Dual 8500's? Hmm... Think I would upgrade that to a single 8800gts

Thats a cheap case, looks cool, but lots of cheap plastic parts.

That motherboard is not one of the best. Its good for overclocking, but needs alot of fans to keep it cool. So then again water cooling might be a good idea with that motherboard.

I like gigabyte boards much more, better tech support and online web support.

But yeah, looks like a decent price.

Can you post a link to that shop? If it's the one I am thinking about, you will not want to purchase from them. But there are 3 different places with that name, so it makes a difference which one you are going with.


Edit; You already did post it.
 
oh wow i didnt even know that
thanks a bunch for telling me
would it be wise to just buy parts from newegg.com and try to have somebody build it instead ?
 
There are some simple steps to do, but if you do them in the correct order, then you will have no problems. Just follow the manual from your motherboard and it will go smooth. Windows pretty much installs it's self.

Yes there can be difficulty's, but you would be better off learning what they are from the beginning, that way you can trouble shoot problems in the future.
 
ty so much paratwa you've been so much help to me
gonna browse around newegg.com to see what parts i can get with a budget of 900-1100 :D
 
I can not view that wishlist from newegg. You will need to copy and paste the link to the part you want us to look at.
