[Damian Henderson]

Damn, I was reading ex vat I think 914? Pretty over budget then

 

[Christopher Aponte]

784 euro's with 4870.

Think that's pretty good, no case though, but you could save money on HDD , but it's a good one. Dunno if Cris can spot any error's ( bit harder with Foreign language )

Can you check if that build includes Vat?, because if it does it's quite bit cheaper then the PC shop your recommending Cris ( 880 vs 784 euro's ) No case but can keep it under 800 euro's still, If that price don't include vat then it makes more sense. 100 euro's for the case is what adds it over 800 I think though? Maybe over kill on his budget with 100 euro case/?

 

[Damian Henderson]

Anyway will leave you to it Sure you will get something nice together under 800 euro's.

Am off out for a bit.

yep this price is including vat (below on the side when you put everything together you will get a checked box which says to include vat in the prices)

I must say that the one including the case from the dutch site is with the new antec 900 model (900 two). The old 900 model is actually 14,50 euro cheaper.
But getting rid of the tower only makes it 2.5 euro cheaper, which is not really a great saving if it is planned to be shipped instead of picking it up

[Christopher Aponte]

nice Sander
alien will just go faster now

 

[Bert Van Waes]

wow guys. Tx very much for all the help!!!

awesome. I will go check out that shop in eindhove Chris and Damien. With the list and yr suggestions with me i'll go find it out. It's ok if it's a bit more then 800. I could've forseen that with the case and all. No worries.

You guys helped me out bigtime.:dance2:

And you guys know that this works all together eh, you know alot!! amazing. That website. Can i let them do the install off parts too or is it just buy, and away? edit, i just read it, you can... But maybe i can do it too you know.

You trust them Chris?

tx tx...

 

[Damian Henderson]

Yup super rig Sander

Bert, you can trust Chris if he recommends that shop I think they will be great for sure.

 

[Christopher Aponte]

I always trust that shop, only never let them installed a whole pc for me as I always wanted to experience installing it myself lol
but if you let them assemble it for you, then I suggest to go pick it up and let them open the case for you and check if every single cable are in the correct place and neatly assembled (as you will pay I think 30 euro or so for the assembly, which for me is a lot of money :wink

 

[Bert Van Waes]

Indeed, i won't let them do the assembley.

I think it will be literally the list i will order The last one you guys posted.

And now hope that this doesn't take too long... I can't wait now, haha

Knowing that my games will be so much more quality now.
I used to run them on 1280/1024 with some settings on full... This will be a new experience.
I almost am on the point now i could thank the lightning, lol. But still, that old gaming rig only saw an upgrade couple off years ago... And she could run for another year i'm sure...

Anyway tx alot. I'm going to place my order now.

 

[Bert Van Waes]

What about this one guys, all the rest is almost here :
CPU INTEL Core i7-920 2.66GHZ SKT1366 FSB1333 8MB CACHE BOX

 

[Damian Henderson]

[Bert Van Waes]

OCZ Psu 600W StealthXtreme + 120mm Blue Fan?

and grpahics card will be this one. is it a good one?
ASUS ATI 4890 TOP/HTDI/1GD5 GDDR5,HDTV,2xDVI,HDMI,PCIe

 

[Bert Van Waes]

Antec Nine Hundred Two Chassis - Tower
P6T S1366 X58 ATX SND+GLN+1394 SATA2R
CORE I7-920 2.66GHZ SKT1366 FSB1333 8MB CACHE BOXED

[Damian Henderson]

You should stick to this 4890 as it comes with aftermarket cooler ( much better then the default cooler which are pretty cheap )

I like the modxstream psu more myself, better cable management, but it's up to you, the modxstream is very silent, I use couple of the older versions and you can't hear it at all ( had one for 4 years now ) Both are fine though.

The rest is fine if your trying to save a bit of money

 

[Damian Henderson]

Actually the memory is only 2gb, you want the 6gb kit for an i7 system.

 

[Christopher Aponte]

yep Damian said the same things that are on my mind
(are you reading my mind...you better not :focus

either way the rest of the system is fine :wink:

 

[Damian Henderson]

2 minds think alike :nerd:
