    CPU under 5K(100$)

    in Hardware Field

    Posted

    I am purchasing from India

    I think of This BoardAsrock Board cost 80 USD to me

    AMD Athlon II X4 635 processor 95 usd 2.9 GHZ overclocked to about 4.5GHZ easily.

    I not to sure about ASSRock, I stay with ASUS and Gigabyte. 4.5 on that 635?? I have only seen them get to 3.5 -3.7. I have heard that you can unlock L3 cache in Athlon II's but I have never tried. Because of the low L2 cache and no L3, I am not a fan of the Athlon II's as a quad. That looks like a nice setup though.

    I forgot to put that in that i'm getting the XFX GPU version

    And for how everything is going... Fine, just finished my ICT BTEC First course with an A grade, I'm now moving up to BTEC National. (I'm not sure if you have the same levels?) now i'm just visiting friends and family... Plus saving my money up.

    You?

    Just working and spending time with my daughter. I have her 1 week on and 1 week off now since school is out. She goes to summer school Mon-Thurs and a reading program on Sunday. So we have a tight schedule.

    Nice build but I would go with the i7 930, we sell them for 199 at MicroCenter.

    Stick with the H50 for cooling.

    I think Corsair makes the best PSU (which is made by SeaSonic) or get a SeaSonic.

    For the video card I would get the XFX version, XFX has the best warranties.

    How is everything going snakecracker?

    Wish me luck

    Dang you hit the jackpot!

    Im guessing you can get Windows 7 for free because they have a MSDN account or something

    No, I don't have a MSDN account. Most of the vendors have a video/tutorial/test that will help you sell their product so when you past the test they give you a gift.

    Wish me luck

    Thanks everyone again.

    I worked from 10-6 today. All I have to say is that I wanted to slice my wrist. LOL. All I did today was read and listen to videos and take test. One part of the test you had to type out the MC GEARS system and to pass the test you could not have any misspelled words, commas etc. had to be in the right places and Caps had to be the same, plus word for word. I can say one thing though MicroCenter is making that money, which runlinx already knows. I work from 10-6 tom also but thats all I know so far. I will be testing/traing for 1 week, then shadowing. I have a sh1tload of test still.
