Arn0t's fully revised computer

[Arn0t]

so i have been really really carefully looking at my computer wish list, and it went through a total revision. And this is what i found

EVGA 132-YW-E178-A1 LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 780i SLI FTW

EVGA 01G-P3-N891-AR GeForce 9800 GX2 1GB (512MB per GPU) 512-bit (256-bit per GPU) GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16

CORSAIR CMPSU-750TX 750W ATX12V / EPS12V

Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 Kentsfield 2.4GHz LGA 775 Quad-Core Processor

G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500)

Western Digital Caviar SE16 WD5000AAKS 500GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive

ASUS 20X DVD?R DVD Burner with LightScribe Black SATA Model DRW-2014L1T

There it is. Please dont tell me to get a case, as i already have one, and just suggestions please, i am trying to keep it as cheap as possible, without it being horrible.

Not bad...but what about the case? And the CPU cooler?

You don't need aftermarket, and the CPU comes with it's own Heatsink/cooler

Looks good, but Id go with a 4870 from ATi, alot better card for the money

 

[Arn0t]

yeah i was thinking about it, but i REALLY want to get that board, and its SLI and i plan on getting another card later, and i plan on it being another GX2. Yes i will be running a 64bit OS, and yes it will be vista, so that is all covered.

As to GCrusader, as mentioned in my first post, i already have a case that will do just fine for me, until i have money to buy a new one, which i will. But like i said im trying to keep it cheaper, so if i have something, im going to use it. The Extra fun stuff will come later (like a new case, CPU cooler just so it cools better, better HDD, etc.)

 

[GCrusader]

Well you might want to rethink about the case since the GX2 is pretty big...

 

[Wal-Mart Security]

I have the same case as Arn0t right now and fitting all this stuff into his case won't be a problem at all.

Believe me <-------------------

 

[sokO]

That's a really good setup.

On another thought, my friend has that same case. IT is HUGE!

 

[Arn0t]

lol yeah, when i first bought it, i though i was going to be able to park my car in it or something. Space is definetly not an issue for me currently

 

[Endiment]

ahh, the windtunnel makes that a really good setup.

Suggestion:

Pony up the extra $10 for a 640GB version of the HDDs, it's a slight bit faster. Fill up the entire second platter instead of cutting it off short.

Also, last I checked, the GX2 was the best $/FPS card out there (for this generation at least). Things may have changed in the last week or two though.

~Gooda~

 

[GCrusader]

Wow...nice case...have fun with your new PC!

 

[Arn0t]

thanks gooda, thats exactly the type of info i want. thats an extra 140GB for $10 that i would be getting

Yeah, i looked at that too, great card, and in my mind EXTREMELY CHEAP!! so im looking forward to it

ANOTHER UPDATE: Just got job!!! so im probably looking at about 5 months give or take depending on how much i work with school and everything.... Downside, too long to wait... upside, CHEAPER PRICES almost guarenteed!!!

Ya I can't wait to get my new PC. I just got myself a new job as well I'm that much closer to my new machine
