I was here a while ago asking for what parts would be good to make a amazing computer. (i was the 80k budget guy... but i don't want to spend that much for this anymore...).
So i was running over some stuff today and i found out that the AM2 whatever you guys were telling me about wasn't a big increase. So i came here asking what i sould do, but i ran over some threads/posts about Quad-Core processors early next year... So what i am gona do is buy a computer now get a new quad-core computer when it comes out... this is what i figured out for now:
AMD Athlon 64 FX60 2.6GHz w/ 1GHz HT Socket 939 Dual Core Processor
ASUS A8N32-SLI Deluxe ATX AMD Motherboard
CORSAIR 2GB (2 x 1GB) DDR 550 (PC4400) 2 of this 2 pack... So then i will have 4gb.
eVGA Geforce 7900GTX 512MB 2 of these.
Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Elite Sound Card
For the harddrives, tell me what SCSI Card to get:
C: Seagate Cheetah 15K.4 147GB 3.5" SCSI Ultra320 68pin 15,000RPM Hard Drive
D: Seagate Cheetah 10000RPM 10K.7 300GB 3.5" SCSI Ultra320 80pin Hard Drive
E: HITACHI Deskstar 7K500 500GB 3.5" SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive
F: PLEXTOR 18X DVD±R DVD Burner included Replaceable beige front bezel Black
G: PLEXTOR 18X DVD±R DVD Burner included Replaceable beige front bezel Black
Hauppauge WinTV PVR 350 Video Recorder, TV/FM Tuner Card
COOLER MASTER Stacker Silver Computer Case With Side Panel Window
PC Power & Cooling Turbo-Cool 1KW 1000W Power Supply
Microsoft A9O-00007 Infrared WinXP Media Center Remote Control
Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 w/Update Rollup Release 2
Microsoft 2-Tone Wireless Keyboard
i have 2 dell 30" monitors... would i be able to get two more because i have 2 video cards? so in all would i be able to have 4 dell 30" monitors?
Also, recently i have been learning lots about overclocking... I overclocked my processor i have now and i would like to see what i can overclock in this system... (even though i know i prolly won't need to.) So these are my cooling questions:
the case holds up to 9 120MM fans, so i will take out the one it comes with, and put 9 of these in...
What is the best of:
Thermaltake CL-P0257 Blue orb II CPU Cooler for LGA775 & K8
ZALMAN CNPS7700-CU 120mm 2 Ball Cooling Fan with Copper Heatsink
ZALMAN CNPS9500 LED 92mm 2 Ball Blue LED Light Cooling Fan with Heatsink
Thermaltake Big Typhoon CL-P0114 120mm Cooling Fan with Heatsink
SILVERSTONE SST-NT06 120mm 2 Ball CPU Cooling Fan/Heatsink
also is this good stuff?
and would it hurt to get this and would it hurt to get this?
i know i don't need all that cooling, but i really want to see how well i can overclock my hardware... i don't know alot about overclocking now, but i am trying to learn lots about it... and if i want to go to crazy extremes would this stuff come in handy?
