[SkullCollector]

No need to apologise, my friend. You said it - it's your first and you have no idea what you were doing. One can learn merely from mistakes.

[SgtKillzMann]

Well, Ill truely think about it now (I have, maybe just not hard enough). Maybe after im done with my vakay, im gone for a week as of Friday.

Thanks for the advice guyses and or girlses.

[SgtKillzMann]

Ok so Ive thought LONG and HARD about it. Here is what Ive come up with.

Case: Antec Nine-Hundred with USB 3.0

CPU: AMD Fx 8120

Cooler for the CPU: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO

CD Burner: Samsung Internal DVD Writer

Paste for fan (because AMD Fx 8120 gets HOT): Arctic silver 5

Main HDD: WD Caviar Blue 1tb

Memory: 16gigs of G.Skill Ares at 1600 speed.

Mobo: MSI 990FXA-GD80V2 AM3+

SSD for boot drive: Corsair Force Series 3 CSSD-F60GB3A-BK 60GB SATA III

PSU: COOLER MASTER Silent Pro Gold 800w

Monitor: ASUS VH236H Black 23" 2 LCD Monitor

Cost: $2118.28 with shipping, about $2200-$2300 with tax.

Thanks for the help guys! And if any more feedback, lemme hear! :3

That is way better. If you have the money, go ivy 670 is excellent, wattage is also enough. Some high ramz0rz Looks good.

[SgtKillzMann]

Well thanks :3

Anyways, I did change the Case. The Antec 900 has horrific cable management.

SO, I changed it to the Rosewill Blackhawk.

And I am thinking of going Intel though. Idk if the 8120 would bottleneck. I really want to have it though.

Could ya lemme know if it bottlenecks? I dont think it does.

New price: $2112.28, $2200 to $2300 with taxing.

Deducted 6 bucks XD

[SgtKillzMann]

AND I changed the Headset, from the 1500 to 1300.

1500 has USB connector and I realized I should use the 3.5 jacks on my case for clear quality.

Plus it deducts the price :3

TOTAL PRICE: $2092.28 or around $2100 with taxes.

[SgtKillzMann]

TRIPLE POST


Anyways, could I get a reccomendation?

Im switching over to Intel.

Would the Intel Core i7 3770k be a great proccessor for gaming?

I hear it has integrated graphics, so could I maybe run SLI with the 670 or sumthing?

I hear it beats out the 8120 by a long shot and I want an i7 because it has the Hyperthreading technology.

Thanks!

[daandebest]

SLI with an integrated gpu is not possible. If it was, it wouldn't make a really big difference. However, the ivy is way stronger, newer and faster than almost any other cpu.

[SgtKillzMann]

Ah k, Im thinking of actually getting Ivy, simply becuz the Benchmarks all over the place smash the 8100 lines face into the



Concrete.

[SgtKillzMann]

BTW::::: Is my psu with the 800w able to handle this system? PLEASE RESPOND!

[Warlordhaxdawg]

Btw 800w should be enough.

[Enzo98]

You only have a 128gb for storage?

Thats not going to be enough.

[Aimfull]

2 gtx670 800 watt? I think you need to go higher on that.

[daandebest]

1000 watts. and you only have an SSD?
