My New Rig.. Post your comments..!

[VeryProudOfYa]

I am gonna build a new A64 Rig here soon, hopefully if parents will let me..
What do you guys think of the following:

Extreme Gamer Vortec 600W

Raidmax Samurai 908 ATX Mid Tower Case (Still debating on the case)

AMD Athlon 64 3200+ Winchester Core ( I dont plan on overclocking, this is gonna be a pure stock gaming rig, I already have an overclocked rig )

Debating Mobo, dont really know whats good, can someone suggest something? Either MSI or DFI is what I was thinking, I have been using DFI on every build I do and love them, customer service is great!

Some good memory, once I again I havnt really looked into 64 bit platforms and DDR2 memory and such.. Im still stuck in the 32 bit world, can you blame me?

Hmmm the topic is open to all suggestions and comments and sorts..

P.S. I run a eVGA 6800GT now.. I was thinking of goin sli.. I will have the money, so basically this is a no budget system and I want it to be my dream rig basically.. Something I will never need to worry about upgrading.. Something that will run the games of the future.. Ya know? I am going all out.. I am gonna start working on a phase change system.. I am gonna phase change the CPU.. and Water chill the video card(s)...

Sounds good? Later guys.. :toast:

I was thinking about goin dual core cpu whenever those come out.. I know I read something about INTEL really getting into dual core.. Like I said, I have no budget on this rig.. and basically I want the best of the best.. Something that will last forever..

Thanks guys, later

Yea.. I defiantly want 2GB of memory.. I will either get 2 6800GTs or Ultras..

I was gonna go with FX Series instead ;)

Defiantly SATA Drives..

Thanks

*Does anyone know if HP sells their LiteScribe Burner seperatly?*

[komer]

is ok to buy GT instead ultra,u can overclock on ultras speed,but u can save money for another component:)

[VeryProudOfYa]

Yea.. I really wanna do this thing.. My parents arnt gonna let me do anything for a few years though..? I am starting on my phase change and water cooling project..

And I just gotta job so I can start pullin some cash in.. Im not gonna buy anything for a while..

By the time my parents agree to it, dual cores will be out.. lol..
But I can dream huh?

Keep comments coming on componets please.. I am archiving all these things into a TXT file.. I am gonna buil a dream rig..

[komer]

????u work and u must ask parents if they agree you to buy a cpomuter?LOL,very LOL
,roflmao

[VeryProudOfYa]

No.. Im only 14.. and I just dropped 400 on a eVGA 6800GT.. They dont understand computers.. They dont like em and dont want me "wasting" money on it..

And my job is taking orders at Wendys.. lol..

[komer]

just work and buy some hardware,tell parents that computers r future etc.....

[VeryProudOfYa]

I try every exuse immaginable.. They think since I am only 14 I dont know what I want to do.. They think If I spend the 1,500 I got for Xmas from my loaded grandmother on computers I will wanna turn around and buy something different and I wont be happy with anything at all..

I am gonna take all computer courses next year in high school though, so hopefully once they see my grades in those classes.. They might be more convinced..

They already know I am a guiness when it comes to computers.. I built my first rig and it worked fine.. They are proud of what I can do, but dont understand why I cant be happy with:
A 32-bit AMD Mobile
DFI Lanparty Ultra-B Nforce II
And other, not close in performance to A64 Chip parts.. lol..

Hey I am happy with this rig, it runs doom 3 on ultra quality at AF 16x, AA 8Xs, and resolutions set to 1280X1024X32 but its no 64 bit computer.. lol..

[komer]

What a weird thread :stick:

You have a nice rig which you enjoy, so just save some $$$ and get the hottest hardware coming next round (ie dualcore FX's, AMR, etc...) You will always have to worry about upgrading, market cycle is changing every couple of months, and it changes very fast, there's always something new & improved around the corner... that's how the market is.

[VeryProudOfYa]

Yea.. I know, thats probably what I will do..

a very odd thread indeed, but i wish they would make dual core Xeons, if you could double these up it would make like 4 procs, then if they had HT enabled it would be like 8! This would tear D2OL up! I forsee heat being a major issue in dual core chips, especially the prescott based ones. Im very eager to see what intel decided to u se as the stock cooler for their dual core chips.

[VeryProudOfYa]

Yea..
