My new System

[[CS] Raston]

Ya, it has two cooling fans. Good point, the PS I'm wanting to go modular, but if I get the cheaper non-modular version it will have more than enough connecters. The write-ups actually mentioned that some with smaller systems didn't like all the extra.

two power connectors for it.

Raston, I do not think you got what I was saying.

Raston,

When you get this rig built, look me up on BC2. See sig below for name.

Well Raston, the reviews say that is a good bang-for-bucks card. Should run plenty fast.

I'll second the power supply concerns. With this Nvidia card I'd recommend a +500W PS minimum and you should consider a 650W to provide some overhead and put the PS in it's sweet spot when running full out. I'd also recommend modular plugs, they get rid of a lot of ugly, air stream robbing cables. With your envisioned setup, you won't have to upgrade for a long while if you plan ahead here like your obviously doing. (How depressing is that, no upgrades needed!)

This is sounding sweet!

Speed, his first post said he had a 850W power supply. I know things are tough in California, so if you need helps obtaining your meds please let us know.

Yea, sometimes I forget my spectacles and 8,s look like 6's and 6's look like 4's.


Plus, if I'd reread the whole post everytime I wouldn't make these errors. You know my memory isn't what it used to be. CRS* and all.

So, I guess you're OK on the PS Raston. That's what I have (modular) and I haven't been able to lug it down so far.

Just ignore my ramblings......

I'm thinkin' about hitting this up:

MSI Big Bang-XPower LGA 1366 Intel X58 mobo

CORSAIR HX Series CMPSU-850HX 850W

Intel Core i7-930 Bloomfield 2.8GHz LGA 1366

Kingston HyperX T1 Series 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 2000 (PC3 16000) triple channel


2 - Western Digital VelociRaptor WD6000HLHX 600GB 10000 RPM SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive - RAID 5

and keeping my two vid cards for a little while longer.

Ouch!

I wonder if this new system will help Raston out-post Whap in the Mud Pit???

He's already beaten Whap, and everyone else. Some day I expect Raston to try and purchase YouTube from Google.

That was a good one...

I thought Raston was a YouTube bot all this time...so, are you saying Raston is a human?

Would I want to own You Tube? Why, when I can view all the movies for free now.

As far as the system goes I've not purchased it. I can kick myself for not buying some of the parts when they were on sale. The $1,300 for the PC is now going for new carpet in the family room. Maybe I'll get the PC in a few months if the wife doesn't decide to carpet the rest of the house. I bet those prices will be really low come Christmas.

I doubt it will allow me to outpost Whap Viz I do that now, but it may enable me to play some of the newer games. Maybe then I could use my big stick to create a meaningful "dialogue" with him.
