Its not unusual for no one to want these tickets. lol free bump for you.

how much do you want for the 6800gt?

Just look around in the FS/FT forums and im sure you are bound to find a deal. Hell i just picked up a ic7 max 3 with a pressy 3.2 for $175 so im sure you can find something decent.

thanks. im doing a bit more research. things sure have changed alot since i was last at this forum. i remember when the 6800gt was the card to beat. hehe.

ok a little update. same friend offered me a x800pro agp for 120 bucks. sound decent, or are there other AGP options around the same price range that i should opt for?

Thanks for the imput guys. Already bought them, and everything looks great. Now i need to see if i can get my hands on some cheap water cooling parts to keep that pressy coooooool.

Anyone else?

well i already brought him down from 200$ so i figure he might not like me lowballing even more. hehe.

I need to put together a quick comp for gaming/surfing/etc, and a friend offered to sell me his mobo/cpu combo. its a prescott 3.2 socket 478 and an abit ic7 max 3 with all original boxes etc. for $175 So including the parts i already have ill end up with prescott 3.2 ic7 max 3 1gb...

Ive just recently experienced what the cheaters have done to the game first hand. About a week ago i was slay/kicked/banned from my favorite pub because i was being accused of hacking. Like Stealth5325 said ive had my days where i was totally owning and my days that i just wasnt playing well at...

i agree. my 9800pro handles CS:s really well, but i only play at 1024x768. im considering upgrading in the future to a 6800nu maybe.

LOL. i agree with this man. id be pretty mad if my full case of bawls went missing.

the sub 300 pricepoint is just for mobo/cpu. what kind of ram do you intel guys like?

yeah i asked him that, and he said he wouldnt mind. what are some good components to look for?

will that be in his budget. i sort of forgot to mention that his budget for the mobo/cpu is under 300 bucks.

is it possible these days? a very close friend of mine is ready to build his new system, and want to go with intel. he does quite a bit of gaming and already has a 9800pro. what he needs is mobo,cpu, ram. the main things he wants are stability, gaming, and price/performance. so what would...

I really appreciate ALL the imput that you guys have put into this thread. Im pretty sure that im going to go 754 for now. If im not happy with it then i guess 939 will be the way for me. But as of right now, LANparty here i come. :)

damnitt they sold out of the LANparty board. looks like its back to the good old egg. :(

yes thats the board.

i know the 754 will run the games. im just trying to justify the extra money that the 939 rig is going to cost vs. the 754. which is the better motherboard? the lanparty or the platinum?

i guess i should elaborate on " a long time." it would probably be a good year until i upgrade again. i just want something that is going to handle all the newest games nicely for around a year or two. still so confused.

opps double post.

hi all. its time for me to build my new comp, and ive come to a dilemma. im trying to decide if i should go 939 or 754. keep in mind that i am on a pretty small budget and every penny counts. a local retailer has a sale going on and its time to purchase my motherboard. proc will be a 3000+...

yeah i agree. the only thing that is keeping me is im having a hard time finding a mATX board that i know OCs WELL.

ive been looking at SFFs for a while, but im having a hard time trying to find something that will give me the kind of OCing abilities that my mid tower does. i have a xp-m 2500+ as well. good luck and let us know what you decide.

i agree with him. i have a 9800pro and a friend of mine has a 5900xt and when we lan ut2k4 my FPS is constantly at least 20-30 more than his.

lol. im clicking furiously but it doesnt seem to want to work :D

hmm. i would still be scared. i think i might just buy a heatsink for it. not sure yet. thanks for the reply though.

my chipset fan is starting to sound like its going to take a poop and die. i havent had this mobo any longer than 2 months and the chipset fan started making a buzzing sound yesterday and im afraid its going to die. what is a good replacement fan? what kind of damage am i lookin at if the fan...

sorry. hehe. how many people just shop newegg like i do? i just will browse around knowing damn well im not going to buy anything. hehe

it loaded and i went to shop for a HDD and then it died again. lol

its up. :)

what cooling are you using?

my voltage is at 1.65v.. im still unsure as to why it reads so high. :/

what kind of cooling do you have? i have a xp-m 2500@ 3200 and im getting heat issues. my temp sensor is mounted on the back of the motherboard and im getting 50c idle temps. i dont understand because the comp is perfectly stable and never crashes on me even after a few hours of hard gaming.

didnt know where to post this, but i know this section has the most traffic. on my bios under the advanced chipset features i see a couple of options i dont understand. they are FSB spread spectrum and AGP sread spectrum. what do they mean and should i turn them off? what about AGP fastwrite and...

i wouldnt think so considering its a SFF. you might want to go to monarchs site to check that out.

im pretty sure you can order that case through monarch. its like 150 bucks and not worth it imo. you would be much better going with the aria considering it has a PSU and is cheaper.

for some reason the reviews on that thing suck. anyone have any experience with these xpcs?
