Take what stpl said.. Change this: PSU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16817103937 RAM: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16820227210 CPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16819103546 Difference is 92 dollars less, and ur better off doin that, and OCin' by 10% to get you to a 4800+
well the catches are better on the 4600+ also plus u can acheive even higher clocks, prolly around 2.8 per core if ur an uber OCer
you really helped him... *sarcasm* he wants links, not another forum that he has to read 1000 pages of stuff that we could tell him here...
master ur absolterly right haahaaasfz. yo like um.... use the one i psoted llol haha. seriously jusne the onem i postedddd
Here's my build. It cost me $2000 when I made it, so it should be around $1500 now. AMD Opteron 170 CPU ASUS A8R-MVP Motherboard G.Skill 2GB DDR500 RAM Sapphire X1800XT Video Card Seagate SATA150 250GB Hard Drive Antec P180 Case Enermax Liberty 500W PSU Scythe SCNJ-1000 Heatsink THIS is the best you can find. Take my word for it...it is probably better than the computers of 95% of GameRenders members. If you want, send me a PM and I'll give you more information. This setup is geared towards gaming and overclocking, as illustrated by the CPU, RAM, and graphics card. The motherboard is fully Crossfire-compliant and is one of the best overclocking value motherboards on the market. The P180 and Liberty are an awesome case/PSU setup, and if you want, I can link you to reviews of all of the parts I mentioned. They all have received numerous Editors' Choice awards from top reviewers around the web. Here's a few screens of what my machine is capable of. Enjoy!
wow nice build bona fida! its not the best but its up their, u did a rlly nice job overclocking the processor! hows the X1800 working for ya? did u OC that one too? overall it looks nice but that case isnt that nice.. it looks like it dont get good airflow and its not pretty
Yeah definitely not THE best, but it's probably the best you can get with $1500. The X1800 is also overclocked, to 700/1600. I used the BIOS flash released by Sapphire, that was supposed to be for the X1800XT Platinum Edition. It worked perfectly and the card works like a dream. If you really think the P180 has bad airflow, you must be kidding me. It has capacity for 4 120mm fans (3 included). One is in the back, one is on top, and one is in the PSU/HDD area. Quite possibly one of the best cases ever built. And as far as not being pretty...it's elegant and minimalistic. If you go for lights and all that...your choice. Here are some reviews of the P180: http://www.silentpcreview.com/article255-page1.html http://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,1697,1833214,00.asp The editor-in-chief of Silent PC Review contributed a lot to the designing of the case, so it's extremely silent and extremely effective.
lol my bad i didnt take a closer look at the case... but for $1500 i could easily get better tbh lol...... lamparty mobo same cpu or the 4600+ X2, an X1900 or a 7900GTX.....
