QUOTE(RAVEN @ Nov 20 2006, 23:28)  WHY WOULD MY PC KEEP CRASHING WHILE PLAYING OFP RES?  Hello and welcome to the Armed Assault forums. 1. This is not the right place to discuss OFP problems, this is a hardware/software thread where you can specific hardware and software problems. It's not meant as game help thread. 2. Wrong forum, if you have any OFP specific question you should visit the OFP.info Forums. 3. QUOTE §6)Do not type in all capital letters, or in AlTeRnAtE cApS (Alternate caps) Typing in all caps equals according to standard net etiquette to yelling. It is also difficult reading such posts. Posting all in caps makes it even worse! 4. No further discussion about that problem here. -------------------- Former "Uber"-Administrator.

Well I don't trust pre-build PC's, they always add parts of low quality to save the last amount of money. And you don't need it all new, do you? I guess you already have some CDROM drives and a ATX case!

I also have a Thermaltake Armor ( I don't think I have a Jr. but not sure) and I want to warn you that the black one is really heavy. If you dont go to LANs very often you can this shouldnt be a problem but otherwise...

QUOTE ...the motherboard, which you could change to the P5N32-Sli Deluxe. This Motherboard will maximise the performance of your Sli Configuration by running each GPU at x16 to make x32 (which is twice as much as the MB you currently have). QUOTE Also, the PSU could be upgraded. You currently have a 500W Peak PSU, but as you have two very powerful graphics cards in your machine, a 600W Quad Rail PSU will be better. Sounds plausible? |

That's the reason why you shouldn't go for a prebuild PC. I trust my own eyes better than any PC company and setting up your own system isn't really that difficult - see mine, runs beautiful

I ask again, do you need all parts or just the primary things? I mean, you have an ATX case, CDROM drives and a powerful PSU?

By self/custom-built, do you mean you buy all the components from shops then assemble it yourself, or buy it from a website/ shop with customised specs?

Well, if you're no modding freak or a showoff you should have no problem. Get a cheap ATX case, IDE DVD Writer or something like that and a minimum 500 W PSU. Abot 100 Euros and the rest for good internals.
