I will build it myself, that's why I can take whatever I want. But dont you think that you can buy everything separate and just go to a place and let them build it for you?

That looks good to me m8. Well, the case is completly up to you. Pick whatever case you think looks best, just remember that if you want the best performance pick a case with good cooling. That case is kinda cool but jeez, pricey one lol.

A DON'T GO FOR PHYSICS CARD over priced cack . If your going to spend that sort of cash your better of going sli and having 2 video cards (its not really needed) any game out or about to come out will run max easy on what you have picked . Motherboard I'm happy with that i only ever use 2 makes one Abit the other Asus witch are normally a little easyer to work out . Power id recommend this its full proof if you wanted to add any cards at a later date .Enermax Galaxy 1000W Its the daddy but it costs at £200 its not cheep . Mind you for one card anything around 600 is ok just get a good make as its the most important component . Really anything above 80 quid is a good one on 600w and above . Its looking at a beast of a pc at moment remember the case wont really be looked at so if you have to settle for one you are not sure on to get them to build it its ok . Whats hidden in it is what counts .

You shouldn't need a NIC 10/100/1000 PCI NX1101 card as motherboard should have one if not 2 on it As your buying built drivers will be in , Ive got a RAPTOR X nice HD run your games from it every thing else on the other .
All you need after you get it is a good anti virus (ill recommend bitdefender 10 used 9 now on 10 and its a nice program) .

I once read on ATi's forum that in the future, owners of the X1xxx cards will be able to use those as physics processors. You can pick up a X1650 pro for £50 much cheaper.

Thought you was getting the 8800 Ultra? Does the above mean 8800 640mb in Sli? yeah sli i was getting the ultra but he recons this instead

Post by -=Magpie=- on Oct 1, 2007 21:47:17 GMT 1
Me personally id get an ultra (as id look at adding a second at a later date maybe) but I'm not sure what the performance differences are between 2 cards against 1 ultra whats the price difference as if your forking out another 200 on to is that better for the gain.
Hard one to call will you be happy with the ultra yep probably will you be happy with the other 2 yep (they still will stonk any ati card out there .

Post by -=Magpie=- on Oct 1, 2007 21:55:35 GMT 1
