Monster Computer?! Should be innit?
 
bit expensive! i got a dell computer recently

i7 920 Processor
3GB DDR3 RAM
500GB HD
ATI 4850 512mb
i7 mobo - dunno which
Dell 23" Monitor

Bargain £750

your GFX card is obviously better, but i didnt have the choice to get a 4870 else i would. Also your choice of Processor is very poor!

since your so rich DJ, splash out on the latest tech;)

if u look around hard enough u can save loads, but I dont know prices in Sweden

Click to expand...

Get a Quadcore. Games like GTA4 and many games that will be published) running far better on 4 cores, Also windows benefits frm having more than 2 cores.

Tbh the PC as gaming system is dieing anyway. Seeing that you mainly get (often bad, few and buggy) ports from console games it's not worth spending such an amount of money to get a pc for gaming only.
few and fewer games are and will be realised for pc, after considering that almost all publishers see the console market as target.
oh, and a cheaper system is capable of running todays pc-games in high quality too btw.

from own experience, gigabyte mobo are crap, i would go for an ASUS tbh
 
Get a quad core i7 and decent mobo.
the 920 overclocks to 3.2ghz with air cooling np.
oh and you only need 3gb (or 6) of tri channel memory.

650w or so should be enough for your gfc frost... and it only needs that much power because its a dual chip card ;)
so 500w should be fine, maybe even 450w but go for 500w to be sure for djs comp
 
ANY INPUT? WHAT DO U THINK?
GOOD SHIT YEAH?

I WANT A QUIET and STABLE Computer! DO u think this setups is compatible and GUT enough!?
 
If you want quiet, have a look at Antec P182, AND a separate CPU cooler. Stock ones are usually noisy.
Dual-core processors are good for todays games, more then tomorrows games which slowly adopts multi-threading.
i7's are faster per mhz in mostly anything though not always games, but they along with mobos and ram are way more expensive.
