[AmEv]

OK, would this (https://secure.newegg.com/WishList/MySavedWishDetail.aspx?ID=16127012) be good for upgrade for ModCron?

[Fuganater]

The wish list is empty...

[AmEv]

Hunh, I clicked "make public".

Yet it's not showing up in the "public wishlists."

?????

Is it showing up yet?

You know what? I'll just link the items here.

Well, I think I edited it after everyone saw it.

Is this list good? The heaviest game I'm playing is AoEIII.

And might be getting a few Steam games.....

[Fuganater]

That's a big PSU for not much hardware.

[AmEv]

OK.

I'm not sure how much my 10-year-old 300W could pull.

What should I get?
I do want 2 cards; I'm not 100% sure on my budget right now.

Still. I want something nice, but not too nice.

[Fuganater]

Go 100 to 150W higher than what the calculator says for expandability.

http://www.coolermaster.com/support/psu_calculator.php

I use 2 just to make sure the calculation is correct.

[diluzio91]

might as well go quad core for $ 20 more

And a single 5770 or 460 786 would give you more power and be cheaper than the 9500's

and this mobo would be a little better if you can fit it in

(the layout is better)

[AmEv]

Thanks, Diluzo.
It's an ATX case; a huge ATX at that!

One thing I see as problematic: That CPU is OEM.

I do want to do at least a dual card thing, though. What specifically should I get?

[Fuganater]

I'm a NVIDIA fan so I say the 2 best cards you can afford. If thats 2x 240's or 2x 460's or better than so be it. It really depends on your budget.

[diluzio91]

true... im not a fan of anything but speed. but when you get a more definitive budget it will be easier to figure out what you should get... also, a CPU cooler can be had extremely cheaply, but does add to the price.

[AmEv]

I will know my budget for sure pretty soon.


I just don't want to blow my income all at once.


Hopefully, I'll have had this sponsorship thing figured out.....

[AmEv]

(hope I'm not going about this the wrong way, but.....)
Anyone want to try to help me go on the right path to sponsorships?
I've tried going to the sites, but nothing seems right for sponsorshipping.
And, I have no idea as to what I should or shouldn't say.
I want to sound good. Not whiny, boasty, or too easy to manipulate. Definitely want to sound dedicated.
