omg almost a G for that processor... and in 18 months it will be obsoleted by some other breakthrough rendering it around 400$. It's a losing battle but omg I have to admit I creamed myself when I saw that thing. | ||

NATE!!!! IMPORTANT! DO NOT BUY THAT RAM and that motherboard. I say buyt he motherboard but find different RAM. That motherboard is the shit. But the RAM has major issues booting up with that motherboard. EVGA has also informed ppl that this is a known issue. So save yourself some headaches and long waited tech support calls and buy different RAM! Ill still be looking for some improvements for the ultimate system. This will be my dream system... And its all yours.. be careful... i might stalk u and kill you for this system. P.S. How much money do you have lol? This system is gonna be hella expensive and prolly better then anyone's here. One thing i can tel you though. By buying all these big parts.. not only are you never gonna have to upgrade for at least 2 years... but with the SLI motherboard, in 2 years when ur vid card gets slightly outdated, all you have to do is buy another of the same card, which will be half the price, and hook it up. Now you have two super vid cards and your system can go another 2 years lol. Well worth the money Edited Tue Jan 23 2007, 05:02PM |

Now, i dont have any money to be upgrading my system, and i spent long hours building your PC, only because i love you and i love your enthusiast in PC building. Plus its liek a prep for when i build mine lol. Here is what i can do for you The Case -[link]- Im glad you stayed with this one. I Will be buying the same one for myself some time soon. Great case and it has expansion modifications if you want to change the case around a lil. Only con, the 250mm fan has no inner guard. Make sure you keep your wires "wire-tied" and away from the fan. HD - -[link]- great HD pick. Seagate has been doing it for a long time. Normally i stick to Maxtor because i have had the leats problems with them so if you want to change it up go with this one -[link]-, its the same size as the seagate, or go with -[link]- this bad boy is 500gb and only about 30 bucks more. But go with the 320gb and save yourself some money... You will never use that much space.. Video Card - -[link]- this is the one you listed and is a great choice.. Any other option would be this -[link]- its the same card actually... but about 50 bucks cheaper. Sound Card - -[link]- the one i picked. Good choice to stick with it. Its a 7.1 card, pretty sure its 5.1 as well. Not sure, maby someone else could verify that. Great card, not to hard to pick out. Same price i payed for mine year and a half ago, mines an Audigy Zs something yadayada. Half as good. Processor - -[link]- the one you picked lol. Hey if you wanna spend a thousand dollars on a processor be my guest, if you can spare that much money then god bless you. Only thing is, its super hot. Few reviews said it bubbled up a couple of motherboards. With the case i told you to get it should be iight. Dont hold me to it though. Other choices would be, -[link]- this would save you about 700 bucks... great cpu, not hyper threading though. This -[link]- also a great cpu, half the price as your super cpu and with no heat problems. If you wanna spend the money, go with this one. Another expensive yet phenominal cpu is -[link]- Only difference is its quad-core. 100 bucks cheaper then the big one. Still pretty much the same cpu lol. RAM - The one you listed i have found on reviews to have problems with the motherboard. Go with -[link]- patriot makes great RAM. i use it in my freinds PC with no problems. -[link]- Super Talent is also great RAM, i use it now lol. -[link]- Read that OCZ and the motherboard you listed work wonders together. Heard its very stable and easy to OC with no problems. Motherboard - The one you listed -[link]- I couldnt find better lol. Only other option would be -[link]- ASUS makes great MB's and i use ASUS currently. You can pick any of the ones out of these... preferably ASUS EVGA ABIT GIGABYTE -[link]- Power Supply - For the processor that you want, HD, and Vid card, you need a 750w MINIMAL! -[link]- is a good 700w PS. Also SLI certified whihc means it will work well even when you double your vid cards in two years. Go with this one -[link]- this one was certified with doubling the very same vid cards that you are going to get! This one has my vote. Accessories - This cpu fan is wau better then the one intel provides -[link]- you cant go wrong with this one. Also.. for extra ventilation which you will need, if you have room go with one of these, -[link]- VERY cheap lol.. I have one and it works great. If you have the extra power connector and the PCI slot then hey.. why not..lol there you have it! HOURS of long researched shit. I hope you enjoy this SUPER COMPUTER! P.S. On EVERY item that you search for, be sure to look at at least 10 customer reviews. It really helps a lot. Edited Tue Jan 23 2007, 06:37PM |
