    Hey, I'm Bioshox from custompc.co.uk, been a member there for about a year, but seeing as thats dead and buried I'm here to try out Bit-Tech!

    So could you give me any opinions you have on this hardware for my new build? I built a desktop at Christmas this year; an overview of the specs: Phenom I 2.2ghz, ATI Radeon 4870, 6GB 800MHz RAM, 750GB Samsung Spinpoint, 700W CoolerMaster PSU, Antec 900, Gigabyte GA-MA780G-DSH3, Stock HSF (Never got round to upgrading it)

    So hopefully this new desktop will be a better performer (I get lag when I play Crysis on the Highest Settings on this build )

    And anyone know any good CPU Coolers that don't break the bank compatible with the AM3 socket?


    Antec 900-2 Nine Hundred Two, Plastic/ Steel, ATX Case, Window, without PSU - £94.88

    HDX810WFGIBOX - AMD Phenom II X4 810, Sok AM3, 2.6GHz, 6MB Total Cache, 95W, Retail -

    1TB Samsung HD103UJ Spinpoint F1, SATA 3Gb/s, 7200rpm, 32MB Cache, 8.9 ms, NCQ - £62.09

    Gigabyte 512MB GDDR5 ATI Radeon 4870 (From A Legacy Build No Longer Needing The Card)

    GH22NS40 AUAA - LG GH22NS40 22x DVD±R, 16xDVD±DL, DVD+RW x8/-RWx6 ,12xRAM SATA, Black, OEM - £16.43

    LG GGC-H20L Lightscribe SATA 16xDVD±R +RWx8/-RW x6 Also READS - Blu-Ray & HD Disc's black - Retail - £78.07

    Thanks in Advance!

    We need to get a mod to move it either hardware or modding. The hardware people ask and answer these questions daily.

    And the modding people throw out crazy ideas and deep, fact based answers to esoteric questions! But rereading your post, this should probably go to hardware subforum.

    Welcome to bit-tech, read this:

    Eeek, Sorry :| These forums don't have descriptions on them, they really need to get some on so people know where there going and stuff

    CustomPC had them, was alot easier to move around!
