Hey all, :lol: .. I'm a first time builder, and I've learned alot in these last couple of days about hardware, and assembly of the computer. All thought I had advanced knowledge of computers otherwise, never really stepped on to the area of PCs. So anyway, I'm running the HP G71-340US, which is a pretty nice laptop. Not really a gaming laptop AT ALL. I manage to pull of 25fps-ish with absolutely no scenery or weather. But thats in like wilco aircraft. Don't get me started in the PMDG ^_^ . So, I have some friends @ ZNY ARTCC on VATSIM, that know a ton more than I do and I got some advice and one of them reccomended newegg, and I do not regret going there. So far my experience is great! Shipping should arrive here in a day or three :rolleyes: . But my ram/wifi pci adapter/ anti-static wrist strap are in a different shipping plan. But aside from the RAM its not depedent on that package's arrival. But anyway, I was wondering about some ideas of how my PC will do!
Specs:
- AMD FX-6300 AM3+ 3.5ghz
- MSI Radeon 6570 HD 1GB
- 1.5 TB Seagate HD (More info here)
- Raidmax 600w PSU
- Raidmax Helios (4fans preinstalled,1 optional side one)(More info here)
- Mushkin 8GB RAM( None of my friends heard of it, but I was told by many "RAM is RAM")
- GIGABYTE|GA-970A-D3 AM3+
All in a $500 budget
Eventually I'll update the graphic card, but my friend whos in college for hardware(currently going to cti school) approved anything in the 6k series.
Just looking to get few more minds in this...
Thanks for any comments,
Jimmy.
P.S Planning to overclock CPU from anywhere to 3.6-4.0, Pretty sure my cooling can handle that, telling me otherwise would be nice.
Thanks!!! :lol: :lol:
