price $2,016.77

overclock 3.2 to 4.0 ghz somewhere around there

will the memory and the cpu cooler work

will this motherboard overclock that high and will the fans cool good for that kind of overclock and no watercooling

will 2 of the GPUs crossfire and play any game in 1080p and maybe when the ati radeon 4890 x2 r here i can do quad gpu or 3 way gpu crossfire

i will add raptors and my goal is 4 raptors raid 0 and 1 2tb wd drive

and i will add blu-ray later
 
V10 is a waste of money. Go for the Noctua NH-U12P SE1366.

+1 on the 850HX

The VRap is also a waste of money, go for the WD6401AALS, it will be almost as fast, twice as large, and a third the price.
 
i will go for the ram thanks but the mobo i will go with asus and the power supply yes the only thang i see between the 2 is 1 more cpu 8 pin power
 

Where? I haven't seen anything to that effect. From what I have seen, the V10 is barely better than the $40-$50 coolers and weighs twice as much, putting much more strain on the MB and increasing the chance of damage if you move the computer around.
 
the computer will stay in 1 spot for most of the time if i move it i will turn it off and remove it but i want to know if i remove it will i need to replace the thermal compound and the case i have i can remove it and dont have to take the mother board out

What I'm seeing here is that the cooler only really shines at higher temps, holding those down better than air coolers.

If you want to save some money, get this proven air cooler:

And as I said before, the Corsair Dominator RAM is overpriced. The OCZ kit I linked will work fine.

Don't use Intel motherboards. They are quite gimpy.
 
I would go with your first build over your second build & take into account everyone's comments. We are trying to help improve upon your build.

Example: WD 640 instead of the WD 300 VRaptor. The 640 cost roughly $75 vs $225 for the VRaptor for close to the same performance. The group is trying to get you the best / better performance for equal or less money.

Example: 850TX vs 1000HX. You would be better suited with the 850TX, instead of spending more on a PSU wattage you don't require.

Give these some thoughts... :). You are way ahead of where I was at 15 but of course my super computer was a Commodor64 at that age :)
 
Intel motherboards don't overclock well, if at all. They also have had quality issues in recent years, perhaps because they don't sell many.

Gigabyte and Asus are the two brands you want to stay with for motherboards.
 
how about that it looks better
