Re: $3500-$4000 to spend!
I would put the $4000 into a Roth IRA, and buy a $60,000 computer when I retire in forty years.Originally posted by redearedslider
At that point, I'll be thinking about 12 (running in 6x sli) BFGeeThat'sExpensive 970000000000 2046 editions, overclocked (of course) to 9.34 terahertz, with 79GB of onboard DDR15 RAM. And I'd still have enough left over to buy a (probably by that time) thirteen dollar soda pop.Comment

Re: $3500-$4000 to spend!
Wow MatDef, you sure put no thought into the specs. Considering factory OC'ed 7900GTX's are pounding X1900XtX's like a red-headed step child and crossfire is jank, wasting $900 on ATI garbage seems like a waste of money.Originally posted by Sir. MatDefThis is really easy:
1. One of the new oled keyboards coming out/Logitech MX1000
2.Onkyo 7.1 System
3.Thermaltake Tsunami
4.Creative Labs X-Fi Xtreme Music
5.AMD FX-60
6. Dual Ati x1900xtx's
7.PC&C 850w
8.Asus A8R32-MVP Deluxe
9.2x1gb kit of g.skill

11. WD Raptor 150gb
12. Sycthe Ninja/120mm panaflo
13. Lite-On DVD +/- DL Burner
14. Nice mousepad
Instant Ownage
Go with
Asus SLI32X MOBO,
2x XFX 7900GTX XXX Edition OC'ed,
4 GB of Crucial or OCZ CAS2 DDR400,
2x WD RAPTOR 150's RAID 1,
Thermaltake 600W PSU
Creative X-FI,
Thermaltake Armor Case,
Thermaltake BIG Water 120 Cooling system,
and a AMDX2 4800
Also, Plexxtor makes a sweet SATA DVD/RW, Go all the way.
Add a 19" Samsung 940B with sub 8ms Response and top it off with a bang.
BTW any thing with Dell on it belongs in the garbage.Comment

Re: $3500-$4000 to spend!
I read an article on Tom's Hardware comparing the Xtreme music and the one with the XRAM, and the reviewer said the XRAM didn't offer much improvement in sound quality or FPS in a game. It was only a second to half a second faster in very minor encoding and decoding benchmarks.Originally posted by Death MerchantComment

Re: $3500-$4000 to spend!
ok lets say only spend like $2000 i think thats a good number. I want a good gaming pc just to play all the new games on nothing more, manly BF2. AMD based, Nvida based graphics, Asus or DFI mother board, and the rest whatever you guys think is good.
Thanks.Comment

Re: $3500-$4000 to spend!
Except that their not, and you can't have HDR+AA with nvidia makes me want to go ati this round. Sure crossfire isn't that mature yet, but when it works it works great and considering a x1900xtx is faster than a 7900gtx makes it a no brainer.Originally posted by Sir. j-trainComment

Re: $3500-$4000 to spend!
Hmm, you must not have noticed that the board he posted is one of the new ATI R580 chipset boards which are excellent. Crossfire is working just fine now.Originally posted by Sir. j-train
People don't realize that unless you are using high resolution monitors crossfire is pointless. Two powerful graphics cards like the X1900 or 7900 create a bottleneck with your CPU, and show little performance gains over single cards for this reason.
@ Col.Moore:
Get the Xfi extremem music sound card instead of the Audigy 2. Get an extra 250Gb + hard drive for storage, something 16mb cache and Sata II. Also I don't see why you are going with a 7800 over a 7900 version?Comment
