[holyrage]

Hard to gauge what black Friday prices are going to be or what's going to be sold - but the high end stuff never gets discounted so keep that in mind.

Absolutely get an SSD - not only does it make booting easier but it will not erase but decrease heavy loads in resource hungry games like BF3 and Skyrim by at least 50%.

I don't think you'll be able to get 5GHz on this setup but 4.5GHz is easily achievable:

Try this build:

Case: Corsair Carbide 500R - $129.99

5.0ghz is left for only the best air coolers and is by no means easy to acheive on any cpu of the 1155 socket.

Air???? I think anything beyond 4+ would be difficult to achieve with an air cooler, even crazy liquid cooling setups - it'd be difficult to achieve anything beyond 4.5. I mean that one AMD configuration they only got to 8+ by using an experimental helium cooling configuration - something that's not available to the general public yet.

 

[g-unit1111]

I did 5.1ghz on my i5 with my noctua, so yes it is doable.
However this clock is what 10% of users can get to, i was lucky...

That's insane - I didn't know that was possible with an air cooler, shows you what I know! :lol:

 

[holyrage]

pft me and my friend did 5.5Ghz with Lquid nitrogine he's rich XD is was -128 belwo 0 lol but the pc is uglay he but a big tupe around the cpu but lquid in it

but i dont want a ugly pc so yah 5ghz is Overkill thats what i want lol

http://www.amazon.com/MSI-N570GTX-T...MAKU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1320700514&sr=8-1BTW ill be glad if i can max out BF3 he he he

BTW the monitor no need i have FHD 1080p 32inch 1920x1200 i think so yah and ill get sony playstion 3d tv 498$ !!!!

To say i have windows 7 disc right hear win 7 ultimate so yah 64 bit

to say the MOBO is pci 2 wich means? the asrock is FTW ? right so i dont have to change MOBO? the GA ud will spourt ivy but will not be able to run the nvidia 24nm GPU AKA GTX600

Corsair Force 3 120 GB SATA 3 SATA 6.0 Gb-s 2.5-Inch Solid State Drive

is it bad i save 365$?

ok so that cse is better then HAF x ? and is it better then 600t crosair?

still need to chose GPU and case and im done lol
plus PSU

lol 14 fan case WTF !!!!? how will i connect that? lol

but in minde that black friday is cheap friday so yah old parts will be cheap so yah i can sli 3 570 ! ? mype or evan 2 way sli 580 wich ill do if i can so i can 3 way L8ter
so yah i think 2 way sli 570 should do? from msi the must expansive one's hear

I'm not sure that will make much of a difference. The 600s should still be PCI-e x2.0 for now, if you want to be future proof for sure go for one of the new Asus or MSI boards with PCI-e x3.0 built in it, they shouldn't run you that much more.

ok so that cse is better then HAF x ? and is it better then 600t crosair?

I have the 600T - it's a nice case but it is BIG, so is the HAF X - the Carbide is half the size but still has the same interior room and cable management system as the 600T.

Corsair Force 3 120 GB SATA 3 SATA 6.0 Gb-s 2.5-Inch Solid State Drive

Good choice but I've heard this drive has a lot of BSOD issues. I'd stick with the Crucial M4, but if you wanted to get something else go with Plextor, Samsung, or Intel.

lol 14 fan case WTF !!!!? how will i connect that? lol

What case has 14 fans? Most usually give you two or three with the option to connect more, I don't even think that Silverstone PSU has enough connectors for 14 case fans... :lol:

IDC how huge the case is as long as i can fit H100 cooler but if i go with push-pull HAF x wins right? and Asrock is bad?

Nothing against Asrock. I'm thinking of buying their 990FX based board. What I'm saying is that if you for sure want to be future proof (SATA 6, USB 3, PCI-e x 3.0, etc) then go with Gigabyte, MSI, or Asus. With Asrock I'm not sure any of their boards have caught up with the technology yet.

As far as being able to mount a cooler like the H100 - the top of whatever case you choose has to be able to support a radiator with 2 x 120 mm fans. With some cases you will have to remove whatever top fan is included - most are around 200mm - and install the cooler that way. You definitely want to check the layout of your case - especially the top mounting brackets - before buying the H100.

