NEED TO ORDER PARTS IN 2 DAYS!!! final components?

Superior Child24 · 08-12-2005, 02:56 AM

I know that this computer is overkill so don't bash me on that. From what I can tell, none of these components conflict with each other. I just wanted to see if you guys notice any components that a computer requires in order to run smoothly. Here is my set up:

Processor: AMD X2
Motherboard: DFI LanParty nf4 SLI-DR
Videocard: ASUS EAX800XT (I found one refurbished. if not, it's going to be the X800XT)
Soundcard: Soundblaster Audigy2 ZS Platinum
PSU: Silverstone ST65ZF Zeus 650
RAM: 1 gig OCZ PC4800 (DDR600) RAM
Hard drive: Hitachi 7K500 Deskstar with SATA 2 and 16mb buffer
Cd/DVD burners: 2 NEC ND-3520A burners
Cooling: swiftech H20-120 Revision 3a
Case: Lian Li PC-V1000 plus
Monitor: SAMSUNG 193P+ Silver 19" 8 ms
Speakers:... to be decided at Comp USA

+mouse and keyboard

needless to say... this is all coming from New Egg. Thanks for the input!

Get the X800XT.

Also check the prices from zipzoomfly.com They have free 2 day shipping and sometimes cheaper prices. It will save you maybe $100 or so overall. That Monitor is one hell of a deal for $400 from newegg.

looks good

Superior Child24 · 08-12-2005, 03:51 AM

Why the X800XT?

XHotxEx791 · 08-12-2005, 07:01 AM

Maybe get nvidia with SM3.0 and FP32 support.

Thats not a product, it's an entire product line. Which CPU?

You might as well get an X850XT ... the X800 lineup is, for all intents and purposes (if not literally), dead.

Cd/DVD burners: 2 NEC ND-3520A burners

1. The 3540s are out
2. To keep on par with the rest of the system ... why not Plextor 740s?

Thats what he listed.

Videocard: X850XT PE
Soundcard: Soundblaster Audigy2 ZS Platinum
PSU: Silverstone ST65ZF Zeus 650
RAM: 1 gig OCZ PC4800 (DDR600) RAM

Cd/DVD burners: PLEXTOR Beige IDE DVD Burner Model PX-740A/SW
Cooling: swiftech H20-120 Revision 3a
Case: Lian Li PC-V1000 plus

Speakers:... to be decided at Comp USA

Thanks for the help!

That seems almost perfect now. One thing I noticed. You are getting an SLI board with an ATI X850XT. You would do better by getting a Fireblade mobo when they come out or go for Nvidia 7800GTX if you intend to use SLI later.

Or even get the 7800GT which is competiviely configured for price/performance against the 68U/X850XT lineup

Superior Child24 · 08-13-2005, 06:35 PM

Thanks. I'll probably be getting the 7800 GTX. Do you think there would be any installation issues because of the inverted internal shappe of the case? Thanks again guys.
