well considering you're going w/ an i7 get the triple chanel gskill. and that CAS 7 will perform much better than the 9's will for you.

newguy24 · Dec 4, 2010

ok guys here it is....took n-ster's help and everyone's ells...here is what i got..THANKS AGAIN!!!

RAM-- i picked because i like corsair and CAS 7 is going to run smooth...i almost got 2 for 12gb but 6gb will be fine(to start), and plus overclocking it should make this memory good

POWER SUPPLY - again corsair, i have allot of corsair parts never had issues with it. this power supply is 850w , but what i like is the 20$ promo code i get from it , which in turn gives me free shipping as show, plus it is only 20$ more then the XFX 750W after the mail in rebate, and if you want to minus the other 20$(towards the PSU , instead of shipping..maybe get shipping free) its even.

as for the SSD and SOUND CARD , i can up grade those later. no need to do it now as i don't even have the speakers i want for the sound card to even matter....after holidays probably get them both

so lets hear all final thoughts please!! again after holiday ill get SOUNDCARD/SSD/ and probably get speakers and keyboard upgrade for xmas.

also add 210$ for the cpu i7-950 from micro center. so about 1465$ MAX, maybe get free shipping when i call. cross my fingers haha

THANKS AGAIN! CANT STRESS THAT ENOUGH!!!!!!!

EDIT-- THE VIDEO CARD IS CHEAPER BY LIKE 5-7$ AT EWIZ, AND I HAVE A 6FT HDMI CABLE ALREADY , WILL ALSO GET FANS WHEN/IF NEEDED

also let me know what ya think about, dropping blue-ray and adding 6gb of corsair ram...LMAO

I really do not like the choice of RAM, just a waste of money... pay 90~95$ if you want for the 1600 6GB kit, or get the 12GB 1600 CL9 as I suggested for the same price

Didn't the HX850 have a promo code of 20$?

EDIT: This just bothers me so much lol, if you want to spend so much in RAM, I'll find you a similar cheaper set and gift me the difference lol You are not going to SEE or FEEL the difference between 1333 cl9 and 1600 cl7 I bet you.. besides, tighter timings aren't that useful for intel, high bandwidth and speeds matter

so your saying the 1600 CL9 12gb vs 6gb 1600 CL7..... the 12gb 1600 CL9 is better??

also does that case come with 4 LED fans??
1 x 120mm silent Rear fan ( 1500RPM)
1 x 140 mm blue LED silent Front fan ( 1000RPM)
2 x 140mm blue LED silent Top fan (1000RPM)

or is that just what it supports?

n-ster · Dec 5, 2010

no, the rear exhaust fan isn't LED as it is in the back, so LED is a little pointless, the 3 big fans are LED though. So 2x 140mm LED fans on top, 1x 140mm LED fan in front, 1x 120mm fan in the back

I'm saying going from 1600 cl9 to cl7 for that amount of money is just STUPID lol because the difference in performance is practically none, UNLESS you need the fastest RAM speeds for some professional work that you are doing or something, which isn't the case for you. After 1600 cl9, you aren't going to see much of a difference at all

and with double your RAM, you have endless possibilities with a RAMdisk...

here is a 1600 cl9 RAMdisk, but only dual-channel so yours would be slightly faster:

Samsung F3 1TB:

Keep in mind, usually, the 4K results are the most important

thank you sir, 12gb of ram it is lol
