New PC

[HongKongPhooey]

Ok, I finally decided to replace my old beast.  Thing was about 4 years old.  New PC will include the following:

Case:  Antec Nine Hundred

Power Supply:  Thermaltake W0131RU ATX12V / EPS12V 850W Power Supply

Motherboard:  ASUS Striker II Formula LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 780i

CPU:  Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 Kentsfield 2.4GHz

CPU Fan:  Thermaltake CL-P0114 120mm CPU Cooler

Memory:  CORSAIR DOMINATOR 4GB(2 x 2GB) SDRAM DDR2 1066

Video Cards:  (2) EVGA 512-P3-N802-AR GeForce 8800GT Superclocked 512MB

Hard drive:  Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 ST3320620AS 320GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s

CD/DVD:  LITE-ON Black 20X SATA DVD Burner with LightScribe

OS:  Microsoft Windows Vista 64-Bit Ultimate

Right now I only have a 19" monitor but will be upgrading to two widescreen monitors down the road.  I also have a RAZER Copperhead mouse.  The only other thing I will have to upgrade will be the keyboard.  For that I am looking at the Logitech G15.

I should have all the parts by the end of the week.

Sounds like a kick ass rig! post some pics when your done! (Does everyone have a 900? LOL)

holy shit man thats a fuckin sick computer  im jealous seriously i wish i had that much money to spend on a computer  how much you spend on the MONSTER? LOL

[HongKongPhooey]

Lol, the nine hundred looks like a solid case.  I was thinking about getting this case http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119122 but I couldn't see spending the extra $130+ for it.

wow, sounds like you have a kick ass system... let me know how the new keyboard works out because i am looking to get a new keyboard myself....

I just got the G15 keyboard and I love it. Backlight on the keys and everything. It even looks up my e-mails and i can read them while in game. It also has a nice soft feel to it, no clicking of the keys.

Nice comp hong.  Now you can come play COD4 with us. 

Thats what I'm doing with my new rig

Do not get the DDR2-1066 memory.  It is a waste of money.  Get DDR2-800 and you will get faster CAS and spend less money.  Wish I would have done that back in Sept. when I built my system.  I am looking at getting rid of my 4 1GB sticks of DDR2-1066 OCZ Reaper memory and getting 4 2GB DDR2-800 OCZ Reaper memory sticks

[Hitman Smurf]

4 2GB DDR2-800 OCZ Reaper memory sticks

Kick ass memory...highly recommended.

[HongKongPhooey]

Oops too late.  The parts were already ordered yesterday.  The (2) 2GB DDR2-1066 sticks were $159.99 at zipzoomfly (they were $189.99 at newegg) and there is a $40 mail in rebate on top of that.

Here's some pics of the comp going through the process. http://theelders.net/Rich/NewPC/

I went with two 2 gig sticks of the OCZ nvidia sli memory 800mhz. Nice stuff so far.

I see that mobo came with COH game? Some of us have been playing that a good bit. Go out and get the expansion too, it's a blast. The single player is just as good as online.

[HongKongPhooey]

Yes it did come with the COH game.  I haven't installed it yet but will be installing it soon.
