Hey, I'm building a mid-range for my dad. He is on a tight budget so I have selected the following.
Power Supply - http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.as ... 6817256061
Graphics Card - http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.as ... 6814125339

Hard Drive - http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.as ... 6822152181
Motherboard - http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.as ... 6813138197
Processor - http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.as ... 6819103886
Memory - http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.as ... 6820146748
Will be be able to run project reality smoothly? I intend on overclocking the graphics card, 850MHZ core clock and 4200MHZ QDR on the memory. If I am lucky and the X3's fourth core isnt defective he will have a X4 but that won't really matter because PR only uses one core. His current monitor has a resolution of 1440x900. He has a case, optical drives etc.

"I love the smell of napalm in the morning. You know, one time we had a hill bombed, for 12 hours. When it was all over, I walked up. We didn't find one of 'em, not one stinkin' dink body. The smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole hill. Smelled like... victory. Someday this war's gonna end... "

Re: Building a PC for father
Are you missing an optical drive?
If you are going for overclocking you might want to get better fans as well. A decent case with nice air flow characteristics too, I suggest.

Got a PROBLEM? Check this: PR:BF2 Installation Guide
Got a common QUESTION? check here first: PR:BF2 FAQ, MUMBLE FAQ
"Hello, IT! ... Yes, have you tried turning it on and off again?"

Not missing a optical drive, he already has one. I figure I'll put a bunch of fans in the case.[R-COM]SnipingCoward wrote:Are you missing an optical drive?

Here is the case I intend to assemble his PC in. I removed the fans etc.

I don't know if he needs USB3 and SATA6 - that board has neither.

Re: Building a PC for father
Assuming he didn't buy his optical drive later this year, I highly doubt it. The hard drive he posted is only SATA 3 and he would only need USB 3.0 if he plans to buy a new mouse or some other accessory supported only by 3.0.
