Ok, what plan is yours exactly?

I'm on the 500GB Optus cable cap, and pay 120/month.

ADSL2+ is ok, but it depends what those 5 people are doing.

GTR12

its $60 a month with optus with 50gb on peak and 70 off peak or something like that

Hi Guys

I currently have Optus cable broadband plan which only has 50gb a month of downloads and with a family of 5 internet uses and gamers this is just not enough and quite frankly im sick of watching the download bar like a hawk

so i was thinking of going to ADSL 2+ unlimited with TPG, do u think this is a good choice, is it just as fast

in terms of my distance from the exchanges Adsl2 exchanges.com gave me this info
You are 2138 m from NBAL as the crow flies.
Estimated cable length of 2886.3 m.
Estimated speed of 8000 Zone 1

im not sure wether these numbers r good or not, i wont mind if it is a little bit slower than cable but not too much as we all know what gaming with bad internet is like.

thanks guys :)

build 4 is a league above all the others, but Id make some changes to it, for example get the unlocked K processor and change the video card, 7950 brand to a sapphire or xfx, or pretty much anything else lol.

blaznwiipspman1

yeah i would change the brand of the card but this one was a bargin i mean how many times do u find a 7950 for less than $300 as my original budget for a video card was around 250-270 for something like a GTX 660 or 7870, but i am happy to pay a little extra for this but anything above this is a little much, is there anything wrong with powercolour as a brand i thought they were ok

Build 1, but get a 2x4 RAM kit instead, drop down the PSU to the XFX 650W or something, and try get a 660TI or HD 7950 GPU.spittis


why should i get 2 sticks of 4 they would probably be more expensive and the mobo only has 2 slots, if i get 1 stick of 8 i still have another slot to upgrade to 16 down the track

If its for gaming then I concur with Masenkoe on this. Drop the RAM to 8GB and get a Z77 board with a i5 3570K and a GTX 670 4GB.Grey_Eyed_Elf

sweet, the CPU wont bottleneck the graphics card will it

[QUOTE="glassfish8"]

[QUOTE="Lox_Cropek"]How much can it deliver through the 12v rail?

superclocked

well on the side it says

AC input: 115v/230v 10A/5A 50-69Hz

Dc Output: +12v +5v +3.3v -5v -12v +5vsb

Current: 16A 30A 30A 0.5A 0.5A 2A

max Output power: 420W

is this powerful enough to run a 660

thanks

Not even close, especially since nearly every major component transforms it's power from the 12v rail nowadays...

so i should go for 650 then
