i am not going to overclock with the stock cooler i will get after market cooler later

budget 1500

price $1,455.53

os windows 7 64 bit

and maybe ubuntu linux 64 if it works with core i7

i will be upgrading to the cooler master v10 when i get the extra money and do a overclock of 3.2 or 3.6ghz
 
i dont like wireless and i will be adding 3 hard drives of a total of 4 plus 2 hot swap bays plus i will add the 4890 x2 when it comes out and plus i will need a blu-ray drive
maybe more
 
Pick one thread and stick with it, you dont need 4

You have gotten a variety of opinions in all 3 of those do you really need a 4th? Also there will not be an official 4890x2 it will only be produced by partners so the pricing wont be standardized. Also get the 640GB caviar black its currently the same price for more storage and better speed.

And you really dont need all of those hard drives, i dont know why anyone would need that many hard drives let alone a 15 year old.
 
i want the 500gb so i can raid0 4 of them you cant have a os raid0 no more then 2tb
so if i get 1 500gb then later 2 3 4 then i will have more power later less power now see what i mean i will use the ich10r has dvd drive blu-ray drive 4 500gb drives raid 0
then asus raid for 2 1tb green drives then i will have all i will ever need
 
dude learn how to use punctuation. dont they teach you kids anything anymore?

your build is fine, but you dont, and will never need all that storage unless you are generating a lot of data, working with large data sets in some sort of medium (mathematics/3D/etc). and i can tell that you are doing neither. save yourself some dough, and put the money towards something better.

for your case and PSU, check out this combo:

awesome case+ awesome PSU (850w is FINE for you) and a discount price? cant go wrong.
 
I would advise against setting up a 4 RAID0 setup.

1st: there is no need for a 2TB RAID0. You will not see that much of a benefit by doing so. You be better off running either a SSD as a your OS drive and having the 640GB as a secondary drive or wait for the WD 2TB Black to come out & run your OS from a 640GB Black.

2nd: Running that many drives in RAID0 will only increase you chance of a disk failure or disk read failure then you lost all of your data.
 
Dont build a giant golden phallus its just going to corrode and be worthless soon anyway, save your money and buy smart now instead of gold plating everything go with things that will be upgradeable in the future and save your money for it then because $300 now buys you a great graphics card, but $300 next year will buy you a vastly superior graphics card. Dont do quadfire there is no need for it, get 1 4890 for now and then upgrade to the new 5xxx series when it comes out with the money you saved.
 
a troll is someone (like you) who just makes crap up on forums in order to attract attention to themselves. like this thread. i am very curious to hear where you will be getting $1500 (+ about 1000 extra for all the other items you want to add) at such a young age. i mean its certainly you if you wanna talk about parts. and configuring PC's is a fun way to pass the time, but i dont think many people are taking this thread seriously.
 
^+1... hunter315

You don't need 4 hard drives to "show off" your computer. People will be more impressed with a more power for less theory. Don't spend your money on "add-on bling" when it adds no real benefit to your system's overall performance. Listen to what hunter315 said and save the extra money to buy something that will make a true impact to your system. $1500 is a lot to spend & save up so spend your money wisely!
 
i dont write stuff on forums to show off i am trying to show off the computer and ps i am 15 workers perment
i will be getting 200 infrom some work i did and yea you r write
 



hey hey hey, comon now x.x thats not nice D: im 15 too lol, i sold my xbox to get 500 bucks, and my parents are putting in the rest, i dont see whats wrong with that.

But yeah, try not to spam, google is SO awesome, for benchmarks, threads and such, its simply amazing. Im sure if you stick in "4890x2 build" you could find alot of links to many builds.

*To people asking why he has 4 HDD's in RAID 0* Seriously? Is'nt it obvious...what else for obsurd amounts of pr0n?

But yeah...4 HDD's in RAID 0, i dont recommend, if just one drive fails, your screwed, pretty much. Your obvously gonna be playing games (like me) because of the 2 4890's, so you only need 1 HDD, with that many you might even add a lil heat to your system 😛

DONT TAKE THE RISK AND USE A STOCK COOLER!!! lol, just buy everything together once you get all the money rounded up
