FabulousFred Posted August 24, 2007 Posted August 24, 2007 Thanks to a bonus from work I FINALLY ordered my new parts for me. And I just went wild. E6850http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16819115028BFG 8800GTXhttp://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16814143093Asus P5K-E wifihttp://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E168131311964 gigs of GSKILL DDR2-800http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16820231065Thermaltake PSU http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16817153038Got my P160 Antec case.
puntoMX Posted August 24, 2007 Posted August 24, 2007 Nice setup as always .Now, let’s wait until people post that you did wrong; the ASUS mobo has "problems", you would have been better off buying a E6750 or Q6600, your GTX is over kill and just gives you a few FPS more then the GTS and the Thermaltake PSU is outdated and noisy... *takes a breath*...There, but… I wish I had your system .It could have been wilder...
Zxian Posted August 24, 2007 Posted August 24, 2007 Like punto said - a bit overkill in some respects, but a nice system overall.
FabulousFred Posted August 25, 2007 Author Posted August 25, 2007 What if I told you, because of a deal with my father along time ago, I was only paying 2/3 of total price.
puntoMX Posted August 25, 2007 Posted August 25, 2007 I would say that you are lucky to have a dad like that . Post some pictures when you have assembled the system, would be cool .
FabulousFred Posted September 10, 2007 Author Posted September 10, 2007 BTW, When my pc shuts down the 8800 makes a buzzing sound.It might just be the fan but I dont know if its a big deal.
puntoMX Posted September 10, 2007 Posted September 10, 2007 Hi Fred,Thank you for the pictures, I’m sure people will like them.The buzzing sound could be electrical discharge from your card to the PSU or the other way around. Since the voltage is low, I would not pay to much attention to it.By the way, that’s a long Video card you have there... I saw some reviews on the Thermaltake PSU, they used a lot of good components in it...
ripken204 Posted September 11, 2007 Posted September 11, 2007 (edited) looking good so how much do you love 4GB of ram now please get rid of that s***ty stock cooler for ur cpu! Edited September 11, 2007 by ripken204
jcarle Posted September 12, 2007 Posted September 12, 2007 How can you expect your parts to survive if you're going to lay them on carpet?
FabulousFred Posted September 13, 2007 Author Posted September 13, 2007 I just put them there to take the pic. I keep all the boxes/plastic holders and stuff so the 7900 will go up for now.4 gigs B) I need to vacuum
