Queenz Posted February 22, 2007 Posted February 22, 2007 (edited) Well my friend wants the best setup ever. He said he doesn't give a crap how much it costs or what it needs and just wants it to have the best hardware it can possibly have to the extreme. May I not mention that this sucker is filthy rich. So here is the setup I got in mind: Motherboard: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16813131074 Proccessor: http://microcenter.com/byos/byos_single_pr...oduct_id=251675 RAM: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16820145044 Power Supply: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16817703007 Video Card (He wants this is SLI): http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16814143085 As for the Water Cooling System, DVD drives, Harddrives, Monitor, keyboard, Mouse, and case I will think of later just not right now. But please tell me how good would this setup peform. I have never did a system for no one else but my self before, atleast as far as I can remember or w/e. Anyways tell me what you guys think. And remember price doesn't matter Edited February 22, 2007 by QueenzPCfreak90 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LivingGhost Posted February 22, 2007 Posted February 22, 2007 Please link to stuff like this: Name of Item This reminds me of a post on andatech about a month ago... Make sure to get him at least a 30" monitor, or two. The 3007-HC from Dell is nice (is it out yet?). HP and Samsung have nice ones too. I suggest checking out the widescreen gaming forum for a good 30" montior. Or, wait for those 1440p TV's to come out... But, don't waste a kick-. build on some small monitor. 23" minimum, in my opionion. (Or by res, 1920x1080 minimum.) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

UkJenT Posted February 22, 2007 Posted February 22, 2007 Talk about reckless spending. He probably won't even use that computer to its fullest potential. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queenz Posted February 22, 2007 Posted February 22, 2007 (edited) I know I know guys but I am just following what he asked, and that is to have the best I could find out there and the most costly. The guy doesn't really know alot about computers which pretty much tells why the situation is like this. But he does do alot of hardcore gaming like with fear, wow, and others. I probaly will even end up OCing it for him if I explain to him what OCing is and how it benifits. Right now I think he is currently using a amd setup with a geforce 7600GT Edited February 22, 2007 by QueenzPCfreak90 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fireonice Posted February 22, 2007 Posted February 22, 2007 Well go ahead and save the guy some cash. You dont have to have the most expensive to have the fastest. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdy284 Posted February 22, 2007 Posted February 22, 2007 buy the quad, give him your OC'd 6300 no way in hell he'll know the difference Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hardnrg Posted February 22, 2007 Posted February 22, 2007 for that guy the X6800 would be faster, absolutely no doubt in the world... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LivingGhost Posted February 22, 2007 Posted February 22, 2007 (edited) buy the quad, give him your OC'd 6300 no way in hell he'll know the difference lol, really. Tell him that it costs like $200 more than it really is, and pocket it... No Killer NIC or a good Intel NIC? That mobo only has 2 PCI slots...heh Edited February 22, 2007 by LivingGhost Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigred Posted February 22, 2007 Posted February 22, 2007 best setup ever is just an idiotic statement he's making. "best" is subjective to needs. in pure number crunching a system like IBM's deep blue will put anything he builds to shame. however it can't even play the original doom. even going C2 or X2 / FX makes no sense. there are apps there than run better on one than the other. such is the same in the ATI / Nvidia arms race. not to mention it won't even be top dog in 2 weeks (always the case). heck the 880GTX is about to get the bump to #2 in a few week. and with it the 680i chipset will be forced to be #2 (due to the x2900xtx being a CF setup). and within days of that launch comes the 8900GTX and 8950GX2... so we're back to SLI for a few minutes. makes his whole over spending just pointless. plus you have some newer 45nm Intel chips coming out soon as far as your spec'd parts... dump that mobo. I've pulled all the asus 775 boards out of my stores due to the failure rate on them. better bet is the DFI lanpart 680i for an SLI setup. plus if he's building a killer rig, why the pittance of ram? 4gb samsung sticks are out. toss in 4 of em and go from there oh and here's my suggestiong on a "killer rig" Apple mac pro, highest end dual xeons (will out perform any c2 at a lower price), 16gb, dual x2900xtx (it's a CF board with an intel chipset). runs XP and OS X. plus it's someone else's problem to warranty it.
