well, since my last post here isn't very popular I decided to change the topic altogether...
It's been 5 years since I build my last pc... and now with a HUGE bonus I've received last month, I think it's time to build a new machine...
So now, I humbly ask the help off all PC experts here to build me new extreme gaming pc
After roaming around dozens of forum and hundreds of post.. this is what I had in mind
■CPU : QX9650 ($1,052) or Q9450 ($370) *need expert recommendation
■Mobo : Asus Striker II Extreme ($460)
■Ram : 4 x 1gb Corsais Dominator DDR2 ($170) or 4 x 1gb Crucial Ballistix ($160) or DDR3?? *again, need opinion
■Graphic Card : 8800 GTX SLI ($900) or 9800 GX2 SLI ($1050)
■HardDisk : 2 x Seagate Barracude 7500.11 750 gb ($300)
■PSU : Enarmax Galaxy 1000W ($300) or PC Power & Cooling 1000w ($410)
■Sound Card : Sound Blaster X-Fi Platinum ($200)
■Cooling System : Thermalright IFX-14 ($70) *seriously need expert opinion
Grand Total : $2770 - $3712.. plenty more to sink in...
Feel free to scrap the whole list and make your own but I want Intel and Nvidia to stay there. And I'm particularly interested for opinion and suggestion for high end RAM and Cooling System / Kit
Thank you for all your suggestion and opinion
ps: I already have a nice monitor, speaker and mice+keyboard so you guys can just scratch it off the list
