    Well, I have been fealling that my first pc's specs were not that good, compared to what I could get...
    MoBo EPoX EP-MF570SLI
    Case XION XION _ Solaris XON-403
    CPU AMD Athlon 64 X2 4600+ Windsor
    GPU eVGA 512-P2-N568-AR 7900GT KO 512MB
    Ram CORSAIR XMS2 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2
    Hdd Western Digital Caviar SE16 WD2500KS 250GB
    CD/DVD LITE-ON Black x2
    Cooling APEVIA(ASPIRE) CF12SL-UGN 120mm x2
    PSU Antec SmartPower 2.0 SP-500 ATX12V 500W
    Extra Microsoft Keyboard + Mouse


    So I decided to go with intel's duo core and It is more expensive but I don't mind. I will just have to get some overtime. Also I went with Ati. This computer will be built around the christmas area. I want to get done before christmas. Here are my specs...


    MoBo ASUS P5W DH DELUXE/WIFI-AP Socket T
    Case XION XION _ Solaris XON-403
    CPU Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 Conroe
    GPU SAPPHIRE 100149L Radeon X1900XT 512MB
    Ram CORSAIR XMS2 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2
    Hdd Western Digital Caviar SE16 WD2500KS 250GB
    CD/DVD LITE-ON Black x2
    Cooling APEVIA(ASPIRE) CF4S-UGN 80mm 2x
    Extra cooling Spire CF401G 80mm Ball
    PSU Antec TRUEPOWERII TPII-550 ATX12V 550W
    Extra Microsoft Keyboard + Mouse

    I havn't caculated the price because I am scared to. I don't want to go much over this. I am also hopeing by christmas the prices will go down $250-$300, but I am just wishing. Do you think that this will be a great build.
    P.S. Already got the case so I am staying with this case, good for looks only.

    dont know if u really need those extra fans, and that Aspire one is quite noisy

    aside from that, everything looks good. Nice build :)

    I want optimal airflow so It would hurt. Also the second fan I have in my case right now I am going to use. I am going to make great airflow where there is dead air by the Dvd/Cd pointed to the mobo so that everyware will be serclated.

    Sorry, that was my brother I walked up off the computer and He posted it.
    I am a little tired so my grammer is off. Well, all I am asking is that will this pc be outstanding.

    I believe viper_boy answered your question, if your gonna add the extra fans, aim for ones that aint so noisy, unless you dont mind the noise. But other than that your pc should be good to go

    Dr Dmoney Private E-2

    Yeah, ok. The noise I won't mind. If I can't stand it I will only loose a few bucks for differnt ones. I will have my tv or stereo playing so I probally won't notic it that much.

    Adding a fan controller will help control the noise: turn them down when just surfing the web or typing a paper or sumthin, crank 'em up when you're gaming

    Welcome to MG :) Feel free to ask us if u ever have any problems
