of course the antec 900 case. i know everyones got one but theres no wonder why. im contemplating wether to buy this to put computer parts in or to refrigerate my beer.

850 watts at an affordable price and good reviews, ill go with this PSU

no sli or crossfire, but thats not my goal. im looking for a good overclocking setup and this gigabyte mobo looks like a winner. reviews suggest it has a user friendly bios (something i WILL need) and easy overclocking. that and out of 24 reviewers, only one scored it 4/5 and the rest 5/5. something i never see with mobo reviewers.

i originally wanted to try a quad core processor because 4 cores is always better.......right? right?! i dont think thats always true. when i saw benchmarks of this processor, it was just jogging right behind the extreme series intel CPU's. that and the overclocking ability looks incredible.

i want to try this ram out. again i want to make this an overclocking computer, so i want as much cooling as possible on as many components as possible, and it comes with a bitchin cooler for them. every time i saw a computer with one of these i rave. very very cool upgrade (no pun intended)

probably a necessity if i want to overclock the cpu. good reviews though itll be a pain in the rear to get it in.

this will do for a dvd drive. i dont burn other cds i just write cds so i dont need another drive.

now how about we take this naked computer and give it some pants? i think a sapphire hd 4870 would do this computer just nicely.

WELL NOW thats my game computer build that i want. give me your thoughts, spot any compatibility issues and tell me, i dont think i overlooked anything but i could be wrong, im not a wiz like you people. my computer i have now was built from ground up by my friend who i watched throughout the process. its an athlon 64 3500 2.2ghz with 1 gig dual channel ram, and a radeon x1650 pro agp.

think ill run crysis on this at full power? (nevermind Anti aliasing)

how overclockable do you guys think this would be?

looks nice.

i actually like this case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119137

it doesnt have a side window but still great cooling potential...but that 200mm fan on the top is very appealing...

for the cpu i would actually go with the E8400 its just .16 GHz slower and i heard that you can do really good overclocking with it. and not to mention it is 20 bucks cheaper...

bleh! i need a tower with a window. with guts like that id want to be able to see it.

 

[phantomofrussia]

lol perfectly understandable

NZXT make great cases with windows-I love my Apollo case-but the Lexa looks good also. Lots of room inside and they are really quiet.

Right on!

Good bild it seems. That 4870 should smoke crysis!

If you can afford it, a HD4870 x2.

Look at the GameXStream PSU series.

No HDD?

ahh, good call, forgot to include hdd. any 500gig would do for me.

If your going to spend that kind of money and get that big a PS and a HD 4870 X2 ,you might want to go ahead and get a antec 1200.The Hd 4870 X2 might be pretty snug in a 900

err its a 4870 not 4870 x2. think the regular ones only require 450 watt psu
