i like... that'll be a beast.

you think the 900 will be big enough for everything? i have one a 900, but i haven't seen a 3870x2 in person so i don't know.

what was your last rig that you got $1600 for? i thought it was like a dual-core a gts 320 or something...?

 

[heister]

umm you might wanna get a bigger case...
1) for general space
2) for more fans to cool that beast

 

[csaefong]

it was a quad core q6600 g0 2x1gb crucial ballistix, 8800GTS 320MB,Samsung 200GB,2 dvd roms,ApeviaX Dreamer II case,thermaltake tr2 500watt,Sound blaster xfi fatal1ty edition,Zalman 9500, and Asus Striker Extreme sold to my friend for 1800 but i spent 200 he bought it from me guy came up with 6 grand doing somethings i dont wanna tell yall about.

 

[csaefong]

yea i dont know ima try with the antec 900 if it doesnt fit i think ima have to buy me a thermaltake armor case.

 

[heister]

that is what i am getting... everyone says you will need a forklift to move it.. i just say they need to work out LOL

 

[ThirdLeft152]

well thats a good deal for you on your last system, you think you could help me sell my rig? lol. yeah i mean the 900 has tons of space, but its still a mid-tower either way.

the armor is sweet, but i've personally grown very fond of the gigabyte aurora mostly due to aspire's sweet rig.

You really think that 2 3870x2's are necessary? I've heard that they don't really give you much benefit when adding the second card. All it really does is help sustain frame rates in highly demanding games, but if you're into Crysis or others then it will atleast provide some benefit to you. The 3870x2 is a powerhouse by itself...... I can't imagine what 2 would be capable of.
