| 806680 | 2009-09-05 00:20:00 | Wish I had that sorta coin for a computer. Youl ony need a 3.5g thermal paste even when watercooling. Im watercooled and im only on my second or third thermal paste after 2+ years of messing with watercooling and building pc's for people. Sacrifice a couple of 1TB hard drives and get a SSD, then raid the remaining drives. PSU is a bit overkill but I guess youl never have to worry about power, even with that setup I think a 1000watt would be pretty safe. Case is awesome, Im jealous. And go 8gig of ram, why not? rams the cheapests part |

| 806681 | 2009-09-05 01:57:00 | If your going to spend that much get the ASUS GTX 295 MARS, its not a regular GTX 295 as it is two gtx 285's. I heard asus only made 1000 of them :o Lol @ 6 1b HDD, with a 13000 budget you should consider getting some ssd/velicoraptor Switch the psu to the 1000W corsair, you won't need to use more than 1kw i7 is better than the i5, but they perform the same in games Why spend nearly $900 on a case? When their are other full towers for less half |

| 806682 | 2009-09-06 06:26:00 | Personally I would spend <$500 on a new computer (keep current monitor/kb/mouse/speakers), maybe <$1500 if I wanted to play some games. You can build a good system for cheap these days :) If you're into music and not gaming, don't buy a logitech surround system, go for a half-decent 2nd hand hi-fi setup, and a decent quality sound card, maybe spend <$600...? if you look/research carefully. That way, you'll still have $11 - 12k left to do whatever with. Travel, invest, education, whatever - there's more to life than computers. Your money won't go down the drain in 3 years as things become obsolete at break-neck pace. Imagine you worked to earn that much $$$ and spend it accordingly. But then that's just my opinion. It's your $$$, it's your choice :D |

Good advice if that's all his savings or something, but remember too there are plenty of people for whom throwing $13k at fun is not an issue at all. It really depends on his situation. |

| 806686 | 2009-09-06 22:41:00 | Awesome build - if I had that kind of money to spend on a PC.... :drool:drool:drool Would agree with what SolMeister, pctek and Blam have said though. With that kind of coin, be a bit exotic! Would love to hear how it goes when the beast is built! :D :p. Definitely no point in the extra ethernet card. Oh, one thing I would add, you're going pretty nuts with the whole thing, may as well do triple channel RAM properly... www.computerlounge.co.nz www.computerlounge.co.nz (You could get two of those if you wanted, 6GB really is enough these days though. |
