Thats Alien aurora. good for gamers


but a bit expensive..

How much can u afford?

 

Don't ever buy pre-built PC's, not worth the money.

 

yea also asked how much she expects to pay

@vision for HDD i wouldnt say her choice, id get a SSD for OS since it never gets fragmented and gets fast boot time and a secondary HDD for storage

 

More about choice for his/her budget. SSD's are pricy. And also choice for size of either the SSD or the standard Mechanical drive.

 

I burned a pc trying to make it my self so i prefer pre-build ones xD

but yeah.. if you make by parts its better and cheaper

 

Just have to take your time and do it right That and making sure you have a grounding wristband helps ^_^ Built mine in under 3 hours having never built one before in my life. Just followed ze pictures

 

what u recommend for me to buy? i got like 600 euros to spend on pc atm maybe more later...
@frizzy sorry to jump in ur thread

 

2 months ago i cleaned the cpu of my cousins pc. i forgot to put thermopaste and it had cpu errors some days ago it smelled also.. xD then i put thermopaste and some of it went to the ram lol.. good i didn't burn it and still working xD


when u do something alone u have to be very careful o.o

 

well yea they r expensive, but the OS drive doesnt have to be big so a small capacity SSD would be perfect just for the vital stuff and everything else goes on the HDD, makes everything wayyyyy faster

u know SSD is like 4x faster than a HDD and yea the fact that it doesnt fragment makes boot time forever fast (+ doesnt lagg the crap out of u when u write on the disk like it does when everything is on the same hdd)

 

Just follow what the guys will suggest,just a tip from me,dont give over 1k dollars for a pc,here in greece at the moment with 600 euro i can make a pc that will handle aion in full graphics+in a zerg with no problems at all.

SSD Disk for windows+aion installed in it would be a good idea. Buy a cheap one like not more than 100gb. You wont need more cause you ll have a second hard drive for the rest of the stuff.

 

if u want it cheap and good > AMD
If u want it expensive and best > Intel
I realy suggest getting a SSD

 

i saw the pros and the cons of SSD.. expensive and small.. 30GB and imagine that u have aion installed.. windows also need some room.. eh..

i would stay in HDD

 

there are also bigger ones around wich arent realy that expensive anymore.
i have a 64 Gb one as main drive and i have win 7 and aion installed on it.
The rest goes on other drives except for some other programs. Still 14 Gb left

 

i have pc liek that wiht gtx 570 only phenom II x4 black edition 4 ghz runs liek hell

 

i second this. Power horse CPU :3

 

yea i was thinking about ssd in a long time i got other hdd with 1tb just need some advice about procesor and graphic card
