Uh, it sounds like you've pretty much decided what you want, so why not design it yourself?

Ugh, that's an ugly case....

What's with case designs these days, 90% of them look like f'ing ****.

I know what you mean. I have been sticking with Lian Li for that reason.

You'll need a good PSU for dual 7900's.

Re: someone design me a $2000 computer

If you're gonna spend that much, I'd recommend going ati. Get the asus board with the xpress 3200 chipset and two x1900xt's.

Re: someone design me a $2000 computer

ive also been thinking of possibly a laptop
do u know if the GO 7800 is any good

[Sir. MatDef]

Re: someone design me a $2000 computer

Nah, don't go laptop. Too expensive, overheat easily, and they are much harder to upgrade.

[bigben210TX]

Re: someone design me a $2000 computer

ight but if you were comparing the GO 7800 to a another card what would it compare to

Re: someone design me a $2000 computer

Dont go CrossFire.. still to many problems with it. i mean yea, the x1900xtx is a great card... but on its own.. when you add two.. you are just asking for problems. Dont forget, the 7900GT's use external power (i think) so the PSU doesnt need to be like 700W, but a good 500-600W PSU would be adviasble.

[Sir. MatDef]

Re: someone design me a $2000 computer

But still, spending that much money on inferior hardware is kinda dumb. Sure, crossfire still got some problems, but just ask anyone that has sli how error free it is (hint: it's not). The 3200 chipset fixed most of the problems ati was having, and for ultra high end at this point ati is the only way to go.

I'm waiting for somone to get ATI cards running on an SLI board. Don't worry it will happen soon enough.

[bigben210TX]

Re: someone design me a $2000 computer

maybe ill just do a single 79gtx or single x1900xt i really just want a hassle free comp
