I am building going to build a Gaming PC with a budget of up to $15000 and I would like some input on what the specs should be. Please feel free to place your input whatever it is and thank you. :D
 
dual 42" HDTV LCD is wat I'd get, on top of fx57 and dual 7800GTX. 4 gigs of 2 cas latency XMS... water cooling... damn...
 
oops :eek: yeah I wouldn't need to ask questions if I could spend that much on a computer...Yes the price range is $1500 sorry guys and Im glad you caught the mistake.
 
s939 3500+ Venice
DFI NF4 Ultra-D - basic model, unless you want SLi which costs more (use onboard sound)
1-2GB of DDR400 or better (stick with the better brnads, your budget doesn't require Value RAM)
6800GT

SCSI/RAiD HDD (u pick size) try getting a higher RPM one with large buffer

sturdy case, pick what u like. make suer its aluminum/steel...not plastic or cheap metal.

at LEAST a 450w powersupply, but dont cheap on it. OCZ makes good ones, but there not the only ones.

do you need the monitor and all that too? that might limiit your actual computer fund to ~$1100 if you need speakers, monitor, operating system, software, keyboard, mouse.
 
The speakers, monitor, operating system, software, keyboard, and mouse are already included so I just need the to get the case and the guts.

Thanks should I really go with the AMD athalon 64 X2 3800+. why do I need 2 DVD burners, and I already have the os so I dont need that. where did you get the prices just for info. One last thing Thanks for the info.

i have no idea why u need even 1 DVD burner if you dont burrn DVD's. i never have and have never needed to burn a DVD on my own.

for performance, the X2 3800+ is great, but it's definetly now a necessity. a 3000+ Venice will suffice for insane gaming without the huge price tage. you decide how much power is worth the cash.

www.newegg.com is good but i think its only US.
