First Build for Myself...Options? Opinions? Predictions?
Finally, some time to build my own PC...what should I get for a lower budget build? I'm going to take old hard drive from broken PC and use it in this new build as well.
AMD's
FX Quad-Core CPU @ 3.6ghz for $119.99 to keep the costs down? or go up to
FX Hex-Core CPU @ 3.3ghz for $169.99 or FX Oct-Core @ 3.1ghz for $209.99...I mean less than double the price and I get 4 more cores...go for overkill?

GPU = 6850 @ $144.99 for value and performance. Maybe Xfire later in late 2013 if the need arises? http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/video_lookup.php... I know it's just benchmarking and utilizing it for games may make a slight difference, but still, not bad for the price so that's how I came up with the GPU...and it should help me get through up till MW8/BF8/etc come out...

RAM=2X4GB 1600's @ $39.99 maybe 4 of em for $89.98
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N8...
PSU=850W @ $84...shiny lights...

CASE=dunno...$29.99...random pick...I just want something to put all this in with adequate air flow, I don't mind getting more fans if I need to...but I may OC a little...and a side window might serve me well for some eye candy...

MOTHERBOARD=$129.99...not sure, seems to be nice? Xfire in a few years when gpus can better use X16X16?
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N8...
$120-210 CPU + $145 GPU + $40 RAM + $84 PSU + 130 MOBO=$519 and then shipping is $20...$539 for quad core build, $589 for hex core build, or else $629 for oct core build...different motherboard? Maybe quad build with a SSD for OS installation? So many decisions...maybe i'll just wait to blow my Tax Return on this build and save money after price drops?
1 AnswerDesktops10 years agoDo Americans oppose still oppose "communism" ideology?
If one were to show how Governor Scott Walker's Collective Bargaining law is a social/political/economic ideology that aims towards a classless, money-less, and stateless socialist society structured upon common ownership of the means of "production"...would people still support the Governor and his law? Do Americans still oppose "communism"? I'm referring to the true communism, not the ones disguised as dictatorships. Do Americans support common ownership to better the country? Say common ownership of...retirement? Healthcare?

Mine is the chocolate chip cookie because it's delicious...white-out because I make mistakes and don't want to trash an entire sheet or scribble it out...the modern bra because it makes women look very nice;)...scotch-guard because I don't like cleaning the carpets and seeing the stains...and of course GEOBOND...what more could you ask for for something indestructible, fireproof, and the greatest perk of all...it's non-toxic...
