Quote Me a Build/Update Thread V.2

Featured 62880 Views 2433 Posts Social
The old thread has reached 80 pages, and has been filled with many builds that the very helpful members of MyFrag have all contributed too.
IMPORTANT
However a problem with people changing the limit on prices, asking people to put together build estimates without knowing the costs, and people generally not knowing what they are talking about has occurred. It is acknowledged that build prices do change due to everyday life, however the number of people that have been changing the price (from 3000 in some cases to 1000...) is getting out of hand. Therefore i have created this form:
Build Budget:
Desired Builder:(person you would like to customize the build for you, be aware they may say no, and are under no obligation to do it for you. Its not necessary, but just in case you have a special someone in mind)
Location: (not an exact location, just a suburb at most, seeing as most of the builds are done on MSY prices, its good to know where you are so we know what store)
Ability to build PC: Yes/No
Screen Resolution: (to help our builders know what sort of rig they are dealing with)
Desired Purpose: (what you want it to do, it is possible that this might not be possible with your budget.)
Parts being kept: (if none just leave as N/A)

If someone requests a certain builder, please do not interfere with there work, if you the builder is doing shoddy work, please feel free to PM me. Remember the members of MyFrag have lives outside of cyberspace (some more than others), so they may be too busy to quote you a build at times.
Please no spamming, stick to topic
Thank you very much to ROOK1E who has helped almost every member on the site with his builds and technical know how.
Thank you very much, If you have any issues, again please don't hesitate to PM me

Well that is 7 weeks instead of 18+

I just wanna know if there is any better performance parts for about the same price...
how about you leave the build to you actually have the money, save changing it 100 times?
Other then AMD nope it looks like everything is as good as it gets there, good luck tell me how it turns out!

Because the way my head works i need a goal or i will keep spending my money on small ****! if i can get a list of parts i know what im saving for and can watch the prices of them so i can buy cheaper along the way.

Whats wrong with changing it.. if he want's to spend less and still get other peoples inputs then why not? not like this thread has gone anywhere at this time anyway. This is the "Quote Me a Build" thread, he has quoted and he wants input.
Thats ok then, just dont flood the members asking for help.
@Insidious: We have had a few people complain about people spamming up the QMAB/U threads with builds that they might not get, they ask for input, change it, then ask for it again. Weasle was a good example, he asked for three different builds from one user just to waste there time. So we are just trying to keep it clean ok?
As for this being the "quote me a build thread" as you point out, allow me to put something in bald italics for you: "Quote me A Build/Update" thread. Not 100
I'm just asking them to have a quick glance over the list and let me know if they know of any cheaper or better performance parts for about the same price...
You could get this ram www.pccasegear.com/ to save some money

yeah i know mate, that is all good, just don't ask for the members to build you them until you get closer to your goal

I was told by my boss that patriot are "RS" (rat sh**). he would know he has to fix the ones that break with them...

Oh and my old question...
would 4x1gb sticks have more performance then 2x2gb?

Fair enough but I still only see 1, that may have had minor changes. Nothing big.. whats worse is this bickering about it. As you can see we've only had 2 other posts relating to the topic at hand.. so.

before you start judging me for it, maybe you should have a look through the former thread?
And slicing man, i am not a fan of that motherboard.
I'm not judging, I'm sure you're doing a good job. I'm just saying there isnt alot to get worked up about here and to just leave his minor changes be, its what a couple of $100 off. Can't change input too much with that..

Its the only one in its price range tho on pccg that has dual pcie slots... i want to be able to stick another 4870 in it... would only take like another week.

Thank you pongo i was considering the buy it bit by bit... but i was also thinking buy it all at once then the prices might go down.

Then theres the problem of what part first
well you would need the essentials, like CPU mobo and RAM, and then you could probably run the one you have now from it
how much Wattage would i need you reckon?

i will prob buy some more upgrades after its built.

*btw, now i have moved it down in price it is gonna happen and i will prob buy a part each week*

[edit] why don't i use one of these... it would only be the most expensive part... /sarcasm

Isn't it beautiful...
Slicingman.

This thread is asking for a build to be designed for you.

I suggest you to make your own thread.

Something like Slicingman's dream build.

Saves me time checking in this thread the whole time just to see you and your build, instead of someone who is in need of a build.

As you can see in the first post. The admins want to keep this thread strictly for a certain purpose. Things have got out of hand in the first thread.

Maybe when you get close to the amount of money pop it up over here to get a final checkup ;].

Because most likely, if I help you now, you'd probably change the builds so many times, it would be different to mine and just waste my time.

(:

Rookie.
I can't believe nobody has mentioned my name yet; I am the king of changing builds.

Nah, I'm gonna take a break for a while. Let time pass and come back closer to the date I'm getting my computer.

4 weeks today.
