1309572 2012-10-30 03:54:00 Also going for a Velociraptor is madness. you could get a budget SSD and a 1TB WD Green drive for that price. (No that I'm recommending either of those though, get good quality storage...) wratterus (105)
1309573 2012-10-30 03:57:00 Using on-board video? :D :D

This MB doesn't seem to have onboard video.

Opps slight oversite there I think - Kind of need video in one form or another.

Good spotting :thumbs:

1309574 2012-10-30 04:10:00 Not to mention a monitor to run it on, amongst other things :D

Operating System too?!

1309575 2012-10-30 04:18:00 tbh id only go with a 1200 if your running 4 gpu's Slankydudl (16687)
1309576 2012-10-30 04:18:00 Yeah you'd probably be better asking computerlounge to get you a bundle deal on one of their builds. Just have a talk to them on the forums, give them a budget and requirements, whether or not you want overclooking and assembly done for you, ask if you can get a bundle deal, and they'll be helpful as they can. 8ftmetalhaed (14526)
1309577 2012-10-30 05:29:00 From CL 4k will get you an i5 and 2x670s. Building it yourself will get you (from what I posted) an i7 and 3x7950s. Building it is half the fun anyway :p icow (15313)
1309578 2012-10-30 09:21:00 Yeah and the mobo is kind of overkill also unless you plan on pushing your clocks too the absolute maximum. Slankydudl (16687)
1309579 2012-10-30 09:22:00 Yeah and the mobo is kind of overkill also unless you plan on pushing your clocks too the absolute maximum. The motherboard wont make your computer better unless you are overclocking like crazy and need good multi gpu support. Slankydudl (16687)
1309580 2012-10-30 20:15:00 As has been mentioned, Video card and SSD are missing. I'd swap the PSU for Corsair or Antec, 850W is fine if it helps the budget. Maybe drop the CPU to a 3930K to save some, too, with not too much performance change. But the difference into a GTX680 or 7970. inphinity (7274)
1309581 2012-10-30 20:32:00 Damnit all this talk of the higher end 7970's make me want one! :(

Anybody have a couple hundred spare they'd like to gift me, just coz I'm a nice guy? ;)
