Need Advice on PC Parts

[DemiGod]

I realized I need at least 3 120mm fans to add to this case as well.

Any suggestions on company? I'm sure it doesn't matter much.

LED or NOT / Performance over Db noise.

 

[radeon747]

Well tell you the truth having trouble deciding what blue led case fans to get my self are you going for a theme or some sort.

 

[radeon747]

Ok regarding your PSU choice:

Sorry there are much much better deals out there, you are looking at a ChannellWell built unit, basically the same as the Corsair only its modular.

@radeon

Why you triple posting man?!

 

[DemiGod]

So I'm assuming that the 100$ markup on the Antec is just for the name?

This is also 750w instead of 850w.

What about the fact that the ASUS board has two x16 PCIE [and one x4] slots where the eVGA has x16,x8,x4,x8? Does the fact that there is only one x16 slot hinder it for later?

I also see that the ASUS has an eSATA port.

If these are important to you, why not get the real deal?

I don't know if they are important, heh. Hence my asking.

What makes this a 'real deal'? More specifically, what makes it better than this?

-edit- I see, it has two PCIe, eSATA and the IEEE [no idea what that is]. Meh, not worth a $40 price increase.

The LE edition is Evga's attempt to pare down costs to compete with other manufacturers. The 758 is the full blown board with no such manuevers. It is a proven mb with unrivaled OCing ability. Evga support is second to none btw...

I couldnt find anything better than the EVGA board great price 2, go for that

That one is a much better board all around but I will be honest, I don't particularly care for the evga X58 boards. In other words I am rather biased to this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813186169

@DemiGod

You would be surprised truly how much on load you actually need in a psu:

[DemiGod]

Does it matter which version of that aprticular board or where I get it from

I see this for $209 versus the $259 from NewEgg

 

[JrRacinFan]

That looks like a refurbished/open box counterpart. If your willing to deal with that for $50 cheaper ...

 

[Deleted member 74752]

Here is the Evga 759 mb with all the "bling" attached...

 

[n-ster]

DemiGod, I know a bit about i7 systems and what to buy... but I'd prefer helping you through msn, easier for me... if you don't want to its ok I'll post here though

 

[DemiGod]

You can catch me on AIM: arcubilis

Hmm, perhaps a 750w PSU would do just fine. Would that be safe for a future SLI and upgrading to 12GB RAM later?

 

[n-ster]

yes but 12gb is a waste
*making AIM account*

 

[DemiGod]

AIM isn't currently letting me sign on but lookout for me.

12GB would be for 3DsMax specifically.

 

[n-ster]

oh I see... not fimiliar with those types of programs sorry xD

 

[JrRacinFan]

12GB would be for 3DsMax specifically.

6GB would be fine but 12GB wouldn't be a total waste. It would help some.

EDIT:

Heck maybe even at that a P55+i5 would serve its purpose for you.

 

[Deleted member 74752]

Here is your LE mb:

And here is the Classified:

Yes, I own them all and each has it's purpose. Bottom line is what is your intended purpose?

 

[DemiGod]

The intentions are at the beginning of the thread. I've decided to get the non-LE eVGA.

And i'm looking for a good 700-750w PSU now for under $160. I figure the bump up on the mobo is enough to convince me on straying from the $220 PSU.

Thought's on this one? Any similar ones that are cheaper but similar performance? Perhaps this Antec?

 

[Deleted member 74752]

Imo I would stay with Corsair.

 

[n-ster]

My AIM is NsterfromTPU

I suggest to go ud3R, the 750TX and a nice big case so that the non-modularity doesn't bother you, so HAF 932 for the case
