Okay.. heyyy ya'll i've been gone for the longest time ever.. after many stupid household hardships and what not.. and i can finally!! finally! continue building computers once again
sadly i had to scrap my amd quad fx build and sell the parts... the only thing i managed to keep was the AMD Edition Thermaltake armor...
after selling all the other goods.. i ended up settling for a crappy ECS board that always freezes and beeps at me... a 3800x2, 1 gig of G.Skill ddr2 800 and a terrible 6800....
anywho..... now that i'm sorta done with that portion of my life... i'm on to computers again! and want to try to come out on top again.. well no 8800ultra's or QX's for me.. not my price range....
onto other things, i'm just gonna go ahead and post what i wanted to get
MOBO:
Gigabyte DS4 650i SLi Mobo (anybody got a 650i yet? how do those run? i plan on minor oc's)
OR
If things go well, i'll buy an EVGA 680i SLi Instead.... not sure, i may go back to my oc hungry self and try to break 4.0 ghz once again!
Video:
ASUS 8800 GTX (Why, because i want the full version of 3dmark06 and all those other goodies)
OR
EVGA 8800 GTX (just because its cheapest as far as i remember)
If not those... then 2 8800GTS', seeing as i'm only playing on 1680x1050.
But possible dual 8800gtx's in the future.. another hard to choose road....
CPU:
I hear there are more price drops for intel next month.... q6600 dropping to the 250 dollar range?!?!?!?!
Anyway...
Q6600 if it really does drop to that range... if not
then the e6700 for sure.
RAM:
2 Gigs of something DDR 1066, preferably G.skill
or 2 Gigs of G.Skill DDR2 800, you know them HZ's
As for everything else, i've already got covered...
to all who have these parts, lemme know how they run!! and your suggestions, and how all these overclock and what not
My Credit limit should be raising next month!!! soooo i'm hoping next month will be my complete date!
