hey, thanks, but it's not even close to a done deal. $5838!!! That's almost 3000 pounds right? (I don't have a pounds key on my keyboard, sorry ) My budget is going to explode!!

And have any of you seen that new Dell computer that is able to SLI four Geforce 7800 GTX 512MB graphics cards together!!!!!!!! *drowns in own drool* ewwwwwwwww

Imagine that kind of graphics power in your PC. 96 graphics pipelines!!! How many does the X-Box 360 have? 24 maybe? 8O *mind explodes with possibilities*
32x Antialiasing!!!!!!

Check it out at
I can't wait until Quad SLI mobo's become available. I may just wait till then to get my PC!

And please excuse all my technobabble in this post

1.

I was actually considering this case but then i found it a bit weak after hearing comments from another forum as its a cheap case with most money gone in looks and not construction design or cooling design. So i went with this beauty as i might as well get a good one if its gona last me a good few years.

I recommend you think about a nicer case, anything by antec, enermax, lian-li, coolermaster should be great. For a awsome computer like ur getting buy a alluminium there realy light and look damn cool. Im in love with my case its damn huge and light as a feather and insides look like somit from a sci-fi computer hehe.

A bit overboard with the cpu i think you have gone to be honest. For £150 you can buy a opteron 146 its clocked at 2ghz BUT its damn overclockable if you have nice speedy pc4000 or better ram and can easily reach fx speeds and even beat em sometimes in benchmarks

2gb ram should be enough unless ur heavily into photoshop with large images or multiple filters all the time. Or into heavy editing of media.

Rest seems good mate, happy times await you Good luck with build. I would be **** scared building anything over a grands worth of components incase i **** it royally up as it would be an expensive mistake. Even tho i know what im doing as i built my whole familys 4 computers inc my own i still hate building them incase the cpu or ram **** up.

Sorry about the swearing but its obviously needed

1. Nice case, costs alot from what ive read. But seems top one This one aint too bad btw if you wana look it over.

What you would like is the antec p180 black i think, about 90 quid on ebuyer.

2.

The motherboard will say only supports pc3200 BUT it can take pc4000 it will just be clocked down to pc3200 speeds hence overclocking with cpu you can safely overclock the ram to pc4000 speeds without worry. So you can take pc4000 ram

Np about cpu dude, just fx chips aint worth the price really, the x2 4000 (dual core) is far better in many peoples opinions also decently fast too.

I've looked over that Tsunami case before and it's still an option at this point, though it looks kind of plain and doesn't have a window.

Also, I've upped the processor from the FX-57 to the new Dual Core FX-60, lol $300 more...

I wonder if I should just scrub this and get a car...

FX-60 i didn't even know that was out yet

I am getting this case off mate for £15 as hes getting new one looked over the specs and its worth it but the look alone kicks ass lol

The DFI's are best for balls-out overclocking, BUT...

If I could go back..

I'd of bought what you just recommended TrekBoy I recommended it for him to get him the performance he wanted for a lower price, but I'd of got nearly the same from that board yet wouldn't have spent DAYS and DAYS in the BIOS wondering wtf it was in the memory settings that weren't right. It autodetects settings like crap, always have to tweak. Pretty big pain. So yeah, those boards rock. top quality!
