With my tax refund I plan on getting a new desktop. I have budgeted around $2,000 I looked at a few websites and decided on getting a gamer paladin F850.

what I am going for is a system that will be able to play almost any game on high to max settings for another 2 years.

This is the build.
processor:
Intel Core i7 Processor 940 (4x 2.93GHz/8MB L3 Cache)

Power supply:
650 Watt -- Casegears ECO-Element 80 Plus Certificated High Efficiency Power Supply

cooling:
Certified CPU Fan and Heatsink ( I may get a liquid cooling set if its needed.)

Motherbord:
MSI X58 Platinum SLI Intel X58 Chipset CrossFire and SLI Supported w/7.1 Sound, Triple-Channel DDR3, Dual Gb LAN, S-ATA Raid, USB 2.0, Dual PCI-E MB

memory:
6 GB [2 GB X3] DDR3-1333 Triple Memory Module Corsair XMS3 Dominator w/DHX technology

Video Card
2x Nvidia GeForce 9800GT 1GB running SLI mode

Hard drive:
1 TB HARD DRIVE [Serial-ATA-II, 3Gb, 7200 RPM, 16M Cache]

Souns card:
Creative Lab Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio

Network card:
Killer K1 - Online Gaming Accelerator - w/ 333Mhz Network Processing Unit + Lag & Latency Reduction Technology

OS:
Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium 64 bit
 
That killer network card is useless dont get one of those.
How much is that system gonna run you?
 
lose the network card, you wont see one bit of differnce with the onbored network

you should get 2 4870's in crossfire insted of the 9800 it will cost a little bit more but its way better
 
ok I save 100 dollars by switching to a Intel Pro 10/100/1000 Network Card
and the 2 4870's in crossfire is only 200 more then the 9800s but still under 2k all together. thanks for the info
 
ok, well then it looks pretty solid, the proccesser you picked is at
4x 2.93GHz/8MB L3 Cache) but you could go for the cheaper proccesser and save about 250 bucks and just overclock it to that or you could even buy the water cooling and overclock it way more then that and still save 200 bucks
 
Yeah why not get the 920 and overclock it.
The motherbaord comes with a network card built in.
 
Thanks again for all the info. You have saved me some cash and informed me well. I just have 2 more questions.

Will I be able to achieve my goal of high to max settings on almost any game? and for how long 1 years maybee 2?

And will I have enough power to support the duel vid cards. Even with overclocking?
 
yeah you will have enough power for 2 cards and enough left to overclock, just you will have to upgrade psu if you want to get another card,

that pc could run everything you through at it at max settings, it could handle crysis easy and any other game

that should last any game for quite a few years probably more then 4 years, duel 8800's are strong enough for crysis, and they came out a 2 years ago
