Make sure you have good headphones, a good sound card is nothing without good headphones!

the only real reason to get a 680i board is to go sli(2 8800 gtx's or whatever nvidia card)


and i would need another card and a bigger monitor for sli

so, i was considering and then people informed me new cards will most likely be out by then and they will probably be better than two 8800 gtx's so im just gonna go with the bad axe 2 cause its good for overclocking

also, the 680i boards have a lot of problems

But other than that, it looks like you've got a respectable system there.

Most of the PC issues posted here are the result of PEBKAC.

I think you can go better with the hard drive.

you need air dude.............

If you still got some money then you should get a bigger hard drive, many 320GB or 500GB.

  • 02.12.2007 2:12 PM PDT

Keeep Out of reach of children!!!

id definetly go with an AMD 64 X2 Dual Core 4200+ (or above) any day over Intel. also go for the 8800 GTS insted of GTX. GTS can reach close to GTX with OCing and much cheaper

When buying a computer, some people take the smart option, and some people just buy the most expensive stuff all the way round.

If I were you, I would go with a 965P motherboard, a case that isnt ridiculously expensive, cut the sound card, and maybe try to find cheaper parts. Maybe check the benchmarks of the gtx against other models and see f you think its worth the extra $250.

My computer that I bought 4 months ago:

E6600
2GB DDR2 800mhz c4 RAM from corsair
GA_965P motherboard
250GB IDE HDD (which even though 20 mins of halo = 20GB I still can manage on)
Hiper 580W PSU
2 x dual layer dvd writer 16x cd 52x
X-Blade midi tower case
Nvidia GeForce 7900GTO 512MB
Saitek Eclipse keyboard
Razer Diamondback 2000DPI mouse

I think that is everything, and that came to about $1600 dollars, and that was 4 months ago, and I live in the UK = more expensive computer parts.

Of coures it is your machine, but I just thought you might be better of saving and upgrading some stuff later.

Prawn sounds dumb when you know it's a type of fish...

But really 640 gigs is not that much.

If you had waited for april this year, you could have gotten an E6700 for the same price as your E6600 now.

But nice PC anyway.

That sounds dumb when you consider it's actually a crustacean...

Used as a generic term to describe something that lives in the water.

emm, wood lice are crustaceans, and are probably not fish.

I was describing prawn as a fish, using it as a generic term because it lives in the water.

Was it that hard to know I was referring to the term fish?

I guess, then, bats can be grouped into birds because they both fly in the air?
