Here's my new rig!

I'm about to order all these components so I can get started building my new system.

I was hoping a few of you geeks could look it over for potential compatability issues.

If there are any changes you would make, speak up now before I order.

This should make a hella good gaming rig right?

Thx for all your help!

 

yeah thats gonna be awesome, if your going to do gaming be sure to get good speakers!

 

hey i would like to build me a good gaming system and i was wondering how much it should cost to build

 

all that stuff is costing me like 1100 bucks but you can get a hella good gaming system for a lot less.

just gotta skimp on stuff that doesnt affect performance.

 

thxs for the anwser in a month or 2 the people i work for should be getting back from upnorth they only come down here to GA for a cople of months thats when i will get a new computer or i will just save the money and bulid me a good gaming computer

 

does the mobo have dual channel ram support. you would need 2 sticks of ram to take advantage of that.

 

I wanted to get a 939 socket mobo with dual channel ram support, but didnt want to pay so much for a 939 socket processor.

The 939 mobo's arent real expensive so Ill wait for the prices on the cpu's to come down and replace both later.

I have replaced a lot of components but I have never installed a mobo/cpu/hsf.

If anyone knows of any good tutorials with pictures(specifically of HSF installation) please post a link.

I guess Im gonna use the stock HSF. When I get into OC'ing then Ill replace it with a better HSF.

Thx for all the replies.
