My future PC

Dragod · 05-13-2008, 03:18 PM

Just thought I'd show the PC I'll be building in just a few weeks. It'll be for Gaming, but also will be just a powerful PC in general.

Black Apevia X-Plorer Case

Going to throw in an extra 80mm and 120mm fan in there, too.

ASUS P5E LGA 775 Intel X38 ATX Intel Motherboard

Intel Core 2 Q6600 2.4GHz Quad Core Processor

EVGA 512mb 8800GT Video Card

OCZ StealthXStream 500W Power Supply

OCZ Gold 4GB DDR2 800 RAM

Samsung Spinpoint 750GB 7200rpm 32mb Cache Hard Drive

Samsung 20X CD/DVD Burner

And, of course... Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 64bit.

Now, the accessories:

Logitech G15 v2 Wired Gaming Keyboard

Logitech G5 Wired Gaming Mouse

Logitech X230 2.1 Speakers

XTRAC Ripper Gaming Pad (11"x17")

Yeah... I have no idea about the monitor, but this thing is over $1000 from Newegg. Thanks to Pierce, Gow, and Chiups for the help.

Very good choices.

I have all the same parts, except I have the green case, the 8800GTX instead of the 8800GT, just a 250gig HD, a different CD/DVD drive, and a different mouse.

You will not regret your purchase.

meh... thats pretty nice.. how much is that power supply? :S Thermaltake 600w purepower should be pretty good for $40 if you can find one at radioshack lol

Darren · 05-13-2008, 03:54 PM

Wow, Dragod that will turn out to be one sexy computer

What Operating System(s) are you going to put on it?

Dragod · 05-13-2008, 04:05 PM

Nice, you might try a smaller, 10000rpm HDD, Other than that it looks great!

Not worth the money. I need space, not speed in a hard drive.

runtohell121 · 05-13-2008, 04:25 PM

lol 10k rpm hard drive.. that would cost too much and the memory wouldn't be that much >.< i would recommend going for 8800gts or 9800gtx if you willing to spend more.. or 3870x2..

AquaToad · 05-13-2008, 04:25 PM

luv the quad. if i had any money id totaly get one :P

Techy Dude · 05-13-2008, 05:01 PM

dell inspiron [laptop]
250 gig hd
intel pentium double core inside
windows vista home premium/basic
3gbs of ram
built in webcam
capacitive media controls

id say its pretty good for all around of course im the one gettin it wat do u think????

Darren · 05-13-2008, 05:20 PM

That gaming mouse though, I don't really like the look of that, the design of it, you should get something that matches your keyboard...

Dragod · 05-13-2008, 05:31 PM

It's alright. The look of the mouse doesn't matter to me.

And Techy, in gaming a higher RPM Hard Drive makes loading textures and maps faster, I believe.

And I would have to get more stats on that laptop, as well as price.

PoN · 05-13-2008, 05:40 PM

beats the crap outta mine...

runtohell121 · 05-13-2008, 05:48 PM
