New Case!
« on: January 20, 2011, 12:09:03 AM »
Only built one machine before, and I just got a new case for next to nothing. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811103026. If anyone can suggest what to put in it, running on a budget of 700-800 dollars

Well, my boss seems to hate me and might be getting the boot. So saving up all of my current paychecks for school... :o

Edit: Also, considering that these are the specs of my old comp (laptop)
Microprocessor           2.00 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor P7350
Microprocessor Cache   3 MB L2 Cache
Memory                   4096 MB
Memory Max           8192MB
Video Graphics           NVIDIA GeForce 9200M GS NB9M-GE
Video Memory            Up to 2047MB (256MB dedicated)
Hard Drive               320 GB (5400 rpm)

How much should I expect to have my mind blown?

You should see a huge difference between a 460GTX and some entry level laptop GPU. The CPU is also a lot more competitive then your old one. That being said you should be able to max all but shadows in AH2 I would imagine.

And how far with shadows? Also, would adding a second vc  later make it so I can do that?

I'm not positive really since I don't own a 460GTX myself and there a lot of other variables in play such as what resolution you'll be running a monitor, etc. Someone who owns one may be able to shed more light on the matter but if not that's half the fun of getting a new toy, trying it out. :D

P.S. Adding a second card should, but the best cost/performance route is to buy the best single PCB GPU you can. Either way I don't see you having any complaints considering the huge difference of a 9200M to a 460GTX.

you should max your settings with shadows at 4k+.  but if you are willing to get two vcs the get a 465 or higher, will save you money unless you are planing to have 3 monitors.

good question, hopefully one of the tech guys can help us.  ati cards can handle 3 or more, but nvidia only 2 per card.  then again if you get an ati card, then you have to get the right mobo. in other words, we need TD back :pray.

also just noticed the cpu I listed oc pretty good but some how intel limits it.  the "k" version costs about 40 bucks more and it oc a lot more.  http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115072

reading at the review on the sandy bridge it looks like oc the cpu changed, made it easier according to some.  but I havent really searched how.  I am upgrading my system and this is what i had in mind.

  I have a MSI p45 platinum MB with dual pny gtx 470's running 3 23 inch monitors, I use a 850 watt supply and the cards are sli'd. I looked on the nvidea website and they say that I had to go triple sli but using the softh program I am using the triple version.

That mb you selected with the dual 465 vid cards should handle the triple screen no problem.

what cpu mobo did you get?  this would probably be the starting point then build from there.

Wouldn't touch that Rosewill PSU with a 10ft poll. I'd suggest something from OCZ, Corsair, Seasonic,(if you can find em yet)PC Power & Cooling if it's not to late to switch your PSU choice.
