$1100-$1400 to build / buy a computer

Why buy a cheap p35 mobo....your spending good money on everything else so why not get a good mobo like DFI http://www.newegg.com/Product/ShowI...ption=DFI+LP+UT+P35+T2R+ATX+Intel+Motherboard

where would I take the money away from though? I can't spend any more money than I already am. as it is, I'm gonna be in debt with my dad.

That board wouldn't be better for your set-up anyway. p35s only do cf, and your doing nvidia. Not to mention they don't do cf that well since its only 16x-4x. That last pci-ex16 slot is worthless. Your DFI that you selected before fits your build better.

Fixed the link sry. I edited the wrong one. https://secure.newegg.com/WishList/PublicWishDetail.aspx?WishListNumber=6327274&WishListTitle=Reynardin

Yea i spend a little bit of time on newegg just around 4hrs a day since im throwing builds together for my gaming clan and also for my website/company im getting ready to start.

Hm, this actually looks pretty good!
Are the memory that you chose better/worse than the ones which I had listed? and I think I might go with the harddrive that I previously selected

ok, so what I gather from this is that my board would be better for my needs. is that correct?

 

[Reynardin]

I'll probably be buying the parts within the next two to three hours, so if you have suggestions, please make them known =) I'm currently looking at the build i quoted two posts ago, but i think ill change out the hard drive for a western digital

 

[ShadowFold]

You do realize that has two 8800GTS's and that board has one PCI-E slot right?

 

[Reynardin]

That was a mistake, when I added it to my cart, there was only one. Probably a bug on the website.

 

[ShadowFold]

Oh ok Good list then! I dont like that ram tho.

 

[Reynardin]

would you get the http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231145 instead? i was thinking about that. I would also save $10 right?

 

[ShadowFold]

I dont like 1000mhz ram, I would get a 800mhz or 1066mhz kit. I dont like uneven stuff like that tho.. Its just me. The Gskill is cheaper and has the same specs so I say go with em!

 

[Reynardin]

hm, can you recommend some 1066mhz ram around the same price?

ok..if you don'y have that much go with the dfi p35 775 dark board..well worth it..

[ShadowFold]

I dont think there are any but 1000mhz should be fine!

What's wrong w/ the Blood iron he has now? Its cheaper and offers virtually the same features as the lan party. It almost looks like your just paying extra for the color scheme on the lanparty.

btw, with the http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811144042 case, will the cooling be good enough for OCing the cpu and/or graphics card?

Yeah it will be adaquate, although the antec 900 offers much better cooling. But if you get a few better fans for that one (assuming the stock ones aren't that great) and you should be fine. The cpu cooler will take care of the cpu, and the gpu you will just have to turn up the fan on. Considering how much cheaper it is, I would go w/ the Apiva, but it depends on your style.

 

[Reynardin]

I probably will go with the cheaper case so that I can pay more for the other stuff.

 

[Reynardin]

It looks like I'm ready to buy it all now =D.
Just gotta wait for my dad to get back home lol.

 

[Reynardin]

and oh btw, I AM replacing the 120mm fan. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835220014
