[drumbum]

ill check it out when i get home, im at school right now

iv built 3 before, i can help u out

[Arden]

ty man, i dont think i ever told you, but im a drummer as well.

[drumbum]

good to see there is a fellow drummer here

im home now, so ill check out the links and post a reply in like 15 minutes

[drumbum]

1. the link for the RAM is broken

2. double check for a Seagate or Maxtor harddrive, they are known to be much more reliable then Western Digital

3. couldnt look at optical drive, link was down

4. for how much money you are already spending, i would go better on the case, try a case designed for silence...with all that power, the PC is going to be rather noisy, some cases will block that and cut down the decibles

5. u need to get a more name brand power supply, that is the heart of your computer, and if that fails, every thing else will get stuck with data in the circuits and your dream machine will be put to waste-try antec or enermax for a top-notch brand

6.

try

- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...16822148140-try (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16822148140-try) this for the hard drive, top notch name, faster speed, more storage, $20 more

[Arden]

How's this drive: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16822148140 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16822148140)

Work with the case?



and this psu: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16817194003 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817194003)

wil they fit my case and motherboard, etc?

[drumbum]

ya it should work, arent those the two parts i gave u

im at school right now, so i cant really go to in depth

[Dances_with_Squirrels]

If your going with nVidia, DONT get SLi. Its a waste of power, it doesnt give you much more performance.
Since it looks like your going all out on this, get a TB of HD and 4 Gigs of RAM. I didnt look at the links, but get water cooling on that.

ATi>nVidia

[drumbum]

are that, a home computer user does not need 1000 gigs of ram

thats OVERKILL

and he already has 4 gigs

and SLI offers up to 80% more power

No, 1 TB of harddrive.

Links, graphs, anything plz, everything i''ve seen, been told is its worthless.

[drumbum]

1 terabyte of harddrive=1000gigs of memory

^^^
not needed for a home user...period

i did not mean ram, sorry, up to late typing, cant think straight

but yes, four gigs of RAM would be the next best upgrade Dances with Squirles, u are definatlly right there

[Arden]

i got 2 gb not 4 and thats fine...i dont need 1tb....i got a 250 external at my disposal......nvidia>ati

[drumbum]

nvidia pwns ati, iv had both and nvidia blew me away

[Arden]

hey drumbum....i need u to find me a good wirless modem for my pc....what should i use?

[Arden]

bump

[drumbum]

do you mean wireles router

1.) do u already have interenet acces

2.) are u connecting a computer wirelessly to an already established network

[Arden]

i already own my own wireless that i use with my laptop, i want my new desktop to be able to connect to.
