let me know how the parts are, especially the watercooling

 

[M0ddingMan1a]

wow.... intense.

 

[ripken2004]

well is there anything i should change or is it all good?

 

[joshj]

I would change the Wireless part. Get .11g You'll appreciate it sooner or later. And, get it as a PCI or PCI-E x1 card. It'll work better than usb, I think.

 

[ripken2004]

its not for this comp, its for another crappy one, ill be moving the modem+router into another room

 

[flame1117]

um.. if you got allot of money go for a AMD x2 4800+ not like you need it thats a GREAT system...

 

[M0ddingMan1a]

i agree, very.. agressively powered system.

nice monitor and cpu

OCZ 2GB (2 x 1GB) 184-Pin DDR SDRAM Unbuffered DDR 400 (PC 3200) Dual Channel Platinum - Retail

Any extended details on what this is? Given the processor and the motherboard, you might want to consider OCz VX memory (or Mushkin Redline)

Logitech MX518 931352-0403 2-Tone 8 Buttons 1x Wheel USB + PS/2 Optical Mouse - Retail

Cant help but suggest you consider the MX1000

BFG Tech BFGR68256UOCX Geforce 6800Ultra 256MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI-Express x16 Video Card - Retail

You might want to consider the 6800GT ... much more financially sound as the difference is 25/50 MHz (especially if you consider overclocking)

DFI LANPARTY nF4 SLI-DR Socket 939 NVIDIA nForce4 SLI ATX AMD Motherboard - Retail

w00t w00t

Creative Labs Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Retail

prolly save some money on the OEM

pump DD Acetal MAZE4

Thats actually a waterblock Id suggest you consider the PolarFlo http://www.frozencpu.com/ex-blc-102.html (just noted you have 1/2" setup but this comes in 1/2" too if i recall)

 

[ripken2004]

well i guess my comp is almost perfect, dont wna waste 500 more on a cpu when it wont make a difference, im not on an unlimited budget , trying to make it under 4k

what do u think about the watercooling?
ive been thinking bout getting this gpu block:
http://www.dangerdenstore.com/product.php?productid=64&cat=0&page=1
is it the best out i could get for a 6800?

 

[Praetor]

im not on an unlimited budg

In that case, drop the vidcard a notch

Yeah i like that DD GPU block.

@praetor:
- apparently i screwed up my watercooling list, gunna fix that up
- if i was gunna get 1gig i would get the redline(vry good reviews) but i want 2gigs
cus i do alot of photoshopping and programming
-never knew bout that mouse, SWEET
-the difference for the cards is 55/100 according to neweggs cards, but i think ill
go gt anyways, what would be the best fot gt? evga i think or would it still be bfg?

2GB Redline is prolly stupid expensive but 2GB of Corsair 4400C25 may not be too bad

BFG card is better because it comes stock overclocked and has a better air cooling solution. HOWEVER, you plan on using watercooling and the OC amount isnt significant so really, get the cheapest one you can find

Well Redline, VX, its all stupid expensive. ('sides we dont know what type of OCz you were getting ... see my first question)

 

[ripken2004]

[ripken2004]

my comp looks pretty good now, i just need some help on the best possible water cooling parts, i just kinda put those together- so are all of the watercoolong parts good or what?

 

[Praetor]

Seems ok ... dont forget fans for the rad

 

[ripken2004]
