What happen to your Core i7 975 build thread? Going with the 920 over the 975 would've been a better build than this one... If you added in one SSD with the cost savings off the 920

 

[Proximon]

As mentioned, your eggs are in the wrong basket. You are spending what, $550 on 3 cards then paying extra to get a board to support it?

If you want a sensible rig, get a i7 920 and a 5870, with the option to add a second later.

Say an 850HX PSU.

And why are you stuffing all the hot parts into a tiny case? is this for LAN parties? your description doesn't say so.

 

[GodlySnip33r]

So which ones better, and whichever one you choose, suggestions!!!!!!!!?
(I'm kind of new, hehe.. Sorry. )

 

[Proximon]

Here you go, a complete and reasonable system. No ego, muscle flexing, just optimum performance at a reasonable price.

^+1 To Proximon's build

Though i should add, anything with 2tb of hardrive space, a SSD, and Crossfire is totally ego/muscle flexing. It just didn't cost a fortune, lol.
