No offense, but you're wasting your cash. You simply buy the most expensive stuff you can get and probably have no clue why.

You don't need that much, of course, if you're rich and want that much that's fine. Do you even have enough data to store on 2tb hard drive? I have to agree with Banjoman, do some research and don't just buy the most expensive stuff you can find. :toast:

Looks to me like you just cut and pasted that list.

And you wont want a QX6850 for that mobo anyway, the FSB is wrong.

And what the heck is a gaming network interface card? I'm gonna go look that up

hey guys im new to the forums.

i just wanted to know that i found a motherboard called Intel® Desktop Board D975XBX2

and the URL is : http://www.intel.com/products/motherboard/D975XBX2/index.htm

and there is a case called the sunbeam transformers case - black.

and the url :http://www.xoxide.com/sunbeam-transformer-case-black.html

i just wanted to know that will the motherboard fit in the case

any help will be appreciated.


first off welcome to the TPU forums

as others have mentioned it seems you may be spending too much money for what your goals are.

i suggest you make a new post in the "general hardware" section and call it something like "need help building a new rig" and be sure to list what your budget is and explain what you want your rig to be capable of doing.

it is a common practice for people to do this and there are people here who would love to help you. :p

yeah so thanks guys for the help and honest opinions.

You mite want to rethink the board tho',maybe a high end asus/gigabyte p35/x38 board would be better than the intel board.

Yea it's complete gimmick. I remember reading a review of it, and it gave a ping of about 2 ms lower on average and no boost in framerates.
