the heatsink is also not available but i can get that one from another shop.

Hi. Just a couple of weeks ago i built my PC with a lot of help from qfs. Now i need to build a new PC for my dad. It doesn't need to be whisper quiet since he doesn't mind that much but it would be nice if it wouldn't be like a jet engine. what he does: - a Monitor with 1920x1080 resolution - Photo...

With the stock Intel CPU heatsink and the Gigabyte board?

Definitely yes.

you may have other standards that i do but for me its very very quiet.

ok cool. why do all people say you need 500w-600w PSUs?

hey i just wanted to stop by and say thank you again. i built the pc last weekend and when i turned it on i couldnt believe my ears. it's whisper quiet. you can still here it but im more than happy. i haven't even attached the coolers yet since they werent available so im looking forward to that. i ...

the Asus P8P67 LE is not available right now, can i change it with the Gigabyte GA-P67A-UD3, Intel P67, LGA1155, CFX which costs the same?

i tested my old pc a couple of hours ago. following the noob guide and i noticed that i had a very loud GPU/CPU and loud HDDs but the PSU was pretty quiet.

very good. i will try a few builds out.
are 8GB of RAM necessary for the 64bit system?

oh and i just had a look at my old system. i have a Be Quiet Dark Power BQT P6-Pro 530W, ATX2.2 could i reuse that? this would save me another 100CHF.

thank you very much for your help. i will try this build out.
how much more powerful/louder would the i5 be? and do you think it would be worth the price?
i will post prices for the two builds in a minute.


AMD Build:
CHF 877.- or 903$

Intel Build:
CHF 943.- or 971$

Ok i live in switzerland. I will buy the stuff from here: digitec.ch the site is in english. I checked most of your parts and sadly almost.none of them are available. I thought i could get a ok pc for 800$. I font expect to run crysis 2 in 30fps. I just want to play the occasional game on decent set...

A cheap PC cannot be as small as a MacMini. A quiet PC cannot be as small as a MacMini. A cheap PC cannot game quietly. A cheap PC cannot game at 60fps (but neither 45) at resolution > 1440 x 900 (or so about: but neither the MacMini). Obviously, IMO/IME. i think you misunderstood me. i just said t...

Hi Introduction: Im thinking about building a new PC because my Mac Mini is becoming too slow for me. I built a PC like 4 years ago with the latest Technology but i just couldn't stand the noise so i bought a Mac Mini a year later and used it ever since. Im not very good when it comes to building an...
