Crow47 Posted June 9, 2008 Posted June 9, 2008 Yeah, you'll have plenty of room for all those papers on 1tb of space! Looks good. Keep it safe at school. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hardnrg Posted June 9, 2008 Posted June 9, 2008 * don't get an nVidia board if you aren't running SLI * don't get 750i if you are running SLI * don't get an SLI board with the thought of getting SLI "in the future", unless that means by next pay day or sooner most design apps support SMP, so depending on what apps you use, it might be better to run a quad core... I can't think of any industry standard 3D/CAD app that doesn't use full SMP at some point... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniel Posted June 9, 2008 Posted June 9, 2008 (edited) as for the SLI i just got a Sli board, thinking for future upgradability, which MOBO should i switch it for??? and the rig will b primarily for gaming, and design will b just a thing aside.. nothing major....meaning that i would like to get the highest performance possible while running games.

You can add this to it *don't buy a 700W PSU if you aren't running SLi If you are mainly doing this for gaming performance with a single card, just grab an Intel chipset board like a P35 Edited June 9, 2008 by jammin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMeeD Posted June 9, 2008 Posted June 9, 2008 * don't get an nVidia board if you aren't running SLI* don't get an SLI board with the thought of getting SLI "in the future", unless that means by next pay day or sooner I did both and I regret it now.
