The Budget Rundown

[DragonFaith_Xtr]

OK , so I'm planning a new budget build as my current Pentium 4 dieing out and i will be soon coming into a little bit of money . I will be wanting a system that can happily be on all day and sometimes night so a 24HR run normally , Render video's well , Play Minecraft , CS Most NFS's and your basic work obviously . Oh and it needs to be able to run Linux and Win 7 64Bit .I can scrap a couple of parts of this 500GB 2.5" internal , Refusing to get rid of my old sound card ( Soundblaster Live |Only The Best For ME !!!!! 😛 ) and my ancient IDE 180GB drive. i want it to be on AMD and i am going for a AMD Bulldozer FX-410 and cool it with a Corsair H40 Which is more suited to my needs . In the ways of graphics im thinking GTX 460 IE .Gainward NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460 Graphics Card As my mate Lynx has one of the more expenive ones and he says its good . Ram i want to go for Dominator ram as i want to get one of there ram coolers with the LED's on them they look cool :cool: ! Im going to go for a Asus M5A78L/USB3 Motherboard As its Cool looks ok as im going for a Blue Black/Grey colour scheme . Im going for a NZXT Lexa S Case as 1. It has cable managment 2. i like the front closing door 3. i like the power and HDD access lights . Am also wanting to change the fans that are origionally in the case and get better ones and a fan controller but there only extra's

If your Live SB Card is as old as I think it is, you're not gonna be able to find any W7 drivers to run it...I was gonna do the same for my Live! 5.1, but then found out there was no drivers, so I am using the on-board sound for a few more days until my ordered RoG Xonar Phoebus Soundcard comes via delivery....your ancient IDE, won't work on the system because IDE is no longer on motherboard's...the only way you can make use of it, is to put it into an external drive case that still supports IDE HDD's

Like I said, if it's as old as I think it is lol. My 5.1 was 10 years old, that's why I couldn't use it on my current system 😛
