800:P get a 8600gts and stick to the cpu and others, while u dont need any fancy case or motherboard.

I think you should focus on the CPU , RAM size and speed, VGA, to me all the others are secondary level even the mobo and hard disk.

Before u buy a computer u should note that a faster CPU clock speed may not deliver the best performance . for example a 1.86 Duo Core2 is faster than 2 Ghz Intel Duo core2 becuase it has a larger L2 cache and faster FSB(front side bus).

instead of E6750 get a Q6xxx it's the same in clock speed but the quad has a 4 core instead of 2 & 8Mb L2 cache instead of 4 Mb ...el fari2 bel money between the 2 is less than 100 $ or around.

i prefer :

• 2.4 GHz - Q6600 1066MHz/8M Core 2 Duo ( or higher but i don know the num)
• 4 or 2 Gb DDR2 667MHz

This will cost around 800$(including HD +DVD) ...choose the vga card & the coolest case ...
thats an excellent budget u can choose the best

i don't want a fancy case or MotherBoard.
but the 8800 is for sure.i know that if i got the 8800,i won't be sorry.

same here

i know but the quad core mentioned cost 286$ and the core 2 duo that i choose is 200$.(fi fare2)

86 $ is ntn compared 2 wht ur gonna pay. invest for the future

[M|ch]

isnt the Geforce 8800 GTS 640mb and not 320 mb ?!

well, u r right.the quad core is more powerful than the dual one in benchmark like SISOFT,everest,he is as twice as powerful as the core 2 duo.but guess wat in gaming Q6600 isn't so powerful,well it is but the same as E6750,and the E6750 is sometime more powerful.
im a gamer so why to spend 286$ to buy a CPU that give me same performance as a 200$.

isnt the Geforce 8800 GTS 640mb and not 320 mb ?!

no there is a 320 Mg of it.

[Kingroudy]

for a cpu, i favour the the E6850 clocked @ 3.0ghz
this is something that you are not gonna feel sorry about for SURE.
it is a 100$ more expensive than the E6750 BUT remember, it is faster than the core 2 extreme (1000$ one) X6800, and for sure more effective than the E6750, and it deliver HIGHER performance in ALL games compared with the quad core.

for the memory, u dont have to buy a kit, u can stick to 2 ddr2 667 mhz, those are cheap.
for the vga, 8800?? ok, but that's a 400$
a motherboard with 1333mhz bus costs more than a 100$
a 250gb is not that expensive.. around 100$
dvd writer is something like 50$ for the best choice, a case with a good psu.. something like 50$ too. remember that you need a ups

[Dr.Scoo]

lets do some calculation's:
1st of all i'll stick to my screen,speakers,keyboard,and mice.
according to pcandparts:

1. CPU 2.66 GHz - E6750 $200.00
2. WD 250GB SATAII $69.00
3. Asus Geforce 8800GTS 320MB DDR3 Dual w/TV $405.00
4. Pioneer DVR-212D 18X DVDRW - Dual Layer Black SATA $42.00

these are for sure
here is a motherboard cheap and support 1333Mhz bus speed:
Intel DP35DP w/Sound+SATA+Firewire+1GB Lan& PCI Express(DDR2) Supports 1333Mhz CPUs (well its cheap and support ddr2 and1333mhz) any other choice tell me plzz 110$
lets say there cost:908$(w/ TVA)
i still need a case and a PSU and a ups
