Wow...mods, anyone??

OP - design a system and then have it critiqued I usually find is the best way to get a decent end result. Unless you have absolutely no idea at all, in which case ask a few Q's and post what you want to use it for.

Back on track *glare* how about some basic preferences? ATI/NVIDIA, AMD/Intel Abit/Asus/MSI/etc?

Shut up u fucin geek...im the ****** law around here.

You suck...reallllly badly.

I don't think that's a good idea - that just breeds fanboyism.

Getting a feel for what he needs the system for first I think is a better step, then we can flame each other to oblivion. :roll:

 

[Fox_Aquatis]

Didn't think about the fanboy thing, my bad.

Here's a valid question: Are the optical drives from your old comp still useable?

 

[Derek1387]

i sold EVERYTHING.. including monitor and KB, i am starting over.

 

[Derek1387]

and i would like to go Core 2 and Nvidea..

So last week I went to see this movie, and it was awesome. It was about fairies beating the crap outta ogres. The ogres were small and pink except they were really clever with gadgets and whatnot and built a big green monster to hide in. The fairies were all big and hairy except they had wings which is just adorable. Anyway, the moral of the story is to no do drugs.

BTW gtfo and gb2 4chan.

 

[shinigamiX]

I heard those guys are making a sequel where the ogres get back at the fairies using robots shaped like dinosaurs. I'm soooo gonna go see that one.

 

[Fox_Aquatis]

So that means a power supply too correct (just clarifying)?

 

[shinigamiX]

Asterisks are cool.

 

[Baked_Bean]

Bit like u Loosers Completemntin each other on your CPU speeds on this sad rse place? Thort so .

 

[Fox_Aquatis]

Although I know that this is just going to be spammed anyway does nobody else here remember their builds when they asked others for help? Were you totally ignored and flamed all to hell? You sound like you're fighting on a playground or something with insults you got from some lame 'yo mamma' site. It wouldn't kill you to at least not spam this thread, create one in the random section and spam *that* one to death for christ's sake. *prepares for spam*

And I included a case because the price difference with a decent power supply made it worth getting. I'm kinda partial to EVGA although some might say go for the x1950pro for that price but EVGAs upgrade policy wil make it easy to go DX10 if u choose to sometime in the future. Take off the rebates and your under 1100 before shipping and all u need is a keyboard and mouse which i assume u probably have.

Needs a decent cooling system if he plans to overclock.

Something along the lines of Arctic Freezer, something Scythe...or the Tuniq Tower 120.

 

[shinigamiX]

My bad, I'll grow up now...

Just suggesting some alternatives, they're about the same so it's up to you...

ASUS P5B Deluxe for a motherboard and
X1950Pro for a video card - it performs better but rquinn is right about the upgrade policy.

8O I'm pleasantly surprised, thanks for helping out.

 

[minim3]

buy 2 Geforce 8800 GTX for sli!!! that would leave you with erm....no more money to spend to other not very meaningful components like (lolz) m/b,cpu etc!!!!

But you gonna be the coolest one around here saying you own 2*8800 gtx!!! thats count for something, huh?

Tuniq Tower 120 seems to be the best for OCing (according to what I've read recently at least). Plus, price isn't bad on Newegg. Do a search on the forumz for more details on the TT120.

You're calling him a geek ? Yet you're the one spamming a PC forum ?

There is only one word that describes you.

And that word is TWAT.

Also could you learn how to spell ? You sound like a fucking 8 year old. In fact you probably are a fucking 8 year old.

 

[mesarectifier]

The Tower 120 was what most of the big prerelease E6600/6700 ES OC's were done on. The reason that other coolers like the Ninja etc... have sold so well is because pretty much nowhere stocks the Tuniq for some reason. However I believe Newegg now has them, so that's good for everyone.

Except me, who can't get stuff off Newegg. Oh well!

FYI: labbby got the TT from somewhere other than Newegg that might ship to where you are at. If you're interested I'd PM him or search for his thread on the Tower 120.

Anyway, they had to stop production of TT120 due to some sort of production issues (as far as I know, I heard that somewhere so it's not fact), but now they have started manufacturing again and they are becoming readily available. I'd keep an eye open because you can probably buy one now if you look around (froogle maybe?).
