    TBH Dude its nice setup but if you payed 2300 was to much,

    I could have put a better system togetter for that cash, Could have put in
    Two new 150GB raptors raid0 Two 7950s and 2GB of 2.2.2.4 OCZ Ram also would have gone for another CPU and a better board but ya its a rig you will be happy with!

    If its your first Build Great Job man really,

    if not then shame on you,!

    Should have seen my first Build omfg i though i was so great till i learned abit more and found out i got owned on price and specs lol!!

    Anyways Take Care

    DDLR - post links to prices with tax & shipping details for each of those parts.
    If you mention Ex-VAT, you gonna be raped the ClueBat.

    You didn't specify the clock rating for the "OCZ Ram", nor the chips used.
    For socket939 there are preciously few better boards that the DFI NF4 SLIs.

    2300 isn't a bad price for a solid quality rig.

    Which CPU is better than an overclocked 170 then? 175/180 or FX60? They'll probably all get to around the same speed. Looks a very nice build, sweet LCD too. 2300 isn't bad at all. Id love a link to 2-2-2-4 RAM too

    2300 for just that ? you got fairly ripped off tbh mate :( For that price i can build a sli/crossfire better everything gpu/cpu/ram/board/case/psu and have a 19" in that price too. and had it all watercooled apart from the monitor obviously :)

    But is still a fine beast of a rig :)

    Shoulda gone to specsavers !!

    my maths are a bit rusty but

    2* 7950 at 400 = 800
    2* 150 gb raptors at 200 = 400
    fx 60 = 850 i think
    total = 2050

    seams like u have 250 4 the rest and u will be doing well to get the rest 4 that!!:)

    €400 for a 7950?

    gtfo!


  • Registered Users Posts: 16,712 ✭✭✭✭astrofool


    A few people are also working it out with 2x 7950GX2, when he's only getting one (I assume they're confused by the X2 in it's name).

    Nvidia doesn't even support 2 of them (quad SLI) right now.

    have to second or third this, even in the US you are looking $500 at the least. Only way of getting one really cheap is maybe from Taiwan, but then you have shipping and customs to worry about.

    Unless you find an eejit who puts it under the wrong section of ebay or somthing!
