total with monitor and case: 1506$
if theirs anything better for a little more money i could probably do it
Not sure if this was mentioned already but the i7 860 wont be compatible with the bloodrage mobo because the sockets for the 860 require 1156 socket thus the bloodrage has the 1366 socket. As most people have said already, get the i7-920.
My friend said
PC Power and Cooling is arguably the best power supply you can buy.
Read this article to the end, and look at the numbers closely.
I use nVidia cards also, but if I...estly it is not worth the extra price for it.
Incorrect, the GTI bloodrage is cfx&sli, your thinking of the FlamingBlade gti.
Again, that graphics card will not run crysis anywhere near maxxed, not even a 5850 will totally max out crysis(i should know, i have one and used to run two in SLI, even in SLI you cannot max crysis with that card). The i7 limiting a 5850? Honestly, your friend seems to not know anything about what he is talking about, currently games are GPU limited, not CPU limited.Hi i talked with my friend and he said that the video card would make the processer the limiting factor. He also said that this video card he has will run Crysis on max which is basically the most demanding game i play.

also the power supply he said was not good at all and he recomended this

he also convinced me that i should run two hard rives not in R.A.I.D. this was the best that came up

Newegg ratings dont mean anything, i have used velociraptors and personally benchmarked them as well, they are slower read/write than the caviar blacks OR the 7200.12 line, and the 2ms decrease in seek time isnt going to help much at all, the only real way to get any better than a 7200.12 or Caviar black is to go with an SSD.he said something about running the OS and other essentials on the velocirapter and the other one for storage games. The velocirapter is very high rated on Newegg if it matters much.
Could drop down to an i5 setup, but bear in mind you wont be able to SLI or Crossfire very effectively due to it being limited to 16 total pcie lanes.o.k. i have a cavier black from before that i can use so i dont need any other drives. I'm going to have to decrease now tho because my other friend who was going to give me an OS from his work at a cheap price can't. i calculated it and with the cheap video card my friend recomended im still 200$ over budget which is allowable but the video card is apparently not good enough. where can i decrease?
Yeah, that would be with the 5850. Generally speaking, youll lose a bit of speed due to no hyperthreading, however the i5 is still one of the faster cpu's on the market. If you shop around, youll probably be able to find a socket 1156 i7 860 for similar price however, and will provide similar performance to the 920.is that still with the 300$ vid card?
also im going to need some sort of internal computer modem so i can hook up to the internet.
will i be sacrificing any significant speed when getting these components?
