Lol what the hell.... thats like... wow

I would get 3870x2 just because you like spending so much.

Also... two 500 GB HDD's considering with those specs you should... lol

:D for all i know i might be doing something incredibly cpu and gpu intensive lol state of the art right now, im just dieing for that skulltrail mobo
 
Very nice, very expensive and very, very loud indeed. It'll be good, but that board has a fan on it and when everything is going hell for leather all the fans will ramp up!
 
case comes standard of the company but, i can tell you that is, a cooler master stacker 832, and teh 8800's are really cheap, i might opt for a pair of 9800x2's when available, and when i got to collage i want people to know i have a computer rofl :D
 
The problem is though with Intel going for 32nm now and SSD drives making an entry that PC could become out-dated in a matter of months, no matter how much you spend on it. In 7 years time that PC won't be able to play the latest games on full, if at all if Crytek do another game requiring something similar to the IBM BlueGene machines.
 
Yeah but times are moving on, faster and faster all the time. My PC is not outdated and it's less than 18 months old. 7 years is an eternity in computing (look back at 2001) and see how far we've moved on.
 
Try 8GB of this:
G.SKILL 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory ($160)

Such intense OC ability... wow.
 
wow thats crazy expensive... probably save a few grand by building it yourself... then again you might destroy all the parts :P
 
i would build it myself, but i think it would just be easier to order it, if you google skulltrail you don't exactly get very many results, someone posted a link somewhere around here, but it was special order anyway, and i like the case styling(unsure as to how it is spelled)
 
:\ err uh... i have connections? well anyway the way i figure if i can make 140 dollars a day in the summer for about 60 days in total that should be it
 
my friends mom owns a bar and 8 hours @7 an hour is 56 dollars, and all the tips in that period are put in a jar and split among the employees :D
 
Sorry to say, but if that computer is really 6k, I would suggest you get a bomb, tho a smaller one for 3k instead and in 3-4 years, get another one for about the remaining 3k(which you would have saved with interests) and you got yourself a much nicer computer in college. Think about it people will know you have a computer now and even when people compare to yours in 12 months, they will be like wow... but in 4 years, people will know you have an old computer, in 5 years, it will be good for school stuff and in 6 years people will say that their grandparent had a computer yours back in the days and in 7 years, people will refer to your computer as a myth or as a paper weight.

Ok, maybe I exagerated a bit :D... but I mean, between a 3k and 6k machine there isn't that big of a difference in performance right now, but in a few years, the 3k machine would beat the crap out of the 6k.

Sorry again, I know you don't want to hear that.