 

[holyrage]

go to asrock and cheak the z68 bords see the extreme 7 gen 3 or fitalty gen3 best bords they made so far be for the asrock was dumb pice of shi* now they are better then ga for me ill go for asus asrock or msi tho iknow nothing about them but the asus gen-z/gen3 is 2 way sli?? y the fuc* DO THAY TO TAHT! Q.Q i like it but it is 2 way only Q.Q so that leave's me to cheak msi ill be back btw the haf x can use h100 with psuh pull set up u use 2x 200m and 120x4 fans for the radiator wich means cold radiator?? or should i go with the 600t since u know how to use it ?

 

[Gothams Finest]

That's insane - I didn't know that was possible with an air cooler, shows you what I know! :lol:

It shows you how good Noctuas are

 

[holyrage]

hhhh ur shiting* me 500$ for a mobo? hahahahh

 

[holyrage]

if i get that mobo dos it have any lan speeder's like asrock ftialty gen3 or extreme7 gen3 ?

so yah hear are the bords ill chose

msi big bang or asrock fitalty mobo or extreme7 gen 3 as rock so wich is better

then cohse psu

case is haf x

GPU 570 3 way sli or 580 2 way sli if they get cheaper on balck friday

and the rest rams dvd player SSD HHD leave it on me

 

[holyrage]

ok and what psu will my 2 and ill get a therd l8ter 580 GTX ? and after that ill but my final and u guys look it up see if it is good and then after 13 days ill buy it so yah i got 13 day's to go back and change something

 

[g-unit1111]

Yup and my Noctua is only small

It's not the size but how you use it. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

msi big bang or asrock fitalty mobo or extreme7 gen 3 as rock so wich is better

It looks like the big bang is a P67 - the Fatality is Z68 - go with the Z68 board.

The HAF X will definitely be able to support the H100 - there's plenty of mounting spaces on the top and it looks like it has some good cable management at that.

[holyrage]

so the big bang is bum bum after all ah NVM both are good but will the asrock OC will BTW im makeing my list in amazone rigth now >

 

[g-unit1111]

The big bang is an enthusiast class motherboard with bandwidth to throw at you here there and everywhere.
I would choose this over the asrock for sheer full x16 lanes in tri-SLi

It's a good board but it's still a P67, the Z68 is what you want if you want to be future proof.

 

[holyrage]

if i want to 2 way sli wich will get me 145 fps on 2 way sli 580 gtx on 16x-16x on asrock but when i 3 way it switch's to 16x-8x-8x so yah psu cooler master 1200w cheap and the best psu they ever made or the 1050ax crosair

 

[Gothams Finest]

Corsair Ax

 

[holyrage]

ok amazone us dosnt sell it argh im forced to go with the extreme 7 gen 3 the only difrance is that it is v8 not v12 engine XD

 

[g-unit1111]

Just my 2 quid...
3-way SLi bandwidth is what i was concentrating on but yes z68 is more future proof due to gen3.

Ah that makes sense. If that were the case I'd recommend the EVGA P67 FTW series over anything else he has so far. It's one of the easiest boards on the market to overclock your CPU, video card, and so on.

And I second the recommendation of the Corsair AX.

 

[holyrage]

isnt that old? it is G2 it i not future proof yes i my self i like future proof a lot i want to be future proof as much as i can

 

[g-unit1111]

isnt that old? it is G2 it i not future proof yes i my self i like future proof a lot i want to be future proof as much as i can

Well the reason I recommend the FTW series is that there's no other manufacturer out there that makes anything remotely comparable. EVGA's tech support is among the best in the business. With the FTW series - you can overclock either in the BIOS or via UEFI with like a few clicks and you're done. And they give you everything but the kitchen sink with these boards - you get front mounting USB bracket, all kinds of utilities, and that sort of thing, even their thermal grease. Check it out:

[holyrage]

yah tha ascrok heat sink look's like a kitchen knife lol

ok so they have a ftw z68 BTW so what now i switch from asrock to it? ok boss ! lol

no to the gpu in thes case IDK wich one argh if i can 2 way sli 580's ill be happy lol thears like 27 580's on amazone from 500to 700 !!! the 560 ti have a lil issue lol they cant seem to run good on BF3 they lag to much so yah i need from 570 -580-590

BTW z68 or P68

and will it fit in my crosair 500r?

 

[g-unit1111]

If you're gonna go all out, that's the motherboard I'd recommend over anything else - and get the Z68 FTW if they have it. It'll run a bit more but it's worth it in the long run.
