Hey Guys,

I was looking into an ibuypower rig a few days ago and have managed to finalize what seems to be the build spec. Would you mind taking a look over and let me know if this looks compatible and solid? Thanks! I'd like to place the order today sometime.

Let me know. My only question was the thermal compound aspect, does it really make that much of a difference over stock thermal compound?
 
Hey, if you live in the US I would highly recommend building it yourself from newegg.com, or in Canada, newegg.ca. Just give us a budget and we can help you, and you will save a fair bit of money.

Otherwise, yeah, looks pretty good. As for the thermal compound, there is no such thing as "stock" compound, its either good and bad. And yes, it makes a difference, how well heat transfers mostly (I think).
 
I was going to build it myself, but alot of those components come free, or discounted.

Also an edit is I have windows 7 home premium now, so no need to buy it. Free shipping and lifetime 3 year warranty makes it hard to build myself. I did two other rigs and it was headaches when something went wrong.

I hoping to avoid this.
 
Yea but before they give you a discount they also mark it up so it evens out. Unless you plan on doing something big once you get it a 1000w psu is excessive, you plan on rocking dual 5970 or what.
