Thanks man...

Its only $5 cheaper only D: Probably because they aren't well known amongst most people for being just as good as its Core 2 Quad equivalent

But if you want to save some cash on that build, that Xeon will probably have better Revision's that'll overclock better, its the same thing as a Q9550 but thats a Server Processor (also before you ask, it'll work on the 780i)
 
Hello Folks,

I will just step in for a second and say this. He does have a point with his post #18. It is his build and if he has the cash to spend on building a overkill system so be it. Please do not cause a flame fest or fights cause you think it is overkill. Or that it is overboard.

Jsut answer the questions the best you can and be done with it. If Noiny wants to do it that is fine. We all would love to build a overkill machine like that. We are only here to advise on the situation given. He wants to do it let him do it.

Cheers,
Mak
 
thank you Mak123,


all i want to know is

1)Whats the best ddr2 1066Mhz Ram in terms of performance i can get?
(looking beetween OCZ Reaper and Croshair Dominator)

2)Is it possible to get a small Hard Drive for ONLY My Operating system? (found one for 36GB 10k RPM)

3)And to get a 2nd Hard Drive for everything else?

4)What is the best LGA775 CPU Cooler i can get for under $100?
5)is the Zalman 9500 good?


Please do answer these to the best of your abilities and dont nag me on overkill,waste of money,etc...


Thank You.
 
1. Not sure.. I don't really know.. probably the Dominator..
2. Yes you can do that.. find a SCSI 15k RPM Seagate Cheetah Drive
3. Yes.. (refer to Number 2)
4. OCZ Vendetta 2 or TRUE with a Scythe S-Flex
5. Not compared to the other two mentioned (Refer to 4)
 
Ok thanks,

Just one more question i forgot to mention earlier.


Since my motherboard is Tri SLI, can i still Dual SLI with the TRI SLI Bridge?

If Not what is a good DUAL SLI Motherboard?


I did do some major research just asking questions to confirm it......

and not asking on everything.
 
Yep I'm pretty sure I already answered this..

EDIT: also get a 750i FTW instead of the 780i, since you're not Tri_SLI anymore
 
Ok, i chose everything out that im getting but my PSU. so how many watts/amps will i need for my specs?

Ram: CORSAIR DOMINATOR DDR2 1066 (2 X 2GB) 4GB

Graphics Card(s): X2 XFX GeForce GTX 280 1GB

Sound Card: Creative Labs X-FI Xtreme Gamer Fatality Sound Card

Power Supply: ???

Okay, lets just say its overkill with two gtx280's.

Its not even overkill, its pointless, we are just trying to help you.
One of them will run EVERYTHING. But anyways. (If I had the money to blow, might as well, right? :))

As for a PSU, Go for a 1000W since you have the money for it.
It should be able to run everything, I'm pretty sure.
