I did Ants, there are about 15 ASUS 1150 socket boards so which one is it?

EDIT: Just checked ASUS' webpage, they have 28 Socket 1150 boards available.

you lost me........keep it simple I know nothing about technical aspects of motherboards

It's like saying 'this skyline has a garret turbo' in an ad, what garret turbo? The 1150 boards range in price from sub $50 to $400-$500 with vast differences in features.

I would look at a samsung 840 - 250gb SSD for main drive and a 2 or 3 TB secondary drive that should meet your performance and storage needs.

An SSD is probably not possible with a $1000 budget, especially if that $1000 includes an monitor.

ahh ok. Thanks for that.

I just after something within the 1500 range not something that costs as much as small car.

$1500 is doable if you go the AMD route.

I'd say its still doable with Intel, but it will become obsolete sooner. I have a pathological hatred for AMD after some very bad experiences with them.

I'll spec up an AMD system after dinner

in 17 years I have

-Built 6000 AMD systems to date, had 4 fail inside warranty

-Built 8-9000 Intel systems and had considerably more fail (upwards of 200) inside warranty (that being said I have built nearly 3000 more of them)

Advanced Micro Devices, They make Cheaper CPU's and nowday's APU's.

Some of the newer AMD Chips are really good and priced in a manner that allows for more coin to be spent on Mobo and GPU.

Some manufacturers make Generic Ram that has better Latency than the big names but slightly lower clock speeds...time to OC that shit and same some dollars.

I've never had an issue with any Intel system I have built and the 3 AMD systems I built were the most unstable pieces of crap I have ever used. But that was just before AMD lost a lot of market share so they may be a lot better now.

Ok. I just need some guidance where I can get buy / build a computer that is reasonably powerful enough for occasional gaming and lots of media.

Looks like there is 3 of us who can build you one Ants :P

    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
