Im getting a new computer :D

[Matix]

Well yeah, soon im going to get a new computer (b4 u say "zomg more money taking nub" me and him are talking about it cause a friend of his is going to give him like $2k for my current pc cuz hes a noob and he thinks its ultra fast (it is but not 4 me.. lawl)

But yeah, im getting this sweet baby.

It includes: Best processor out, best ram out, best hdds (1 36gb for windows, 1 150gb for games, and im going to re-use my current 300gb for general programs, etc.) and best 2x graphics cards.

I should have like NO FPS lag in any game with this machine. Good part too is, its $4.5k.

http://www.ibuypower.com they actually down-market the prices on some stuff so you can more bang for your buck.

P.S. Seriously, me and my dad are talking about this. So no flame "zomg ur TAKING MOREM ONEYZ OMZG!"

Thanks

BTW: I will be selling my old computer parts in the market soon for low prices.. (Including my gfx card which no company produces anymore, the 7950GT 512MB Fact. Overclocked card)

i think you should consider my new liquid nitrogen cooling system

[raulperez]

Graphics cards = beautiful ( i have one of them )
good call on the raptor drives you'll definitely be able to feel the difference
all in all a good pc....

I say good because you called an intel the best processor on the market...that sir is a lie! if you want a GREAT computer you'll go with AMD

oh and liquid cooling (not nitrogen med ) will help with noise reduction... although the twin raptors might give it all back lol

[medici]

And for those noise troubles, why not try Medici inc's new range of vacuum boxes for PCs?, Perfect when used with our liquid nitrogen cooling system.

[Matix]

To be honest, http://www.tomshardware.com compare the best intel quad-core with amd's best processor, and you'll see the difference in every subject.

[raulperez]

dude there's nothing in the world that can be completely described by a measureable statistic... when your intel chip feels like sandpaper on your motherboard surface and my AMD is running as smooth as a rabbit with KY-Jelly you'll understand

[SpAzErMaN]

Lets Not start this again...

Raul I have personally tried Brand New Intel and Amd Processors, and there is no difference at all. Honestly.

Lets Rewind history a bit.

First Came the Intel Pentium 4 Series
Then came the AMD Athlon™ 64 Series
Soon After Came the Intel Pentium D Series
Now, we have the Intel C2D Series... AMD still has the Athlon™ 64 Series.

At First, the P4 Series was killing AMD.. then the Athlon™ 64 series came out. At this point AMD was winning the battle. Intel's Pentium D's came out, but because they were relatively the same architecture as the P4's.. they did not do so well.
Now Intel has Come out with their newer, Next generation, more efficient C2D Series, and amd is on the loosing end.. until they come out with their next gen product.

Its A Cycle, you cannot say that AMD is better because, frankly, it isnt. If you compare it to the older stuff it is, but the newer stuff... not so much. It goes over and over again.

Matix... Excellent Choice. All Around Those Video cards will Scream. And... you can sell them and upgrade to a Gf9 card when they come out November!

[Matix]

Basically I was talking to "Caveman" about my choices. (aka computer nerd I know on the net..) and he was saying AMD is loosing as well, and he biased for AMD, he won't touch an Intel, and he said Intel was winning.

Also, he was saying, difference between Pentium D, C2D, and Core Quad, was, PD has 2 cores, but only 1 is really in use and you need to set the affinity for the 2nd one if you want it to work. But C2D and Core Quad also has multiple cores, but the architecture basiclly splits up the load onto the available cores as they come, so I was like, "Quad core here we come baby!"


Also, I wanted to do a oranization of storage, I was thinking of raid, but meh, to hard to configure and I was thinking this would run better.

C:\ = Windows - 36 WD Raptor
G:\ = Games - 150 WD Raptor
P:\ = Programs - 300GB WD SATA (Using it in my comp atm.)

So im thinking its going to be a nice build.

[Matix]

Anyhow, this is what I am getting *VERY* soon!

New computer is:

[Case] Standard ATX Mid-Tower Case from IBUYPower

[Power Supply] 1000 Watt -- NZXT PRC-1000 Power Supply (Quad-SLI Ready)

[CPU] Intel Core 2 Extreme Quad-Core Processor QX6850 (4x 3.0GHz/8MB L2 Cache/1333FSB)

[CPU Cooling] Thermaltake MaxOrb CPU Cooling Fan System Kit

[Motherboard] Asus Striker Extreme nForce® 680i SLI Chipset w/7.1 Sound, Gb LAN, S-ATA Raid, USB 2.0, IEEE-1394 Dual PCI-E

[Ram] 4096MB [2048MB X2] DDR2-800 PC6400 Memory Module Mushkin High Performance II (HP2) w/Heat Spreader

[Graphics Card] 2x 8800Ultra NVIDIA SLI Graphics Card (2x 768MB Ram per card)

[Storage] 2x WD Raptor WD1500ADFD 150GB 16M Cache Hard Drive (One for gaming, one for operating system & programs)

[Sound Card] Creative Lab Sound Blaster X-Fi ExtremeGamer

[Network Card] Intel Pro 10/100/1000 Network Card

[Operating System] Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate

Now I know what your saying "z0mfG Vista sucks!!"

Well, to be honest, I don't give a damn, I know how to modify operating systems to make them run under recommended startup ram usage. I have my windows xp load at 120MB on startup

[SpAzErMaN]

Vista works fine for me as well.. so that shouldnt be a problem.

... I personally would wait till the New Gforce 9 series comes out in two months.. but thats your choice, and your money.

[Matix]

Well, I just put in my old computer's 120GB IDE drive, I was surprised to find it working, and it has renegade on it!

I put it in, and I suddenly get crazy good constant FPS!

I think my current hard drive is shared to much, OS, Programs, etc. and it sucks for games, so I am definetly going to go with the 2 hard drives build on raptors.

Also, I have decided not to get Vista, I don't like ram hoggers :-(

[Grimes [3rd ID]]

Well, if your getting all of that sh*t, an 8800Ulta x2 is a waste, for you can get a 9800GT in what, 2 months? Same with CPU, AMD is workin on sh*t, and Intel is coming out with another model name

[Matix]

Im still open to suggestions then, so I should wait for 2 months to pass by? I have a good oportunity coming up.. -_-

[SpAzErMaN]

... Your getting all that DX10 equipment and not getting Vista.

Now thats stuped. Just get more, you only need 2 gigs for Vista, and 4 if you want to give your games lots of extra... I HIGHLY doubt that any game for the next year will use ~3 gigs of Ram..

My Computer now is on Vista Ultimate and idles about ~800mb/s of ram with MSN and IE open. Not too bad.

[StoneCold]

how much for ur Graphic card im serious to cause i have a 6100 and its f*cking pathetic... price range plx
