Jedikid Posted November 19, 2007 Author Share Posted November 19, 2007 why would you sell it?what would you end up getting to replace it? i'd keep it. I my quad core I dont know if i'd get a new computer yet. Maybe wait for the native quad-cores( maybe the tri-core?) to come out. because if I did keep it I would still need. Power supply, cases, memory, video cards (sli hehe), heatsink, fans, dvd drive, (possible both Blu-ray and HD dvd drives I like to go big), sound card, hard drive. and then install everything but that would take like 20 mins. or get a mac.

wannaBstuntin Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 lol @ "or get a mac" wtf is a tri core? tri = 3, quad = 4....no? i don't think you wanna be buying HD DVD or Blu Ray drives yet. They still $1000+ I think, and they only write 2x maximum anyways, I have the same processor as you, and it's one of the best out there right now, so i dunno why ur tryin to sell it. my entire setup cost about $3K, but you could still get what you want for another $1K, excluding the DVD drives. get some nice and fast regular ones for $30-40 My suggestion: build around what you got now. If you don't need to build it right away, then wait till prices drop on things such as the new video cards and blue laser drives Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the AMD tri-core is supposely as good as the unnative quad-cores. WOW $3k when and what do you have in that?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guythatknowsnothing Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 well if he bought the quadcore when it was new and has a decent board that is sli with a pair of 8800gtx's and has vista then i can see 3K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wannaBstuntin Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Yea some of that stuff was on ebay brand new so I got good prices there. I barely won the CPU at the last second. Most of the other stuff was newegg. I'm happy with it. Damn right XP, haha. I gotta start using this media center crap with my 360 though. What's with everyone getting GOW now? I played that for like the first 5 days till Rainbow 6 came out , haha. Still have to play the last mission.>_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
