Putting together a new tower


Sapper

Recommended Posts

I am tired of upgrading my components on my desktop so I am going to splurge and get a new rig together.

I need to stay on the cheaper side, and have honestly not gotten into hardware reviews in 10+ months. I wanted to check and see if any of you guys have ordered from newegg recently and have enjoyed what they have gotten (anything and everything)?

Yep, a nice case is a must. Here is the one I got about 6 months ago with my last build. Lot's of room and won't break the bank. Great air flow with up to 7 fans. I also like that the psu is on the bottom. This has plenty of room for any video card on the market today.

That doesn't look like it would fit most computer tables. :|

I picked up one of these as an open box special for $545 for the g/f for xmas.

Had to replace the pooty psu in it already, and the ram is only 1333mhz. But other than that, you couldn't build that pc that cheap.

I haven't seen a game it wouldn't devour yet at 1920 resolution.

My next rig will probably be an ibuypower i7 open box. Just plan on replacing that psu asap.

Why do you need 2 computer cases?

Pretty much the same machine I gave the g/f for xmas, except I only paid $550. $630 counting psu.

I'd get better ram than 1333 if I were building it from scratch.

I ordered some pieces off amazon separately, so I put this together as a mockup for them to be in one place and accidentally doubled up the cases, but didn't order 2 :)

I'd get better RAM and a bigger HDD. The prices on HDD's really make 1TB easily feasible as the price jumps between the successive hard drives aren't really that high.

I've found newegg to be fantastic in all aspects.

Though there are rumors that they artificially inflate the reviews of certain products by removing bad reviews.

Probably because most reviews are completely stupid and people will rate something 3 stars just because they didn't know how to install it.

    • Watching games this year again and Bryce missed a wide open XL many times and some of them were in the endzone. I get the kid has mental lapses and hasn't broke out yet, but this is year three on a rookie deal! Cutting bait now is too early. If he hasn't gained anymore trust from his QB, posted any highlights, little production, or outright gets beat out then we can talk movement. 
    • Samesies   I truly may just cash completely out of Panther football if we give him a long term deal that isnt necessary.  I have watched NFL for 50 years now and I can without a shadow of a doubt say you cannot win consistently with BY.  Way too many limitations to deal with.   I may come back around in 3 years when the inevitable happens and all parties are either cut and/or fired.  Giving him a deal before this season so you hopefully can get him cheaper in case he "blows up" or if you truly believe that he will has to be the most moronic decision a gm can make when the evidence is laid before you with different players
    • This is the one! I was at that game and all KB had to do was lay down on the corner after the pick or make an obvious tag while he was down. He had already ran a lazy route. Then if Cam would've just walked to the sideline like most elite QBs instead of trying to make the tackle.  A lot of people bring up the TJ Watt hit, but he just reaggravated a bunch of scar tissue from that play. And every Cam hater said that the running did him in and it was a dive tackle attempt on an interception that initially began the shoulder deterioration. He still went to New England later and would've got them in the playoffs had their A team not sat out the covid year. We quit on him too early. But hey how good was Teddy? Am I right?
