 |
|
Are there any websites for this? I saw a website for Orange PC or something similarly named. Basically, I'm looking for i7 and a sweet video card.
Edit: I found http://www.icoda.co.kr. Are there any others? |

Icoda is a solid business. I'd vouch for them. Prices are going to be a smidge higher than cheaper cut-shops, but WELL WORTH the small extra investment (perhaps 25,000 to 50,000 higher than elsewhere) because they're QUALITY.
What's your budget?

Note that there are some differences between the i7 set-ups, depending on mainboard and chip. The P55 chipset is cheaper and more energy efficient, but is only dual-channel as opposed to triple-channel memory. Honestly, I think it'd be better to save the money and go with a better video card!
I have the i5, and it's a wonderful machine! Basically an I-7 without the triple-channel memory and hyperthreading (and a hell of a lot more efficient). |

| Which would be the better video card? GTX 275, GTS 250, Radeon HD4870, or GTX 295? I'm looking to run Call of Duty and Modern Warfare. |

| It's $288.99 for an i7 920 processor on Newegg. If you convert that to Korean Won, it's 335,011.66 KRW. Icoda sells it for 378,200 원. The i7 950 processor is $569.99 on Newegg. Convert that to Korean Won and it's 660,715.32 KRW. Icoda sells it for 740,800 원. |

its a good mid-range game rig, wish I had money for a bigger card (295gtx), but it still gets about 18,000 on 3DMark06. BTW everything with a case, 750w psu and 22" monitor was about 1.4 mil |

Those are Korean prices -- not I-coda's fault. Some other prices for the i7 (scroll down for the CPU) at a price-checker site that shows lowest prices. I-coda isn't too far off from the lowest-priced places (which might bait and switch you anyway).
