What do you think?
blamay, thats like the 10th answer that you’ve given people that doesn’t help at all. How about you be less of an a$$ and help the man.
Anyway, yea thats a good setup, you should save yourself some money and avoid getting an extra GT240 card just for the physx though. The two GTX460 cards in SLI will be above and beyond what most games will require, especially ones like MW2 and AoC. In any case, you can use any older card as a physX, if you dont have one laying around just use one of the GTX460s whenever you swap them out for an upgrade. I plan to use my swapped out 9800GTX+ as physx whenever I get my "Fermi" card in the mail.
You should also consider getting an EVGA mobo and an intel i7 quad core instead. I wouldn’t put my money down on the six cores AMD yet. A quad will be all and more anyone is ever going to need anyway, not to mention that most PC games do not yet benefit from quad core computing, not to mention six-cores. Last time I checked GTA4 was the only one. Get the i7 and a nice aftermarket heatsink to keep it cool and you’ll be set to overclock like a champ.
A couple more words of advice.
Save yourself 10 dollars and take off the blue neon cathode. I’ve ordered computers from cyberpower and the cathode they install is pretty lame considering its really cheap and only one, I ended up taking it off once I got it and installed my own UV cathodes instead. Plus added a bunch of neat fluorescent cabling to match.
Make sure you pick the option for them to wire everything neatly in your case. They do an amazing job there and you’ll be suprised at how neatly they arrange all the cables. Way worth the money also considering your airflow will be optimized too.
Also, be prepared to upgrade your speakers pretty much as soon as you get the computer. The logitech ones are like, bottom of the line, cheap cheap speakers. Get a nice pair of altec lansings instead.
Hope it helps. Cheers.
PS: How much was this setup going for? You can email me here on yahoo answers.
How is it that YOU built it? Looks more to me like you ordered it. It should game tho
The build is very nice. Having two cards+ a Physx card will play pretty much every game you want.
ahh! i think you can send a signal out in space with that build and finally get in contact with that intel lifeform we been trying to find,just joking , good build nothing more i can say rated between 1-5 a 5
Why the hell would you make an awesome comp like this and play to crappy games. First off ditch CoD…that is for a console and the game is for beginners straight up. Get BFBC2 instead and play that bad boy on max and be wow’d by what a real game is like. Second wtf why AoC…haven’t you learned already what that game has done. Wait for Terra and if that aint you’re cup of tea go with Warcraft long enough to meet enough people who want to play Star Wars TOR when it drops. Again you’re comp make up should be able to run the toughest game with FRAPS and WMP running in the background flawelessly.
