JESUS!!!
Got some money? lol

The one yu have listed should be fine...even i fyou OC'd everything it would be fine. UNless you start putting 10HDD's in your rig or you have 25 fans or something rediculous i dont know about....your fine.

thats a beast rig, Are you going to OC anything?

 

[dece870717]

I dont want to OC unless i have to, since it just uses up more power and shortens lifespan of hardware.Only time i would OC is if my games slow down too much which i dont think will happen for a while.

LOL!!!!

No, your games wont be slowed down for a VERY VERY VERY LONGASS TIME!!


but OC'ing desn't lower the life of yoru parts...Cpus are designed to last for 24/7 operation for like 20years....OC'ing to the cpu's max but keeping the temps down to under 60C (which truely isn't hard at all) the cpu will last 10yrs....
Hell even if you abuse the cpu and let the temps go to 75C your cpu will last 5 years or so....and with the money you are throwing at this i assume in 5yrs you wont have this compuer around.


But for what yu have, you dont need to OC at all....jus sometrhing i was asking about.....


BTW, you may want to buy a new 250Gb HDD....reusing old HDD's is quite alright, but the longer you have them the more likely they are to fail. I would say if you are spending $2500 for a computer you can afford $100 for a new HDD to make sure you data doesn't die.

Thanks for the info aobut OCing stuff, didnt know too much about it. Also the 120GB is only like a year or two old plus i only put EXTRA stuff on the 120GB music,videos,etc. nothing really important or irreplaceable.

well in that case i guess you're alright with the old drive

Yeah...There are people wh have rigs that run OC'd 24/7 for more then 6years now....no problems.

Its something people dont understand, but its a great tool for those of us who can't drop this kind of coin on a computer.

WHats your total bill comming to if you dont mind me asking.

 

[dece870717]

about $3000

 

[pickxx]

Whoa, thats beast!!

What speakers do you have with your expsensive card?
And what monitor setup do you have?

 

[dece870717]

I have Logitech 2.1 Z-2300 which are like 6 months old and a Sennheiser HD280 PRO headphones. I just wanted a good sound card cause i've heard that it can boost game performace too.

I got a Black NEC Accusync 21" monitor which i got for free from my cousin cause like his boss died and like it was some pc type place and he got a crap load of hardware like 20 SCSI drives, printers,scanners and bunch of stuff but he sold all that stuff on ebay. LOL actually now that i think about it he didnt really GIVE it to me i said i would borrow it for a while since it was just sitting there and he just never asked for it back and its been like 2 months.

You should get the Z-5500's....I have heard nothing but good things about them.

Also look into a Dell 2405, AMAZING screen for gaming. 24" LCD that is FLAWLESS for gaming, movies, or anything,

 

[dece870717]

I would want some 5.1 speakers but the problem is i wouldnt have anywhere to put them, more like itd be in the way too,Plus if i put the headphones i got on its close enough to surround sound. Eh this monitor is fine,itd really be a waste to buy a new monitor.Before this 22" i had a crappy 17" that practically lost all of its brightness.
