there aint mate.. its a joke. hehe? bit of light hearted rivalry. oh well
appart from mobo i said the same build. so 19394. Its a draw we both win a beer.
great 3dmark score mate.. shows we know a good system. SLi is the way i have to agree with that if im recommending an Nvidia build... NOW i will always say SLi.
lighten up vernong im joking is that bothering you? didnt this Person.. get the help he wanted.. he got 2 people to say pretty much the same build. except mobo which we further discussed and come to the conclusion that sli is the way.. with me trying to make a little joke in there. whats the problem?
To OP: yeh go with what veedubfreak said.... thats one sensational gaming computer.
well... if OP wants a completely insane monster system.. he could always get the same specs as veedubfreak but with a Crossfire X mobo and wait to get 3870 X2 (Quadfire)... that should get an amazing 3DMark06 score. Also has the option to upgrade the cpu to a Penryn later.
tbh.. im still on the fence between nvidia and ati, as its a very interesting situation theyre in at the moment.
Also in a few years nehalem will be out at 32nm and running ddr3. Just get a 680i board if you plan on going nvidia card or p35/x38 if you plan on going ati card.
