@nobana your joking right? Learn to build a pc. Esd could blow up your hardware thats why you need to be attached to a conductive source( wristband and special gloves do that).

Hah, yes I know it could, but if you dont use some gloves/wristband, doesnt mean that its gona blow up. You can just put the part on top of your PC while its still in the "bag" and the electricity thingy will even.

hmm i dont realy get what your saying but,

Working ESD safe just mean that you are minimalizing the possibillity of have a ESD on your hardware.

Ive worked ESD unsafe for years. didnt had one problem. but i wasn't using very expensive hardware and i was holding the parts almost ESD safe.

Now that i work at a factory where they have ESD gloves and stole bought e set and used them so i know for sure my hardware wouldn't ever malfunction due a ESD.

But, as i said, you can work without ESD safe gloves or wristbands. just watch out were you are holding the parts and hope for the best.

so your willing to take the chance of blowing up your hardware than buy some cheap wristband that makes this chance almost 0. My dad works at philips and they use wristbands there.

An old radiator is all you need. It doesn't cost anything, if you have one of those ofc, and it is as safe as a wristband or gloves or w/e.

Guys.... he just want to get a new PC and doesn't know so much about PC Hardware and such. DO NOT FUCKING DERAIL THE TOPIC. Just help him or GET OFF. Create a new topic if you want to complain about other things.

Why every topic have to DERAIL? Messy is like "WTF ARE THEY TALKING ABOUT" now?

Yes I'm pretty mad now.

Hmm... He is right. Take CPU's setup with an AMD Radeon HD 6870 or wait until nVidia brings the gtx 560. If the card is good, you'll have some more options.

1. Buy a gtx 560
2. The price for the HD 6950 might drop and you can get it pretty cheap
3. Or you just take the HD 6870 or the gtx 460 and you don't have to wait any longer

He said he got a budget of 800 not 900, a hd6850 is good enough and stays in his budget.

@car: you got a damn short fuse, i just want to help messy by giving him some advice. Radiator maybe works for most, but working with two hands works alot better than with one and the other holding a grounded surface.

Wistband: €5,-
Total: (combined with my previous hardware list) €805,-
