Need help finding right PC

-Red

Well, I need help finding a FAST GAMING PC.
I already have a good videocard (ATI Radeon X1900 GT) and now I just need all other parts (I wanna build one, yes). And my question was, does anyone know best parts I could get for the prices of maximum 2000 Euro's (all components). Without Monitors, keyboards, mouses, etc. I just need all the parts for gaming.

I'm having a hard time finding the right things for myself.

2000 euros is more than enough for a very good gaming PC.

Are you looking to upgrade what you already have or buy a complete new one?

Dowaco

Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 processor
Asus P5B-E motherboard
2 GB of DDR2-800 RAM with 4-4-4-12 timings
150 GB Western Digital Raptor Hard Drive
any DVD burner

Thats about the best stuff you can get.

Oh, and a good power supply and a case you like.

Core 2 Duo E6600 CPU
ASUS P5B Deluxe P965 motherboard
2 GB DDR2-800 4-4-4-12 Memory
320GB Seagate Baracudda
Thermaltake Tough Power 750W Power Supply

And a case of ur choice.
That will fit well within 2000 euros and it'll perform very well.

I rather buy a new one but I might as well upgrade this one.

Since I'm no ''pro'' in building/upgrading my own PC, which components ( all ) do I need?






Core 2 Duo E6600 CPU
ASUS P5B Deluxe P965 motherboard
2 GB DDR2-800 4-4-4-12 Memory Thermaltake Tough Power 750W Power SupplyI got the case, the harddrive(s), videocard, soundcard, DVD drive.
Are the above components all what I need? Also, I couldn't find it, but would my ATI Radeon X1900 GT work on the ASUS P5B Deluxe P965 motherboard with the Omega/Catalyst drivers ?

Now let's say I upgrade it, with the following components ( the above ones) do I need anything else for good gaming performance?

According to some reviews, this is a great board with a few things that need attention. For one, the onboard audio has some problems. So, you say you have an add-in sound card so make sure to disable the onboard audio if you CAN and PLAN to use the add-in card. I emphasize CAN because it's possible that you may be limited from installing the addin card OR having to choose between which add-in cards you can use. However, unless you plan to get another matching ATI card and use Crossfire, this point may be moot.

Check out the reviews and specs here:

Asus mobo on NewEgg

Your ATI card should work great in this setup!

Also, once you do get the motherboard and system together, be sure to check for any updated motherboard drivers on the ASUS website.

Good luck!

Thanks, bro.

So this is all what I need? If I upgrade my current system with those components it will be ''almost'' a new pc or what? :P

EDIT :
Oh and does Newegg shit to Europe? I couldn't find it anywhere.

Dyre Straits

You will certainly have an 'almost new' PC, yes. Only the 'old' stuff you install from your current system will be 'old'.

From Newegg's FAQ, no, they don't ship Internationally at this time. Only to USA and Puerto Rico. I submitted that link because it's a dependable source for reviews as well as good prices.


EDIT: Here's another link to some other possible sources for the mobo:

EDIT2: There is a UK link if that helps:

Aigh thanks guys, new pc ftw.
I'll probably buy it at the end of this year so keep me informed of the newest/best things.

i suggest don't believe the users reviews that are posted at the online stores too much, some of the reviews are from newbies's. and as for the specs of motherboards go to their manufacturer sites.
