BF2S Forums New Computer, what should I get?

Why don't you try cobbling a list of components together and then ask for some advice on what to change?

I find it's more satisfying that way and you usually end up with a system more appropriate to you. Go have a flick through Newegg...

I'm sure you'll get loads of responses with lists of components, but you're better off finding them yourself and then posting that list here and checking that it's all good. Go, go, go!

Good luck on your build.

Scythe mugen 2 is a cpu cooler.

Anyways I'd go for 1066MHz or even 800MHz DDR2 ram and the GA-MA790X-UD4P. DDR3 is, still, kinda pointless.

here its like almost same priced as DDR2 setup so I think its worth it

edit: oh the board doesn't support PII 940, switch that to 955, 945 or 925

Lot of money too. Twice the price of the Freezer 7 Pro.

Well F7P gets owned with quads. So its totally worth the 40€

I suppose it is quite big....

Looks almost as big as my old Socket A Alpha Heatsink. That was a real beast. Alpha knew how to make heatsinks VAST. They never came with fans though, had to get them separately.

There is Full Copper Mugen 2 coming too. 1.8kg

That'd put a hole in the wallet..

BF2 runs on pretty slow graphics card. You need to make a decision whether you are going to play some newer games too, or just BF2 etc.

That HP prebuilt is waste of money, VERY overpriced.

edit: And what kind of windows use you do?

I will mainly play bf2, and thats about it, besides games on the internet

the windows I have been using is the one before vista, with the green start button, etc

but yes, bf2 is pretty much the only game ill play with such high requirements

For windows use I mean do you do photo/video editing, office use such as word etc. or use some other heavy programs? multitasking a lot? and so on....

oh no, i dont use photo/video

i do multi task, with bf2 and the internet, and internet with itunes

i am pretty sure the biggest program i use would be bf2.

Then you are good to go with

E5200
Freezer 7 Pro
Gigabyte GA-EP43-UD3L
2x2GB DDR2 1066MHz
HD 4670
Corsair CX400W
Cooler Master Elite 330
WD Caviar Black HDD xxxxGB
DVD-RW Drive

Tbh, when I got my first parts I was the same, I'd never built a computer before in me life. It's very easy to do, you just gotta take your time at it. Everything fits one way, unless you force it in and break it.

Hell if you wanted, if you got some other computer you can use while putting the parts together I'd be more than happy to talk you through it on xfire VIA a call or whatever suits ya. Not to mention, building it yourself will be good experience for the future:)

Well, ok, but age doesn't matter as long as you can read you'll be able to:)

Best of luck with the computer when you get it!
