Possible computer build

[treemty]

Hey all,
I have been considering building my self a nice gaming rig
here is the parts list:
case
Hard drive(s)
Mobo
Power supply
drive #1
drive #2
cpu

ALL for approx... $2,000 excluding shipping and handling

[FreeK]

looks nice

looks expensive

looks fun

have fun saving for it

[tmandt]

you only have enough for graphix card/mobo and case lol

[xSLICKVICx]

expensive but if you want to build your self a computer go for it. good luck

Dumb down the processor to a 6600, get a high end nVidia GPU, some 1600mhz ddr3 RAM.

Get western Digital hard drives instead of hitachi. The ultra PSU isn't that good so choose something else and a IDE DVD drive is no good.

i have never liked the Armor case but that's just me

as far as the HDD's go you can find much better than the hitachi's i have inherited two of them, there not bad but they are prone to failures.

decent mobo

like it has been said their is no need to have a PSU that powerful unless you are planing on running some kick but graphics cards in triple SLI. if your only going to use one you would be set with a 650w

why 2 disk drives? i would also suggest going with a SATA drive its faster than IDE and allows for easier cable routing and airflow inside the case.

as far as the CPU gos i have nothing against it.

as to the mention to use DDR3 ram, make sure the mobo can handle it.





if you have any questions comments concerns remember we are always hear

The 790i uses DDR3
I agree with everything tec said, and also why get a BR Drive? Think to yourself, are you honestly going to watch BR movies on your computer that often? I personally think it's just a waste of money.

its for the burning aspect, but who knows i might not want to watch it on my ps3

[PspKicks316]

It's still a waste. Takes ages to download something that big, too.

My advice is to wait on the BR drive. Get everything but that and decide later on. The burning/reading speeds on BR drives are still relatively slow and at a high cost. Wait for them to drop a little bit, it's smarter.

wolf has sold me on the amd pross

save money
dont get that case
id prefer teh antec 1200

3 fans in front optional 4th
2 in back
