You could Cheapin it out and go with a Nvidia Nforce 6XX Chipset mobo and 4 gigs of DDR2.. but you said Go for it.. so i did..

Btw, i overshot the 2K mark by 131.92.... suck it up

What asus mobo?

I'm thinking about buying a new system.
That's looking pretty good so far.

Is there a difference between DDR2 and DDR3 ram.

I'm building a new system so I may go with the same parts that Amidy posted.
I bought a OCZ 700 watt PS, but I'm going to bring it back and get the 850 watt instead.

I'll probably just get the same board and processor.
I just bought 2 Seagate 320GB Barracuda SATA 3Gb/s - HD-ST3320620AS hard drives. Those will be setup as a striped raid.

And I'm not sure what ram to get. Maybe something like this.

I'm not sure if I want to get a new case or not.
I have a nice Sonata case and another case I have is 1.5x as big as the Sonata case.

the few and far between revierws for DDR3 that are out state that the current lineup of DDR3 is faster then the lineup of DDR2-800 @ cas 4..

i sont know how much that states in its intirity, i was just suggesting it because the push is going to start soon to go DDR3.. And its beter to have it now then later

This will be an expensive system.
The ram will be 600 alone.

I've looked at newegg before, and couldn't see a mobo with ddr3 support

This is about the motherboard that Amidy posted.


4 x DIMM, max. 8GB, DDR3 1333*/1066 / 800 MHz, non-ECC, un-buffered memory
Dual channel memory architecture
* The chipset officially supports the memory frequency up to DDR3 1066MHz. Tuned by ASUS Super Memspeed Technology, this motherboard natively supports up to DDR3 1333MHz
Please refer to http://www.asus.com or user manual for Memory QVL.

Oh ok.

Amida, you don't like the nforce 680i chipset?

i like it so much i am using it actually..

but again, i am running DDR2

Well I ended up just tossing the 700 watt PS into the computer.

Im looking at Amidy's system build, and I have a question.

Would it be more effective to buy 2 Geforce 8800 GTS instead of a single 8800 Ultra. I belive the 2 8800 gts would be cheaper also, assuming their both around 280.

again, this was Going all out for 2k,

Alot of the games out there still have a hard time with SLI, so i am yet to get on the ban wagon.. they are getting ALOT beter, but again... there are still issues

But yea, you could do it that way as well.

edit: everyone has there own vir of what going "all out" is.. So keep that in mind when looking what i posted

Actaully nevermind. I read a review on newegg, and aparantly someone had 2 GTS's and bought a BFG 88 Ultra that killed the 2 GTS's.

The 8800 GTS seems to ask for a 8600 title tbh.

Uhhhh, my 8800 GTS dosent call for the 8600 title... its killing anything i toss at it..

but the actual 8600 performs like poop compared to the 6800 vs 6600 right? At least thats what I heard.

So here's what I'm thinking about for my next (and ultimate) upgrade:

i can't see why you would need more than 700 watts unless you're running four video cards, multiple peltiers, and some sort of NORAD missle tracking system.

judging by the load-temperature chart in the manual; my 550w never gets much 1/2 load. even with the added draw of a water pump.
