So I get to buy the parts I need for a new computer, and I am humbly seeking advice on which ones to obtain. The challenge in this event is that I have to get them from B.B., as that is where we have the card for. ( I am not site whoring for them, so if you can't tell who I mean by saying B.B., then you don't get to play.)

The components I require are a mobo, proc, vid card and ram. I already have the disk drives, although I could probably stand to pick up a new writable drive. I don't think I require a new case, but if there is one I shouldn't live without, let me know?


On your mark...

Get set...

Go!

...and when you are done with that; take a folding
chair to Creation and then suplex the Void.

    I don't know shit about computer inner workings. All I know that theres a hard drive in there, a graphics card, some RAM, something called a Motherboard, and some super chip that companies give silly names to (like Celleron, what the fuck does that mean?)

    I absolutely sure I'm missing stuff, like a fan and disk players. Think you need something to plug it into the wall too.

    Ugh... Buy something else with the card. You're going to lose so hard if you buy a computer from there.

    Well, how much is the card for? Because they still totally fuck you over on prices.

    you can get half decent prices and selection from the BB web site, plus free shipping too I think

    I was just lookin this stuff up myself recently. Right now some of the current price/performance kings are:

    Intel Core Duo2 E6300

    OCZ DDR2-800 Ram

    Nvidia 8800 GTS 320MB RAM version

    you can also shave some money if you're close on your budget by getting an AMD processor/mobo setup.

    I prefer AMD too, but right now their processors aren't up to snuff with Intel. Give them another year or two

    No, the more and more I think about it, I'd really like a Zune. I think the whole music sharing thing was really underrated.

    Something like that. As far as I can remember it's incredibly limited. Unless you like Cascada, or something.

    I way prefer flash based mp3 players to these proprietary format bullshit ipods and zunes

    they're cheaper, even though the MB to $ ratio is of course not as good

    but you're also not fucked when you lose your $60 mp3 player like when you get your $300 ipod jacked

    the zune is a great piece of hardware
    the software could use improvements
    but in terms of actual sound quality
    it schools the ipod
    even comparable to an ipod line-out

    I own a Creative Zen VIsion: M.

    Horrible name aside, it's a great fucking multimedia player. It supports more fucking file formats than anything else on the market, holds 30 gigs, great battery life, plays Divx/Xvid, has am/fm radio and as long as you don't upgrade the firmware for it you can actually record things straight off the radio.

    The only problem is software support - creative's media manager is a joke. But I love this thing, and it was absolutely worth the price. Sound quality is good, file format is outstanding, and it is easy as hell to use.

    You'll never, ever find accessories for it, though, which is kind of a bummer.
