First of all, Hi im Sean, i live 20 miles south east of Los Angles
so i just bought a computer, it has:
Phenom II 965 quad core processor over clocked to 3.4ghz
HIS 5870
and 4 gigs of DDR3 ram
i love it, but its not fast enough, so im trying to sell it, if i can sell it this is what i want to build. let me know what you think. i am kind of worried about the mother board, i cant really find a review about this particular mother board and i have read about equal reviews good and bad on new egg about it. also, i want to use the Antec 300 case but i have been told that a 5970 will not fit, so i was wondering if anyone has had any success modifying an antec or similar case to ge ta 5970 to fit.
The reason im building this machine to play Crysis at maxed resolution and maxed out settings with out missing a beat.
so here is the parts list, the reason im posting this is because i dont know what i am doing and you folks do, so dont hesitate to hold back anything.
