Well whats your budget I might be able to get you a new CPU, GPU, and RAM?

[Kranky88]

wil i be able to over the opteron with Asus A8n and the crosair ram (no heatsink ordinary stuff) ive got?

 

[reckliss]

Do you know the exchange rate for NZ to US $?

I dk about the RAM.

 

[Kranky88]

i think its like 1.60NZ is 1$ us

k heres the deal
ALl in NZ dollars
DFI Lanparty UT Ultra-D $197
AMD OPteron 165 -$534
eVGA 7900 GT -$510
G.SKill 2x1gb Dual Channel, Case Latency 2.5 $280

Thats about $1500 but thats with the ram so you take the ram u planned on buying and add w/e is necessary so its not that far off and its a really good rig.

So somewhere around $750 US Dollars here we go:

Will my 2 x 512mb *corsair value select* ram bottleneck my system if i get an opteron 165 + 7900gt + 2 raptoprs raid0?

 

[alexsabree]

opty..


and i dont think that it would bottle neck... it would just lag at some games like bf2 when running in a place not yet loaded... but not bottleneck

 

[reckliss]

If you get the opteron I would get new/better RAM
