Omg $1750 Budget!!!

[5u1c1d47m0nck3y]

Well again a new thread. But now it is $1750 budget. If you did't see my other threads I am building my first PC. It is gonna be a gaming rig that has to last me a while without upgrading. Do not include a moniter, mouse, keyboard,speakers, or optical drive, I have those from my last computer. Lastly I am only buying from newegg, no exceptions. So here is the list, I will keep it updated as I make revisions.

Revision 1 Edits
There is nothing there yet because I am not sure what to do with $1750.

Revision 2 Edits
Added everything.

Revision 3
The more I thought about it the more worried I got. I did not want to build my PC only to have the PSU not be good enough. SO I cut back on some stuff and got a good PSU.

Edit 4
some minor tweaks.

 

[PZEROFGH]

Case - Thermaltake Soprano
_________________________________________________

PSU - Antec truepower 550W power supply/ OCZ 520W powerstream
_________________________________________________

Mobo - DFI UT NF4 ultra-D or SLI-DR
_________________________________________________

Hard Drive - How big do you need it? 80GB? 200GB? 2*200GB?? defintely sata II or 150
_________________________________________________

Video Card - eVGA 7800GT why waste money for the GTX
_________________________________________________

RAM - 2GB's im assuming your overclocking so G.SKill or OCZ ram
_________________________________________________

Processor - Dual core is the way to go. I would go with the OPty 170
_________________________________________________

OS - 99.99
Windows XP
_________________________________________________

Other Asorted Goodies - AS5, TT bigtyphoon or CNPS9500, couple of case fans, maybe a VF-700cu for your GPU. Maybe some CC
_________________________________________________

That should roughly come out to less then 2000

Very nice, if you wanted the case from your last thread you could get that one, i have it and i like it alot.

I also heard that AM2 wont come out till Q3 so unless you want to wait till then......

 

[Trifid]

The Soprano is a terrible case, with cheap plastics on the front, and no front air intake for the front fan. It is a terrible case in short. The Tsunami is a better choice if you like the look of the soprano. The case is your choice though, pick one to your taste.

I would go for one of the opterons 165 and above. Definatly go dual core for that.

 

[PZEROFGH]

uh no front intake fan?? are you blind or are you just lying?

http://www.thermaltake.com/xaserCase/soprano/bws/bws.htm

Dual 12 cm cooling fans with fan holder in front (intake) and rear (exhaust) plans for great heat dissipation

anywyas i know a lot of people who have this case

the cases are better yet a personal choice, like flashy cases go with Aspire, like contemporary cases go with Lian Lan or Antec cases.

 

[AK4Life]

Wait a month or 2, then build it. G80 Series and AM2 Mobos will come in handy in the future. You might want to consider getting a PPU also, i suspect they are going to be a req in future games.

Added everthing.

PPU? I am quessing that that is the new physics card. What interface do those have. I could always add one later when they are needed.

 

[5u1c1d47m0nck3y]

If you guys havn't realized I get very impacient (SP?) when you don't respond instantaneously. JK. But really help me out. Do you see anythinf that could be better or any compatibilit issues.

 

[KryptoKnight]

it's impatient. But anyways, I heard Sapphire's the best for ATI video cards. Don't know if it goes that high-end though.... Also, with an XTX, I don't know fi the PSU will work. The case, in my opinion, is too expensive too. Otherwise, it's nice.

 

[molsen]

get a good PSU man.... 26A and 500w means nothing
