Well grand total is right around $1500, you can see what I'm moving from in my sig, every other component ill be using from my old machine. Im down till around $400 till next week lol. What kind of performance gains will I see with this?
Im a gamer here, with my current rig CSS dips into the 30s and 40s at 1920x1200 (native res) with LOW detail. This will fix that right? I want this rig to last till at least when socket M2 comes out if not a little longer. (may add the physX card if its proves itself)

Wow. I hate you on so many levels right now... I wish I could build a computer like that one...

AKA: that's gonna be sick.

im hoping for around 2.6Ghz stable, that will be so nice , then down the road maybe add 2 more 1gig sticks of ram

 

[pandora's box]

woah that heatsink is cheap...

enjoy man!

just one more month till i go full out on a x2 4400+ and 7800gtx...

What are you going to use the system for that you would need more then 2GB of RAM in the near future?

 

[DejaWiz]

I'm running 2GB now. It's a good feeling having that kind of "safety net" if you will. 4GB will be nice, especially for programs and games that will eventually use most of it. Memory is so cheap right now, what the heck, right?

Luky! Ever take it off any sweet benchmarks?

 

[videogamer323]

yeah 2GB feels very nice used to have 512x2 and it didnt seem like enough to me. Plus when a 2gig kit the same as I had went for $800 a few months ago is now right around $300 how can you pass it up!

 

[(cf)Eclipse]

what will you be using to power it?

Actually, I've seen the HS for about $10 less elsewhere. Here: http://store.yahoo.com/svcompucycle/xp-90-21.html and about $5 less here: http://www.frozencpu.com/cpu-tri-13.html It's less money elsewhere, and FrozenCPU has the reccomended Panaflow fan for $10 or so.

i like your sleeves

[videogamer323]

Ill be using the power supply in my sig to power my rig, only replacing the CPU, Mobo, Ram, HS

 

[pstang]

not a bad setup, could have got the hsf a little cheaper

i think youll notice a slight difference in performance though

 

[robberbaron]

That will be basically mine, except you got the 4400+ and I got the 4200+. Also I'm using the XP-90C so nyah!

What RAM are you using? That Corsair stuff?

 

[shoes]

you said you just want to last until m2 then why get an expensive 939 processor? a 3500 would last you til m2 or 3700+sd
