So, decided I wanted to see if any other XoO members could use some of my current desktop parts - been gettin' the itch to build another box again and would like to give my current one a good home. Here's the parts I'm selling (or.. again the whole box): HAF 932 Case (would really like to sell this): http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119213 Intel Core i7-930 (o/c'd to 3.6ghz right now): http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115225 EVGA X58 SLI3 (old rev. of this mobo): http://www.evga.com/products/moreIn...rd Family&series=Intel X58 Series Family&sw=5 G.SKILL 6GB (3 x 2GB) Triple Channel Kit http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231223 If you are interested in any of the above, shoot me a PM and we can chat!
I'm still using an 8800gt 512mb card (and yes, it still runs everything I play on good/med settings at 60fps) so I figured no one would want that. Dash, send me a PM - and you know, since we kinda live down the street from one another, we wouldn't have to worry about shipping.
why dont u upgrade to a one of the GeForce GTX 400 Series card? or you use ATI cards? bc since the 500 ones came out the 400 kinda dropped a lil in price and TigerDirect.com has some nice ones at a good price and sometime there great sells and if you use google checkout sometimes there also a discount.
Because I would have bought 1 honestly if i felt the need to upgrade. I read my tech sites daily. Trust me. ; )
Well the tech sites are ok to read but i rather get something thats more so upto date since I play games on max everything =P
If its not broken and runs 60 fps at a setting I can still enjoy it at then I'm sticking with that. @Van Yeah last year. I like to build though ; )
yes true........but some games u wont get the FULL effect if it isnt high settings. Not all games but some. Also newer the game higher the graphics card that be needed to runt eh game smoothly even on med settings =P but atm the 880 is the normal for min require on alot of games
You're talking to me like I don't build my own computers or keep up with computer hardware. I slightly appreciate the input though.
I dont get why you are selling most of the stuff. Case and mobo I can see, but your CPU is plenty and so is the RAM. You are not going to see much of a difference so why waste the money? If you are not willing to upgrade your gpu I dont get why upgrading your other hardware is important considering they still perform plenty for any game out considering few games even take advantage of a quad core let alone one with four extra threads.
For some of us, the desire to upgrade a computer isnt because it is slow and old. Some of us (like me) just enjoy having the latest and greatest. Or tweaking computers as much as possible, and when all is learned then move on to the next. Or to just try out new hardware. It is our hobby, not done because of necessity.
Trust me you are talking to someone that typically doesnt keep a piece of hardware for more than a few months. I have built/overclocked for a very long time even before it was a simple log into the BIOS and change some things and built computers just as long. So trust me I KNOW how that goes. But for someone that is like that then he would get a new GPU, considering how much faster gpus are growing in power compared to say RAM or CPUs. So again I do not get why he is wasting the money on new stuff when his GPU lacks a lot compared to the current gen of gpus, but it isn't my money. Just was wondering. Also considering he gets either a top AMD or Intel processor his GPU will start bottlenecking that processor if he overclocks which it looks like he does. If has good enough cooling his processor will easily reach 4GHz.
I approve i am the same way, i upgrade just to stay up todate on the gear. Plus is makes my wife mad everytime i say im gona upgrade.
Its not even about that. I don't want the "latest and greatest" or I'd obviously have me a pair of 590's in quad sli. Like I said earlier, I like to build boxes, but also - generally - I don't have like having "too much of stuff", so when I want to get something new (in general) or just make room for something, I like to get rid of things, or sell off inventory. I'm kind of a minimalist. Plus - I was just posting this to maybe help a fellow XoO member out if they were looking to upgrade, or grab another PC - then I'd be selling with a discount to someone in the community. I'm really confused why I'm getting bashed for this.
ur just a weirdo E =P. Ya i did the same my old computer was fine but i went all out on my new one with the i7 extreme and SLI gtx 580 and atm it has 6 gigs. I rather dish out the money and have the computer last me many years my last computer lasted me almost 5 years only upgrade iv done to it was newer card to the 900 series from the 700.
erm....I dont see anyone bashing you at all. Alot was just wondering what you was doing and other like me was wondering why you stay some one the older stuff thats is all. Sorry if you thought me or anyone els was bashing you
