Lord_PorkSword · Connoisseur of Bourbon!

I'll be building up 3 identical PC's for relatives over the next few days. PC's will be for 'lite' gaming but should run nicely none the less. smile

Here's the specs;

Core i7-860
ASUS P7P55D-LE (or Gigabyte P55-UD3) mobo
4Gig Gskill DDR3 1333
XFX Radeon 5770 1Gb
1TB Samsung Hdd
Pioneer 218 DVD Burner
ThermalTake Armour+ mx case
Antec EarthWatts 650w PSU
Win7 Home Premium 64bit

I'll benchmark one once they are built and post the results!

NEXT DAY EDIT: Faark...I can't believe how hard it is to get 3 identical gfx cards n mobo's. Here in SA I can't get any 4870's, 4890's which are in the price range I wanted. 5770's were also hard to get but I managed to get 2 and got 1 5750. With the mobo's I got 2 P55-UD3's and one UD3R.... Ram I got was Kingston as I can't get GSkill RAM in 1600 or 1333.... disbelief

...but atleast I can now build them....

Hey i7 860 is second after i7 920 no differances accept the sockets and clocks.

There are some differences, like the tri-channel memory controller and extra 16x PCI-E slot for the 920. I also believe the 920's OC a lot better as well.

KaiShun · Unreal Old Friend

extra? isnt it a mainboard thing?

Lord_PorkSword · Connoisseur of Bourbon!

Yup, but they are still differences compared to the 1156 socket processors/Mobo's.
Just a shame that games don't benefit from the tri-channel memory. cry

Bane the Zergling · crocodile dundee

Get your dual channel memory!

To bad newer games don't take full power of that.

Lord_PorkSword · Connoisseur of Bourbon!

Bane, Did you have issues using memory slots 1 and 3 on your Mobo? If not good on ya!

Three UD3's that I've worked on now all refuse to boot if memory is sitting in slots 1 and 3. The new F5 BIOS doesn't fix the issue either.
I've seen this mentioned on a few sites as well and it appears to be with rev 1.0 boards.
...Gigabyte get your act together....

i should built a pc for a friend of me and wanted to know what ya think about :)

muahah

hope its ok for an midrange pc

Lord_PorkSword · Connoisseur of Bourbon!

I reckon intel chips are better....but all in all it looks like a pretty good machine!

This was five days ago.

Na mate that was my older Gigabyte MB XP system overclocking was the issue I think.

My new system is is much better.

KaiShun · Unreal Old Friend

as ya know i have intel too but its an price thing too ! and i think there not much different between maybe i would buy intel too ! ;) but i dont wanna upgrade my rig soon ;)

Not bad for mid range my Graphics card in mine is the only mid range.

Like Lord said I prefer Intel more then AMD.

looks good m8.....if it s not to fight on bench with intel chips this PC can cream all existant games on high settings

Actually AMD & INtel last quad are rarely in troubble to run something already existant and if u dont have "special use or attemps" they are all surpowered:
i mean u dont see a difference while playing UT3 if u use fps stock limitations

....honnestly there s no reason to spend 30% to 50% more to get same results...except if it s a luv story between ya & intel....AMD rules on prices and i m 100% satisfed with my phenom

TIPPER · Unreal Old Friend

This is what i admire UT3 maps on ;)

Coolmaster case. (its a model copy afaik)
Antec 550W power supply
AMD 64x6000+ 1MB L2 Processor 3Ghz (OC to a max of 3.15Ghz)
4GB Corsair 800Ghz RAM
ASUS M3A AMD2+ Dual Motherboard
Western Digital 7200rpm 160GB Hard Drive
Lite On 20X DVD etc
512GB Geforce 9800GT Graphics Card (also OC but nothing radical)
ASUS copper cooler
LG2252TQ 22" monitor
My current Razor mouse

I would like to replace my gfx card with a nvidia260 at least but no way can i afford it atm and I would probably need a psu upgrade as well now given its almost a couple of years old and their efficiency reduces with age. I have a craptop as well :)
