So i've been working for a bit now and have been saving some cash. I'm in desperate need of a new PC.

Here is what i'm thinking of building within the next month

INTEL Core 2 Extreme X6800
ASUS P5K3 DELUXE
4 x 1GB Super*Talent PC8000 5-5-5-15
2 x Seagate Sata II 750GB Barracuda
2 x Sapphire Radeon X1950PRO
Samsung 18x SATA Litescribe DVD-RW
Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeMusic
PC Power & Cooling Silencer 750 Quad 750W
LG L245WP-BN 24IN Widescreen LCD Monitor Black 8MS 1000:1

Not sure what case and i'm sure ill make a few changes before the time comes.

Moving out here was such a good move!

Oh yea and RNT

are ya ready for this one? lol

I have no idea what the hell all that means but congrats!! I'm sure it's all good!!

I'd personally get a Q6600 or QX6700 instead of the X6800. Especially if you wait until the price cut.. Also, I'd go 3 (or 4) x Seagate 500gb's, as they'd be cheaper.. And an 8800 GTS or GTX instead of the crossfire setup. That's just me though.

all awesome, but id go for an sli configuration, a dx10 equipped one at that

If your gonna be throwing that kind of cash into your computer, why not? haha

I'm definatly open to all ur suggestions

its been a few months since ive really been able to keep up on this stuff and well all know what 2 or 3 months out of the loop can do to a person

A single 8800GTS 320MB is cheaper and faster than x1950Pro's in CF.

And you'd better be getting a 64bit OS to go with that ram.

looks like a worthwhile upgrade for sure to the 8800GTS. and I'm putting Vista Ultimate 64 on it

I second everything haveblue said.

I'm looking into a 8800 GTS myself, but if you can afford it, a 8800 GTX, or even two in SLI is going to be a graphics power house.

ram prices are raising just so you know if I were you I would downsize to 2 gigs and 1 2900xt ATI card or something like that,
spend the rest on a set of sennheiser HD 555 headphones there godly for gaming and about 150 bux, or around 100 on ebay, they sound amazing in game and even better for music I wouldnt play without them now

I disagree with reggie.. Ram is cheap now, and if I had a boatload of cash (~$2000) to spend on a new rig, I'd be grabbing 4 x 2gb sticks. However, I'm a ram whore, so take that with a grain of salt, I suppose. haha

reggie_4 · 07-11-2007, 01:37 PM

regardless I would grab the headset and 2900xt

I also said ram is raising in price not there yet but consider he is buying in the future he should allocate for inflation....

Willy_Weed · 07-11-2007, 01:38 PM

Oh, and the P5K3 is DDR3, and that ain't cheap.
