BF2S Forums Building a computer, need suggestions

Well that site may be in finnish, but it's certainly not finished.....

I'm sorry, I'll walk away now.

Lol, wrong URL :S www.beesting.fi is the correct one.

I know you are not shopping there, but go to www.newegg.com and their site to match up compatible components, then check you Finnish site for the same items. For example when looking for your motherboard, you can filter by your socket (Socket "T") and see only boards for that socket. Then you can filter by popularity, price ect. The reviews offer some help as well.

For a motherboard I would normally suggest ASUS ...

Are you reusing your hard drives?

wait for DX10 to get the best computer or just for the prices of old parts to drop, either way just wait a bit longer.

I'm waiting till christmas and then I buy my self a new system. I might get a cheaper GPU first and then go for DX10, but I'm definately gonna buy it around christmas.

I created a shared list ( I'm $11 over): https://secure.newegg.com/NewVersion/Wi … ID=4161488

I went light on the hard drive (since its not a long term storage source).I also wasn't 100% if it was better to haver the spin vs sataII. But there is some play there. When I rebuilt, i got a 7950gx2, dx10 will be out .. but wont be in full steam for a while and to me is not a big deal (but im impatient )

I also went light on the video card, and you knock some money off there even more. I did not check to see if it had sound. I rebuilt recently and still had a sound card which is why i may have neglected it.

I am partial to ASUS, and tended to stick with as many ASUS parts as possible.

Good luck .. at least this provides some basis for discussion.

Another factor not considered here is psu! Good luck to you.

Your link doesn't work

The ASUS P5W-DH Deluxe is an awesome board, DDR2, up to 3 HDD slots and built in wireless if you're into that sort of thing. Its ATI crossfire ready as well, but im not sure if SLI runs on a CF Mobo

As for the RAM, much as you like but Corsair is lush, and good choice for the E6600 - gr8 cpu

Sound card ain't a priority but The Creative Soundblaster seems to do the job - 7.1 compat

Forgot to mention, I'm gonna get an SLI mobo so I can put another card in once the system starts to get slow.

I came up with this. Case and power suply are not included yet though
Does it look any good? Any suggestions? If you spot something that isn't compatible with each other, please tell me
