  1. What is wrong with you people, he said he knows its overkill just gaming, he's not gaming. Now if i were gonna try and do something like this, i would prolly throw a 5970 at it and a whole crap load of ram so could use it as a ramdrive while im at it and raid a few ssd's. Rock on man....rock on...
  2. I suppose my next questions are gonna be... *how much of a difference am i gonna notice between 8 gigs of ram and 4 *can i get 7 or 8 timings running 8 gigs at 1600-1800mhz and with how much trouble *looking at some numbers for samsung f3 hds and there looking pretty beastly, what do you think *raid? *duel/tri/quad core?, c3 steeping looks like it'll make ramping clock up a bit easier *deff considering getting a 5850 instead of 5770, particularly if i get a high res monitor
  3. well just found out that im getting 3k of back pay, so i'm gonna set a budget of 1k possible, primary concern is playing games, music, movies, surfing, just kinda the center piece of my media. Speakers i'm not gonna have to worry about, have my dads old studio Merlin cabinets i was gonna go all bear-bones about it and scavenge some parts out of old comp and reuse my tv which is only 720p, but i would really love to start from scratch. thinking of something along the lines of this Qty.

  4. Its been far too long since ive logged in(seems so long that my account was cleared , old users were lordthygod and ngrundtisch i think), and its getting about time to think about building a comp. Been far too broke last few years seeing as my last comp was an opteron 148 with 6800 ultra(met an untimely end to one of my roomates). That comp was a champ over 3ghz with ddr1 running at just over 600mhz at 2-2-2-2-1(was special edition ocz ram that happened to be on sale for a week when i build the comp:P) and a raptor hd. The best part of the comp was its snappyness, all my buddies comps that were build years after just never had that despite more cores and 2-4 times the ram. Now with that brick of text out of the way, im thinking of a fairly cheap build that will be tuned to make it work like a champ just like the last one, so give me some thoughts. cpu- thinking about an athlon 2 or phenom 2, probably duel core. either way im gonna be oc'ing. When overclocked does the larger l2 cache help make u for lack of l3 cache on the athlons? And i havent seen any comps that run a 300 fsb anymore, is it that everyones just lazy and cranking up there multipliers or is it not doable on current mobo's? Cooling- Been using a big typhoon for years with an upgraded fan, so prolly just come up with a way to mount it to new mobo/cpu. Gonna use soem extra 120mm fans to cool entire case HD- prolly a raptor or maybe i'll take the plunge and get a 15k drive Ram- seeing as i have almost no experiance with ddr3 whats a good blend of latency and speed. Seems like there is either 1600 cl7 or anything faster would be cl8-9. Id like to dragged all the subsystems up with the proc, and it seems like there's enough divideres/multiplyers to get every component up to its abilities so why not.... gpu- looking at the 5000 series,proly end up with a 5750 and bump it up just a couple of clocks So any thoughts and coments would be appreciated, still very early in my thought process so pretty much every thing is in the air, but what im looking for is the snappyness over the extra 2mb/s of max bandwith barn-sized latency
