my new system

[manx_777]

Hi All,

You see this alot, but I just built this system in February. So far no problems at all as long as I keep the 8800 drivers up to date. Just wanted you op ions. I was hoping to build a system that would be good for 3 or 4 years. Should I do any extra cooling? I spent about 3k on this and this parts have all ready dropped 500 is 6 months. I can live what that. Did I spend to much money?

Im assuming alot of the money went towards the Ultimate and the GTX...

Would have been good choices at the time i have something similar at home cept with E6600 which was probably the best value for money at the time.

I think its a coolmaster STACKER not SLACKER but all looks good man, you find its not adequate in a little whiles time you can look at OC the **** outta the CPU and GPU to get your performance gains (which will need the extra cooling you talked about)
