Build questions?

[02wrxgt30r]

Well iv asked a few questions in here and have got good friendly answers so far so I am going to call on you again to help me pick some hardware for my build! Iv done a ton of research I jusk cant decide

Motherboard- I was origanally looking at the RIIE then the classified and now I just cant decide lol I want to overclock a 920 to around 4GHz and eventually have either two 285's or 295's a card to run physx and a xfi sound card it will be for a everyday machine and alot of gaming and to be honest I like tinkering and fancy toys SO? oh yea and it will be WC

and please keep this good and clean and dont let it turn into a all out brawl :rofl:

No need to splash out loads of cash for a daily 4ghz OC mate... eg a Giga UD4P is more than adequate enough, save the cash for ya WC gear

will the two 285 or 295's a xfi sound card and a card for physx comfortably fit on that board

also will you seen any difference between this and something like RIIE or classified as far as gaming performance and such

...fitting is the problem. Finding a board to allow an SLI mix of two large cards AND a sound card is tough. Thankfully Creative has offered the X-Fi in a PCI-E card.

I was running an SLI setup, but i went to the Gigabyte EX58-UD3R and then the latest BIOS allowed SLI to be ran on that board. But, i'm using a 40" LCD TV as a "monitor" and can only run 1920x1080 anyway. Since my one GTX280 will hold frame rates very playable with the games I currently play, I think i'll stick to one card for a while......

Why would you want to add a Phsx card to an über sli rig ? Also try onboard sound first, it really isn't that bad mate... I just want you to save some cash, for a daily gaming rig (unless you got a 30 inch monitor ) one 285 or 295 will do.

Thanks Leeghoofd for the advice and I checked out the gigabyte boards and they do look pretty good ill look into them

the main reason for the sli is because I like toys basically and this will be on a fairly large monitor and a big TV for movies and who knows what else lol im not sure on the sound card yet

as for the physx basically the same as the sli and I what to be ready for future games with alot more physx
