my new rig

You'll have to post a screenie or list what components you selected because we can't see what's in your shopping cart ;)
 
More like 1.5 rigs amirite, why do you have two power supplies and two different motherboards, but only one intel processor? Why a GTX 260? :p

Edit: I can see it even though I'm logged in. For some reason it's my shopping cart now. :confused:

Edit Edit: Ok, cleared it and clicked the link again. No dice.

The URL he posted is a generic link for shopping cart at Newegg, so there's no way you or anyone else could see it. My question is, why did you have a GTX260 instead of 4870 in your shopping cart? :D
 
Create a wishlist, and save it.. :) then post the link to that
 
 
What are you going to be using this system for? Regardless, I would not build any new system around a quad-core Phenom, especially a 9X00 CPU that has the TLB bug. They just don't compare to Intel Quads. At stock speeds, you can expect a Q6600 to be around 25% faster than Phenom 9600. And the 9600 will barely overclock, while the Q6600 will on average do almost a 50% overclock on air.

I don't know, I didn't put it there. I think the 4870 is a 260 killer anyway. :D

Just for burning dvd and play game sometimes. So, if i get Q6600 just get new intel MB instead of AMD MB and which MB is OK not so fancy
 
Ditch the PSU. The only good Thermaltake PSUs are part of their Toughpower and Purepower RX lines. I recommend getting this PSU:
Corsair 450VX 450W PSU - $76

I also recommend these motherboards:
Gigabyte GA-EP43-DS3L Intel P43 Motherboard - $96
MSI P45 Neo3-FR Intel P45 Motherboard - $114
Gigabyte GA-EP45-DS3R Intel P45 Motherboard - $146
Asus P5Q Pro Intel P45 Motherboard - $150
DFI Lanparty DK X38-T2R Intel X38 Motherboard - $185
Abit IX38 Quad GT Intel X38 Motherboard - $210
Gigabyte GA-X48-DS4 Intel X38 Motherboard - $225

Just to help you out: If you don't need RAID, more than 6 SATA ports and only need semi-decent overclocking, check out the DS3L. If you need 8 SATA ports, RAID, 4 PCI slots, and legacy ports, then get the Neo3-Fr. If you don't need more than 6 SATA ports but want RAID, firewire, a second PCI-E x16 port, a second Gigabite port, support for 16GB of RAM, optional eSATA, and high overclocks, then get the DS3R. If you need 8 SATAs and like the DS3R but don't need support for 16GB of RAM , get the Asus P5Q Pro. If you want Crossfire with full x16/x16 bandwidth, get the Lanparty DK X38.

Also, you're missing RAM. If you haven't chosen a set of RAM yet, I recommend this set:
G.SKILL F2-6400CL5D-4GBPQ 2 x 2GB DDR2 800 RAM - $84
 
 
im going to go with the x48 rampage mobo, from the reading it says that its very stable during ocing

And? Is that worth the extra $75 to $150 or so over a comparable P45/X38/X48 motherboard that will OC just as well?
