Is there any way to craft arrows? At the forge you can only make armor and weapons. I havent done anything with the mills yet, im going to go find one and chack that now.
I have a Corsair powersupply, so I typically recommend them.
The G.Skill was my 2nd mem choice, I forgot to list it.
Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it!
Ive used Nvidia and Radeon GPU's before and my only hesitation with Radeon is I had one catch on fire, its actually why I have the build im currently using. I origionally had a GeForce card but it took a nosedive and a friend recommended the 4870HD I have now. I think at the time the 4870 was better than the comparable Nvidia card.
Guess ill post this here, I was going to start a new topic but whatever...
Im looking to build a new gaming rig. My current one is about 5 years old or so and its starting to show its age. Actually the main reason for upgrading is my system will randomly start to lock up. It freezes while browsing, playing mp3's, watching movies, ect... But not while runnig games, though sometimes it slows down then speeds up in the game. Once this starts I have to manually reset the maching then its good for a day or two untill it starts locking up again. If I go to reset it through windows it will go to the blue shutdown screen and sit there untill i hit the reset button. I tried leaving it over night once and when I woke up it was still at the shut down screen. I have no virus that Avast can find and Ive run CCleaner, Super Anti-spyware and MBAM. Nothing helps, so its time to rebuild. If you have any thoughts on how to fix or trouble shot this id be glad to hear them.
Sorry, on to my proposed build...
Im trying to keep my build around the $800 mark and this is what ive come up with so far, any feed back is appreciated
Going with the OCZ ModXtream PSU im around $889 before $75 in mail in rebates
With the Corsair PSU im at $904 before a $65 mail in rebate.
I could use my existing PSU and knock that price out, its a radioshack special and its a few years old but it works and i believe its 750w
So what do you all think? Good build, any part tweaks you would recommend, ram, PSU...?
Edit...this is what Im upgrading from
Intel Core 2 Duo 6600 @2.4ghz
Gigabyte EP45-UD3P Motherboard
XFX 4870 GPU 1Gb DDR5
Antec 900 gaming Case (one usb on the front panel broke) other than that its still a good tower so I could keep it and save another 90 on the case

I install the cpu, fan and ram only before installing the mobo into the case. Once the mobo is in then i start adding the cards.
Are you running a 32 or a 64 bit system? If your not sure,clicky
If you have a 32-bit system you dont need 8 gigs of ram, a 32 bit system only utilizes a little over 3 gigs
