Ok I changed it again.

• Operating System: Windows 7, or WinXP (Or both with partitioning)
• Processor: AMD Dual Core 3.0 GHz
• Ram: 3 GB (After update)
• Graphics Card: GeForce 9800
• Hard Drive: 640 GB
• Power supply: 400-500W

[saltydog]

Perhaps a 750W power supply, and consider the GTX275..

[firestar12]

Ok, about that graphics card, I would if I had money!

seems a good system that but i will had 750W power supply so you have more to go on if you upgrade later

Not sure what kind I would call it.
Ok I changed it yet again.

• Operating System: Windows 7, or WinXP (Or both with partitioning)
• Processor: AMD Dual Core 3.0 GHz
• Ram: 3 GB (After update)
• Graphics Card: GeForce GTS 250
• Hard Drive: 640 GB

but watt kind of mother board? now PC without it

[firestar12]

I know that, I already said I was not sure what it was called. Let me see...
It is a

GIGABYTE GA-MA770T-UD3P AM3 AMD 770 ATX AMD Motherboard

[TNeves]

Well, I don't agree again with the graphic card, choose something like GTX275, GTS 250 it's nothing really new, is a rebadged 9800 GTX+ with some chances.

If you are not going to use SLI, a 600W PSU is enough, like this CORSAIR HX-620W MODULAR, for example.

A possible choice:

CPU: AMD PHENOM II X4 955
Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-MA790XT-UD4P  
RAM: GSKILL KIT 4GB DDR3 1333MHZ NQ
Graphic Card: Nvidia GTX275 (BFG, EVGA, XFX)
PSU: Corsair HX-620W

With this system you are not able to use SLI, this only supports Crossfire (dua ATI cards).

[firestar12]

As I said again, I am not looking to spend that much on this, maybe that for my next PC but for this, all that should be good enough. This is not all new hardware I understand, but I want to start simple.

[Capt. Matt]

here the ases p5q pro is a good motherboard I think check her out

[firestar12]

I already found a motherboard that is compatible with all my parts.

And you are saying? If you are wondering I did not base my PC off yours in any way. To be honest, I couldn't really care less...

[Minime]

I'd also like what was the point in your reply Llamalord, your setup doesn't look a bit like what Shane is planning to build.

[Capt. Matt]

Ohhh I know I know He is bragging about his new PC 

[TJK]

I think he meant bay one instead to build

[firestar12]

Or maybe he is just bragging about his PC being so much better than mine...
Well to be honest, I don't like that, this is my first PC, sorry if I don't use expert hardware, but I am trying my hardest and at least it will run ShipSim.

[Minime]

Right Anyway good luck on the computer Shane.

I can only say one thing, and that is: bad choise!

I don't think that building your own pc is a good idea.
As I said before, I did it a few times and will never do it again.

It is much nicer to receive a pc wich works nice (like my Dell) then having a bunch of problems by constructing your own pc. If you don't really know what you are doing.
I don't really think that firestar is up to the job, biceaus in the beginning he was talking about a 5.5gHz processor. And for only a little bit more money you can have a pc, wich is tested, wich is perfectly balanced.

And about the software: if you are handsome enough to construct your own pc, it should be easy to remove the software you don't like without a lot of problems.
I think dell is great quality, good price and easy to use.

The pc that I build myself, is at the moment, running great.
But I had some trouble to get it that way.
And it allso costed me extra money to get it working great.

While ups delivered my laptop one week after I ordered it and everything was on it and worked great.
No extra costs, no headaches.

A little bit of that, and a little bit I was just in the mood to spark some chatter in this topic!

Is something that depends in one thing, what do you know about computers.

My computer was assembled by me, and all the components were chosen by me, now worries, no hassle. Why? I knew what I was doing.

Pre-assembled computers are a very good choice for those that don't have the means, or knowledge to choose the parts and assemble it.

This is just my humble opinion.

[Sam]

Pre-assembled computers are a very good choice for those that don't have the means, or knowledge to choose the parts and assemble it.

I agree a 100%.

Only do it unless you really know what you are doing.
Biceaus it would be a shame to spend a lot of money and end in frustration.
(Like I have)

That is why I won't do it again unless I really know shure that it will work tip top.
You could buy some computer magazines (if you REALLY want to build it yourself) biceaus some of them have some systems in it every month (low budget, midrange and banging machines) wich will probably work great.
