Building a new computer? - curved tower windows
I think the construction of a new computerized system to replace the Acer for my T-180, Computer. I compared some of the research, purchase prices and, finally, a list of components that I am ready to. I tend to use for 3D modeling, digital editing and casual gaming. This is a list of parties:
CPU - AMD Phenom X4 II 2.8 GHz Quad-Core
Cooling of the CPU cooler - Zalman 92 mm ball bearings Cold
Power supply - Corsair 550W ATX 12.2V
Case-NZXT Apollo Case Black Tower - Mid-Term
Motherboard ASUS M3A78-T 790GX ATX
VGA Sapphire ATI Radeon 4850
Seagate 1 TB SATA Hard Drive 7200 RPM
RAM G. Skill DDR2-1066 PC-8500 (2x1GB)
Optical Drive - Lite-On DVD-RW + / --
Keyboard Microsoft Comfort Curve Keyboard 2000
* Razor Copperhead Mouse Tempest Blue gaming mouse (always something else) to think
Monitor - Acer 19 "LCD widescreen --
These are the basic components of the computer, I think about the construction, I thought of buy a copy of Windows Vista 32-bit
But with Windows 7 on the road, I thought it would be contained to give, as I have seen in all my other machines, and waiting will not be released until 7th I do not know.
There are other items on my list, but most of the parties is expected to take over the old machine. I just hope it will work.
Proposals are very grateful. This is the first team that I've tried to build, so I'm always a little nervous. I keep looking to see if I can find a better offer more information when and where construction.

Curved Tower Windows Building A New Computer?

Make sure parts are compatible, you can ensure the supplier of each part, and that the approved list. Example: Visit Asus and see if your RAM is their QVL (Qualified Vendor List).
Not a fan of AMD processors, you may want something a little more to the representation of 3D. I went with a quad-core 3.0 GHz and 1600 MHz RAM for my 3D rendering and multitasking habits.
The 4850 is known to run hot, make sure that adequate cooling. I went with 4850 for MSI heat sink. The 4850 is a good card for the money, if you have more money after you upgrade to X2 processor 4870.
The power supply from Corsair are good, who spent 12 V amplifier clean and pleasant.
While we are all together, careful with static and follow the instructions if this is your first time. Say, make sure that no dirt would be of any kind between the CPU and cooler, I get aftermarket Artic (hot) and wipe the grease from pre-release. Read the instructions for the application of fat, if done wrong, the cooling of the processor can be very influential.
For the first BoOT on, leave all the devices separately. This will help you to solve any problem.
After starting first, so you can return the computer, you must be sure to disconnect the power from the wall and press the button to download the capacitors. You'll find that dying of the light cone in a very short time, and then.
If you cooperate and work on the computer, the BIOS update. This solves the compatibility between the motherboard and CPU, if necessary. On my Asus does not recognize my CPU and said there were more than 100 ° C.
Go to BIOS and make sure that things are done, things like weather, clear hard drive when you do not use such hard drives with RAID, and so on.
What kind of budget are you?
And Michael P - There is nothing wrong with the goal ... general.
Why should Vista, it's terrible. I expect that put Windows 7 or XP. There are ways to put XP on a SATA hard drive is not so difficult in reality.
Other than the fact that Vista is a memory hog and has many add-ons that the memory of the swamp below, other forms of insurance, it is that (slow) Make sure you are well, and the fact that Microsoft has said it would cost more to solve all problems with it, so I went with Windows 7 because it is cheaper
For $ 1000 - $ 1500, you get a Core i7. It would be stupid not to do. As for an operating system, you have three options:
1. Buy now buy Vista and Windows 7 when it comes from
2. Linux comes with a Windows 7 on
3. Wait until July to buy this device, then free upgrade to Windows 7 when it comes out.
If you have a decent parts list for the Core i7 platform, PM me or ask us again.
Oh, and good for a mouse, you use the Logitech G5. I have, and it is the best mouse I ever used. It has enough buttons, but not many, a great feeling, and weights are in a good position.
