    I'd get an Asus, Abit or Gigabyte equivalent, they seem to be the leading brands.
    Also, I'd double your ram with that spec, a gig makes a big improvement as I've just discovered :)

    I suppose a 160gb drive would be enough at this stage, you're not going to fill it straight away I'm sure!

    dude, get a Pentium 2... they rock!!! thats what i have and they own!!.. also get a 128MB intel extreme graphics card.. and for a motherboard get umm.. id say.. a logitech motherboard.. version 2.. get a 250 PSU instead also.. the one you have right now is cheap and sucks ass bad man.. the one i have is made by microsoft corp. and it rocks.. but this is just my 2 cents.. what does everyone esle think?

    Yes the Motherboard is the same....and it is the same price...however.....

    http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/ProductDetail.jsp?ProductCode=240418

    ZipZOomFLy.com has free 2 day shipping, and no tax..so actually...its cheaper...hell...if you wanted to you could even get the SLI-Premium and still not pay as much.

    http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/ProductDetail.jsp?ProductCode=247010

    As far as Hard Drives....With your budget you are looking at $80 max for a hard drive, which....wont get you the most spectacular one...but here ya go...The Baracuda is a little bit faster than the regular...and its 80 gig

    http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/ProductDetail.jsp?ProductCode=101564


    Hope this helps....keep in mind...FREE 2 DAY SHIPPIN, and NO SALES TAX

    yeah! thats like the best price iv got! freakin awesome!.. but is that PSU any good?

    never had any problems with thermaltake products will do nicely for setup that was listed when you go sli then you might upgrade it. their cases (that one in particular) also look good and have good air flow :)
    P.S. That system should handle anything you throw at it for quite a while

  26. ibbonkers

    ibbonkers First Sergeant

    yes use the psu and i couldnt find any on zipzoomfly with free 2 day shipping so i posted the aforementiond link to newegg for the case :) zipzoomfly wanted 30 bucks for the cheapest shipping on the case :(
    newegg is only 15.99 shipping :)

    Looks like you got it all figured out. Sorry about the Case Mixup, I thought, it came with free shipping as well. That setup hes got going for you....

    The SLI isnt the Deluxe, so just keep that in mind, other than that....that is a KICK ass setup for that price....I spent over 900 on just 4 components, lol but thats becuase I went for the kill, heh

    AMD 64 4000+ Clawhammer (FX-53)
    A8N SLI-Deluxe
    GeForce 7800 GT/GTX 256 MB HDTV OUT
    TruePower 680 Watt PSU (Dual Fan)
    Liteon Dual Layer 16x DVD Burner/RW

    Now i just need RAM, New HDDs since I fried mine :( And a new Monitor, and im set....then once I cant live with my Audigy 2ZS anymore, maybe the TI or the Audigy 4, and some 7 series speakers :)


    Luke, sorry I took so long, ive been pretty busy lately. Ill talk to you tomorrow. Best of luck with the system.

    awesome bonkers! thanks!!! :) ill pick out a case and ill finally be finnished and i can order these parts :):).. and yes yes! id love to see your computer specs to the one you might build!

    and unexperienced, should i get this setup? everything seems to be ok? oh and np, its ok
     
  32. Unexperiencedn00b

    Unexperiencedn00b Private First Class

    Hey Luke, lol these guys know just as much if not more than I do :) Looks like a killer setup to me...you will be running FPS's like a dream. Only thing I might worry about is Compatability issues, which im sorry to say, I know nothing about :( For $900, I really dont think you can beat that system.
     
  33. X_40's_X

    X_40's_X Specialist

    ohhh i see i see.. well then!! awesome stuff!! im going to get on to buying that setup then!! :):).. i just need to pick out a case and ill be set :)!!! im so happy!!.. umm is there ANY free 2 day shipping on ANY case on zimzoomfly? or do i have to pay shipping for one at newegg since newegg has less shipping charge? what about tiger direct? do they have a better shipping charge?
     
  34. Unexperiencedn00b

    Unexperiencedn00b Private First Class

    Ive actually never been to TIgerdirect...but after seeing some of the prices on their Hard Drives....I will DEFINATELY be getting my Hard Drive from Tiger Direct.
