yungin73 Posted August 20, 2010 Posted August 20, 2010 (edited) Hey guys, Slowly going to start building my dream machine, should have it completed in about 10 months or so. here is what my system specs will be: Case: Cooler Master HAF X Motherboard: Asus Rampage III extreme CPU: Intel Core i7 980x Extreme GPU: XFX Hd 5970 black edition ( 2gb) Hard Drive: Cavier Black 1TB PSU: Silverstone ST1200 Memory: Corsair 12gb (6 x 2gb) OS: Windows 7 Ultimate (64) Also, i want to upgrade my HAFX by adding in a WC system. But not sure how this works, im sure a quick stroll through the forums will help, but anyones input on complexity/brands to go for would be appreciated. anyways, hows this setup sound? flaws? input? Thanks guys Edited August 20, 2010 by yungin73 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fmc_boss Posted August 20, 2010 Posted August 20, 2010 (edited) That's definitely a "dream machine", but 10 months is a long time.... Better to save up your $$ for a while rather than buying it bit buy bit. By then, the ATI 6 series will be out, Sandy Bridge.... who knows what else.

Bosco Posted August 20, 2010 Posted August 20, 2010 Ya a lot of things are going to change in the next 10 months.... still waiting to see if DDR4 will be out by then besides all the other stuff fmc mentioned. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joel.monteiro Posted August 20, 2010 Posted August 20, 2010 I think ddr4 will become mainstream in 2012,and the 6 series will come out next year Q1 or Q2 not sure.Its ur choice to w8 ,but ur built is powerful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebarone Posted August 20, 2010 Posted August 20, 2010 You left out the SSD's. Those are critical in any "dream machine" build! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
yungin73 Posted August 20, 2010 Posted August 20, 2010 well of course there are going to be bigger and better things, its just the way the industry is. and thats what i mean by slowly, saving up my money and buying all the parts at one time, so if there is an upgrade available for one the parts, i might purchase it, but i feel the build i have chosen will have longevity, and will not all of a sudden become obsolete because of a new gpu or other component. Great points though guys, and thanks for the input!! i still dont have much time to cruise the forums, anyone got any info on water cooling?
