Consider using NCIX, because they may have price matching for their American side. I know for sure they do on the Canadian side..so they probably will on their American side...money saved is money earned baby

The mother board that you posted WILL NOT WORK WITH THAT VIDEO CARD because the MOBO has no pci-express x16 or 2.0 slot.

yea make sure its x16 and i wouldnt go with zotac either, you should consider ASUS
and i'd admonish you not to go with an AMD processor, i'd get an intel core 2 duo if its in your price range, you can get one for cheap or you might have to spend a little more, but you'll see the difference.

Doc · « **Reply #4 on:** January 12, 2010, 08:23:31 AM »

dood can’t see what proc you want to go with but if i was u i wouldn't go with that vid card. its a good card but for the money you should be able to get a 1gb radeon HD 4850 or a 1gb geforce GTS 250. these cards benchmark a lil better and are a lil cheaper. for processor dont worry too much, it is important but you will save money on AMD and it won’t affect your frame rate as much as you think. get a phenom X3 8750 black.... or if you are a lil short on cash get athlon II 2x 240 regor. corsair XMS is great ram for gaming, kingston hyper x and high end OCZ often have some good low latency stuff too but if you need mad value get some G. Skill. and if you are a cheapskate like me get A Data. now if you plan on doing some overclocking that is a different game.

p.s. jim is right that mobo is not gonna work. i wouldnt go mini ITX at least for a gaming rig....

are you trying to build a micro atx system? cause there are micro atx boards that have pci-e. obviously not that one. why don't you tell us what you're trying to do, and we can give you suggestions, also a price range of what you want to do is helpful.

doc is also correct on the video card, cause i'll sell you my old one $50 + shipping? I still have original packaging.

Im just trying to build a gaming machines I have no idea what a micro atx system is. Would a core duo processor be better than a quad core phenom though? Also I might have to find a new site to buy from cause all I saw on newegg was off brand shit for mobos.

pixiestyx · « **Reply #7 on:** January 12, 2010, 11:13:24 AM »

what do you think of those items? look them up on new egg for more info, but after reading and looking at reviews, and after you explained yourself, that's what i would do.

what is your budget? do you need a monitor?

pixiestyx · « **Reply #9 on:** January 12, 2010, 11:29:59 AM »

he said his budget is around 700 and he wants to buy a monitor, i was talking with him on steam chat, but he had to go to work, so i left this here for him docky poo

TastyTaste · « **Reply #10 on:** January 12, 2010, 12:10:12 PM »

if hes shooting for 700 then i'd suggest AMD all the way then, thought he was gonna spend a little more. AMD has more bang for the buck at the low end. Newegg has:

Asus Motherboard
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131363&Tpk=asus%20m4a79t%20deluxe

XFX GPU
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150438&cm_re=4890-_-14-150-438-_-Product

Corsair RAM
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145265&cm_re=corsair_dominator_4gb-_-20-145-265-_-Product

AMD CPU
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103692&cm_re=amd_phenom_ii_x4_965-_-19-103-692-_-Product

that totals to $740.00 assuming you dont need a new power supply which would increase the total by about 150.00 for a 750w ps

im bored as hell at work so i didnt mind researching that for you, you might also need a better cpu cooler and a different case.

pixiestyx · « **Reply #11 on:** January 12, 2010, 12:57:54 PM »

he needs a new psu and monitor, hence the stuff i put up.

Doc · « **Reply #12 on:** January 12, 2010, 02:06:08 PM »

case probably too.

pixiestyx · « **Reply #13 on:** January 12, 2010, 02:37:30 PM »

no, he said he has one, see, i've actually talked to him, you guys are behind.

TastyTaste · « **Reply #14 on:** January 12, 2010, 05:13:39 PM »

sorry there pixie didnt see the cart image, your results are pretty much the same as mine cept the motherboard and the graphics card.

Nightrider · « **Reply #15 on:** January 12, 2010, 09:58:39 PM »

Ya i have a huge case has plenty of room for bigger cards than it is currently using. Everything there looks good but I may go for a 24 inch 2ms monitor found one for 229 on newegg.

my brother just got this one, newegg doesn't have this deal so you would have to split up your order, but i can tell you it is worth it because this thing is fucking pretty. if i wasnt so cheap i would buy it today!

Doc · « **Reply #18 on:** January 13, 2010, 10:19:53 AM »

Nightrider · « **Reply #19 on:** January 13, 2010, 10:40:00 AM »

I'm not much of a used buyer. I normally like to get things new.

Rev. Jim Jones · « **Reply #21 on:** January 14, 2010, 01:46:06 AM »

Refurbished is OK if the product has a good warranty and the price is at-least 1/3 off of the original price

just saying, loosen up the grip on your pennies.
