Still, dont excpect to get Liquid Nitrogen, and dont expect to beat the world record.

Praetor's pc won't break 20k on 3dmark. For one thing, it's only got a single video card, and 3dmark loves SLI setups. Also, it's designed as a balanced system (huge amounts of storage that won't be needed for a record breaking attempt). And I don't think that RAM is designed for serious overclocking either!

You wouldn't need that 8.5K PC for 3dMark'05. It wouldn't utilize:

Fujitsu MAU3073NP 74GB 8MB ($364.00)
Fujitsu MAU3073NP 74GB 8MB ($364.00)
Fujitsu MAU3073NP 74GB 8MB ($364.00)
Maxtor DiamondMax10 250GB 16MB SATA3.0 ($101.00)
Maxtor DiamondMax10 250GB 16MB SATA3.0 ($101.00)
Maxtor DiamondMax10 250GB 16MB SATA3.0 ($101.00)

which cuts out like, $1350, and the nearly $500 monitor isn't gonna help you either. Praetor built that ocmp for some1 who is actually gonna use it.

By ths point, that's redundant information

Pssstt... the mobo I picked only has 1xPCIx16 slot



Personally I'd put however much money it takes to get some form of computer certification (say something baseline like MCSE) and then you'd know something or two about computers...
