I don't really know what I'm doing with this shit to be honest. Anyone want to recommend some budget shit I could buy? I don't wanna run TF2 at max settings or anything, but I'd like to run APB with little to no lag on low-medium. And TF2 on chris' high fps config with a stable 120 fps. EDIT: Also I already have an Antec 'High Current Gamer' 520W PSU that I had to buy to replace a broken one at LAN, that'll do okay right?
CPU: Intel i3 2100 ~124$ Mobo: ASUS P8H61-M LE/CSM ~70$ (Or another H61 chipset) Ram: 2x2GB DDR3 1333Bus Kingston Ram (doesn't matter really what brand) ~40$ GPU: HD 5670 ~70$ PSU: the one you have is just fine You seem to want the HDD, DVD and screen so I won't recommend other than these. So after all it depends on your budget, if you can pay around 304$ for CPU+mobo+Ram+GPU then go for these, if less then specify how much you wanna pay.]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=support&topic=17483&post=316936 Thu, 07 Jul 2011 13:50:30 +0200 Reply by firefly https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/support/topic-17483/page-1/?recent=316939#post=316934 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=support&topic=17483&post=316934 Thu, 07 Jul 2011 13:43:50 +0200 Reply by Shabbaman https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/support/topic-17483/page-1/?recent=316939#post=316921 Quoted from konr

It's "used by team dignitas", so sure, why not :o) Anyway, yes, this thing http://www.antec.com/Believe_it/product.php?id=MjU5Ng== should be fine. 520W is on the safe side, and it's a decent brand so it'll actually deliver the power it promises. If it was an old thing there might be some issue with differences in amperage on the 12v or 5v lines. Always forget which one, but over the last few years power supplies changed because the different parts (gpu and cpu) shifted in power requirements. Your OMG HIGH CURRENT GAMER is 80plus bronze certified, so that's okay. I think ;) Why don't you look for something like this (top one): http://tweakers.net/reviews/2184/3/tweakers-punt-net-best-buy-guide-editie-juli-2011-budget-gamesysteem-en-gamesysteem.html Yes, I know that it is in dutch, but there's google translate if you'd really want to read it. It's the part names that make sense in english as much as it does in dutch.]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=support&topic=17483&post=316921 Thu, 07 Jul 2011 11:26:30 +0200 Reply by Martndemus https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/support/topic-17483/page-1/?recent=316939#post=316920 Quoted from konr

The psu is fine. The cpu is fine too, you only need a better graphics card, try looking for a gtx450(550?) Or a amd 5750/5770]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=support&topic=17483&post=316920 Thu, 07 Jul 2011 11:22:47 +0200 Reply by WabbitsFoot https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/support/topic-17483/page-1/?recent=316939#post=316919 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=support&topic=17483&post=316919 Thu, 07 Jul 2011 11:20:42 +0200 Reply by konr https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/support/topic-17483/page-1/?recent=316939#post=316918 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=support&topic=17483&post=316918 Thu, 07 Jul 2011 10:57:18 +0200 Reply by WildEast https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/support/topic-17483/page-1/?recent=316939#post=316911 least GPU you should get for your monitor is a 5670/6670, I'd also recommend an AMD cpu for low-middish budget, like a Phenom II x3 or at the very least Phenom II x2 555 and wish it unlocks to a x3 or x4. Monitor is good but you won't benefit from it if you can't run TF2 with lower than 120-130 fps, so either change it or change the hardware.]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=support&topic=17483&post=316911 Thu, 07 Jul 2011 09:38:47 +0200 Reply by namu https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/support/topic-17483/page-1/?recent=316939#post=316910 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=support&topic=17483&post=316910 Thu, 07 Jul 2011 08:35:28 +0200 Reply by Medic-kun https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/support/topic-17483/page-1/?recent=316939#post=316909 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=support&topic=17483&post=316909 Thu, 07 Jul 2011 06:25:14 +0200 Reply by DAN07 https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/support/topic-17483/page-1/?recent=316939#post=316904 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=support&topic=17483&post=316904 Thu, 07 Jul 2011 05:05:26 +0200 Reply by Animal https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/support/topic-17483/page-1/?recent=316939#post=316899 Quoted from Martn
You're not getting anywhere near stable 120fps with that crapgraphics card you picked. Rest looks fine. The psu is overkill, im running a heavier system on a 350w psu.
it will do 120fps on low resolution easy]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=support&topic=17483&post=316899 Thu, 07 Jul 2011 02:54:28 +0200 Reply by -Flush- https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/support/topic-17483/page-1/?recent=316939#post=316897 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=support&topic=17483&post=316897 Thu, 07 Jul 2011 02:25:48 +0200 Reply by Martndemus https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/support/topic-17483/page-1/?recent=316939#post=316896 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=support&topic=17483&post=316896 Thu, 07 Jul 2011 02:00:41 +0200 Reply by lolage https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/support/topic-17483/page-1/?recent=316939#post=316892 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=support&topic=17483&post=316892 Thu, 07 Jul 2011 01:37:56 +0200
