Why only the 1 74GB? Most people but that in RAID with a larger drive.

Re: New pc build in 2 weeks

When you say tax time you meant rebate right? Cause if your just paying them good luck covering the debt off this baby.

Don't go for the FX-60, go for one of the lesser Dual core opty's and overclock it, invest the diffrence in a GTX 512. I'd also skip the raptors as well, just get some good SATA drives with 16MB of cache. Other than that looks pretty good.

Re: New pc build in 2 weeks

which cpu u talking about and which hard drive is good then jimmy

and yea iI know its only little bit of what They have took from me in taxes

Re: New pc build in 2 weeks

CPU

Will easily overclock to faster than the FX-60 and is $350 cheaper.

HD

http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.asp?N=2010150014+70002024+70002020&Submit=ENE&SubCategory=14&Order=price

Any of those should be good, not a raptor, but close to the performance and more storage for less money.

Re: New pc build in 2 weeks

thanks man for the help

Re: New pc build in 2 weeks

if u have a computer that runs bf2 I would wait and build a computer when the G71's come out and the socket AM2 comes out

[lil_jimmy_norton]

Re: New pc build in 2 weeks

IMO AM2 isn't worth waiting for... I'd wait for the next progression which is rumored to have on-board PCI-e controller. AM2 just doesn't offer anything that will be worth the cost IMO.

[|D|-Char-ley_Killa]

Re: New pc build in 2 weeks

what ever, I know I cant wait for AM2 cause I ahve intel and DDR2 and im to broke to spend money on a new mobo chip and ram. it would be like atleast 300 bucks for 2 gigs of new ram. so the DDR2 support is appealing

Re: New pc build in 2 weeks

Save some money, get the A64 4000+. Unless you neeeed a dual core FX60 to make your e-penis larger. Then you can OC the **** out of it. Get a Thermaltake Blue Orb cooler. Its cheaper then the Zalmans and does a better job (holds my 3700+ to 26*C on idle, no warmer then 32*C).
