Nice call on the memory and the combos, Danny. But I think he can still go with the hard disk that I mentioned, $49.99 after Promo Code.

Here is one list I've done for another person which as a similar requirement as yours. Check it out. EDIT: The list has changed. Seeing that you will be running a multi-monitor setup and you are reusing parts. Take a look at it again.

If you don't do DC projects (which puts 100% load on your GPUs and/or CPUs 24/7), or extreme benching, it will be fine. Just watch out for the cooling for the PSU.

How exactly old is the computer? What PSU is in the computer?

More RAM, 2GB will not be enough for these days.

Athlon II X4 630 - $95.99. My friend, today is more than half way through the 2010. Building a gaming computer without a hardcore is somewhat laughable. Shell out 15 bucks and a quad. You will like it. Mushkin Silverline DDR1333 4GB $79.99 - Don't understand why memory prices are bitchin...

Phenom II X6 1055t - $197.99 Six core and overclocks well. This thing can last you for a long time. ASROCK 890FX DELUXE3 - $149.99 Very nice 890FX board for the money, it has 3 16x slots which will give you lots of graphics potential. It had also received a lot of favorable reviews, too...

So... what do you want us to say about it?

Phenom II X6 1055t - $197.99 Six core and overclocks well. This thing can last you for a long time. ASROCK 890FX DELUXE3 - $149.99 Very nice 890FX board for the money, it has 3 16x slots which will give you lots of graphics potential. It had also received a lot of favorable reviews, too...

We build better lists than anyone else :) Building one right now...

Danny's build a pretty much a perfect one for the money, however I think the PSU and case is pretty much of an overkill. Antec VSK-2000 - $49.99 Antec EarthWatts 380W - #39.99 The PSU will be able to handle your rig without breaking a sweat, especially with its 80PLUS BRONZE rating, this thing...

It will work, good luck with your build :)

By the way, don't get that GTX470, especially with the stock cooler. That thing is an oven. Get the MSI GTX470 Twin Frozr - $319.99 after REBATE. Will clock like crazy if you overvolt it, and it has the best cooler out of the box you can ask on a GTX470. Also, it is factory overclcoked. If...

For the price right now, don't get the H70. Also, the H50 isn't that much better when talking about price/performance. If you are looking for the best performance out of the box, get the Thermaltake Frio for $59.98. With two high-cfm fans included, this thing beats most of today's...

According to my list above, it totals as $1232. Leaves you about 200 bucks for a power supply. Here I will give you a best one that suits your needs. Corsair AX750 - $149.99 after rebate. Best power supply for the money right now, and don't forget that this is a 80PLUS GOLD rated power...

I agree, go with the build I gave to you. There are way, WAY more upgradability on a LGA1366 rather than a 1156. More PCI-ex lanes, memory slots, and of course, you can always upgrade to those 6-core monsters.

Did you pull the trigger on the notebook?

MSI X58 Pro-E -$189.99 More x16 lanes are always good, especially if your computer is a rendering rig. This board supports tri-SLI, so you can upgrade if needed. CM690II Basic - $69.99 Very nice case, extreme cooling and good looking. I have one also and I love it. :) i7 930. - $284.99 If...

Don't do it, it is not overclockable and they make upgrading a pain in the butt. Building the list for you, hold on. :)

First off, what will be your overall budget?

I will help you get some bang for the buck, and also save some money. Core i7-930 - $284.99 Not much difference, but it saves you 15 dollars. I bet it will clock just as well. Gigabyte X58-UD3R - $210 Tri SLI supported, and will OC your 930 way better than your ASUS. Patriot 6GB...

Dude, i am a little bit skeptical about open box deals since the packaging kinda sucks. One little bent on the pin and the mobo is done, I advice you to take on the BRAND NEW route since it is only $189.99 after promo code, and free shipping. So it is only about $20 more.

TOSHIBA Satellite L655D-S5076 - $599.99 from $750 on Newegg. It's a hell of a deal considering the quad core that it has. Also, get the Scythe Mugen 2 for $40 bucks so that you can finally overclock your rig, you will get a LOTT more out of your PC.

No, for that budget do NOT get LGA1156. No offense but you made a bad choice on the CPU. i7 930 - $284.99 Gigabyte X58-UD3R, can even support 3-way SLI. $189.99 with a 10% promo code Corsair 6GB - $129.99 $603. With a better mobo and LGA1366. If you want you can go a little bit cheaper on...

So what will be your total budget? I might have an idea that can let you have both a laptop and a new computer. :)

Just stumbled upon the HEC 1080W on Newegg. Can't say that this is the best brand, but for $79.99 I think this is hell of a deal. Don't forget to add the promo code "PSU92X4", or else you won't have the discount.

The closed A700 is going for an "okay deal" on Amazon, going for $120, I seriously recommend those.:)

Here is the K701 going for $259.99 on Amazon, I've heard that they are basically the same as the K702, aside from the color of course. It is a LOT cheaper than the K702 for some reason, and that price gap allows you to invest on a nice amp. If you want some super-comfy cans, here is also a...

That's very nice.

Out of the last 40 posts, I can't even see 10 pictures. After all, this is a gallery.:)

Guys, take it over to the PM. This thread has almost 2 consecutive pages that have little or no picture at all...

Then how about the FT02? If you really want to choose between the two, you should get the Lian Li. The Corsair REALLY is a water-cooling type case. Many users who throws air-cooling system in the 800/700D systems have trouble keeping them cool.

Why do you need such a big case for it?

Stop fucking quoting pictures! You guys already have the chance of giving out comments for this section, don't go overboard with your privileges.

Don't get it from Newegg, the shipping is expensive as hell. You can maybe get some from eBay, used ones from major companies are usually top-tier.

I like how the 800D totally dwarfed the 5970.:eek:

Newegg is cheaper for the NZXT cables, but shipping is a pain. http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=40000001&Description=nzxt&name=Cables Performance-PCs sleeving sucks, they are extremely low quality, and it also costs an arm and a leg.

One 5870 probably won't draw much power. The seasonic will do fine.

I mean the fan adapter, not a fan controller.:)

I like that fan adapter on your 5.25 bay. Where do you get it?
