hi there, I am looking to invest some money into a new gaming computer, and I wanted to see if a quote I got is reasonable, here is the quote below...


CASE * NZXT Apollo (Black)
POWERSUPPLY * 1x HEC Zephyr 650Watt Power Supply
MOTHERBOARD * 1x Asus P6T (LGA1366)
CPU * 1x Core i7 920 2.66Ghz (LGA1366)
CPU FAN * Socket 1366 Active Copper Heatsink
RAM * 6x 2048MB DDR3/1333MHz Non-ECC Non-Registered Memory Module
FLOPPY * 1x 52 in 1 Internal Card Reader / Writer with USB
CD DRIVE 1 * 1x LiteOn 20X DVD+/-RW Dual Layer + CD-RW SATA Drive (Black) w/Lightscribe Technology
VIDEO CARD * 2x Nvidia GTX 285 1GB Dual DVI (PCI-E)
HARD DRIVE * 1x 1000Gb (1 Terabyte) 7200RPM 16Mb Buffer Serial ATA300 (SATA II) HDD
OS * 1x Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit (Installed w/CD) 64-bit (which I will switch to xp64)

quoted for $2061
 
I'd like to get a system that will run Flight simulator X at ultra graphics with addons at 80+ fps...


I am pretty novice when it comes to computer hardware therefore I'd prefer prebuilt.
 
you don't need 12GB, 6GB of RAM ought to hold well.... two 4890s would work and be a hell of a lot cheaper than two 285s

the CPU is great, you can OC it on a good aftermarket air cooler easily

shouldn't need a floppy drive

could buy a 1TB drive with 32mb cache

get a larger power supply, probably 800w for use with 2 video cards and the large amount your cpu will take up


is that quote from a place like ibuypower.com.... I suggest looking at their reviews before buying....

building your own is a great idea, just be research the basics of doing so and taking care for your parts in teh process

It is not a quote from ibuypower.com I read reviews of theirs and they seem very unprofessional.
