Guys, he's a gamer, not a quality builder.
LOL, what makes you say that? I am a light gamer, jsut kind of getting back into it with this system. What I want is a high-quality system that can be OC'd, and have great frame rates on whatever game I play, or the ability to encode video or have multiple apps running (which I do often).
Dude, thats a freakin crazy awesome PC .
You could cut down on the price some, though, by getting the Ultra-D instead of the SLI-DR. Or are you planning on going SLI in the future?
Well, I don't have any immediate plans for SLI, but I would rather spend a few extra $$ now rather than have to buy a whole new mobo in a year.
Oh, and are you overclocking? If you are, then I suggest going with the RAM that Pzero linked you to. The regular OCZ RAM that you have will barely overclock.
Yes, I plan on getting into OCing. I have never done it before (ASUS mobo currently), but want to have that ability. I think a water solution will prolly be in my future.
But I have already decided to use the recommended RAM, thanks for the second vote!
And might I suggest getting a headset? Speakers are nice, but you can't crank em up really high cuz people around you get annoyed and stuff. Headset, you can crank em up all the way and others barely even hear it. Not to mention, with thar X-Fi card, you'll want to hear everything possible .
Darn good idea! I have a cheapie set right now, cuz the wife likes to sleep at night (crazy woman!), but can you recommend something of good quality? I also want to have decent speakers, cuz when I get to Korea, this will most likely be my stereo, DVD player, and gaming machine all in one.
