Sweet merciful God... and it survived? Those parts are either Jesus or Juggernaut.
The new GFX from AMD and P55 will launch around the same time. Nvidia's GTX 300 is a tad later.Originally Posted by pingpong1455
Remember that new CPU platforms require new processors, motherboards and sometimes new memory, whereas a new GPU platform is just drag and drop, so these guides are built around newer CPU platforms, not newer GPU platforms.

And as already suggested in the news thread, try the new intel SSD (once they fix firmware)

Great guides ill be sure and use these to help me build my next gaming rig
Gotta wait till Call of Pripyat comes out first though :p
@ OTH, E5400 > E6300 in highest OC.
@ 5870 = Estimate based on 4870 Launch.
@ SSD, G1 = tried and tested. G2 has problems now and may have problems down the road. It's definitely a pick for 2010, not 2009, but I might change on this, who knows.

Just put this together for under $1000, you may be able to save a few extra $ buy using the newegg combo deals. One I noticed gives you the Case with a 350W PSU at only $10 more then the case on its own.
But for under a $1000 it makes a good everyday system, you may want to stretch to a Q9400 or even a Q9550.

Since 775 is going to be around for a couple of years to come there is still plenty of life left in Intel CPUs and Motherboards. When you consider there is a 24inch HD LCD in the package its not bad for the $.

That's probably one of the weakest builds I've ever seen.
Q8400 + P43 + HD 4830 for $1,000 ?!?!?
Just get the Sub-$800 build from the guide and add a monitor m8. You'll be 10x better off.

Nice list sir

Here's the fastest gaming system for $800! This system is identical to the one on the first page (which I suspect is slightly outdated), but has a 4890 instead of a 4850. For $800 you want a 4870 at least! Of course I was only able to achieve this through the use of sales and rebates, but those are always available one way or another.
Intel Core i5 750 Lynnfield 2.66GHz 180 @ microcenter
GIGABYTE GA-P55M-UD2 LGA 1156 Intel P55 110
OCZ Gold 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 90
MSI R4890 Cyclone OC Radeon HD 4890 1GB194 @ ZZF with an extra $20 MIR
Western Digital Caviar Black WD6401AALS 640GB 7200 RPM 65 @ newegg
HP Black 24X DVD+R 31 @ newegg
Antec Three Hundred Black 55 @ newegg
OCZ ModXStream Pro OCZ600MXSP 600W 80 with an extra $25 MIR
Total: 805 including shipping (all items are in stock and have free shipping!) Also has $45 in MIRs which brings the actual total down to 760 after MIR.
Once the MIRs come in, that leaves you with $40 to put towards a CPU cooler (once they are more available for LGA 1156). When overclocked, the core i5 should be faster than any other CPU. This 4890 has better cooling than the reference model - Anandtech found an overclocked 4890 beats a GTX 285@stock on almost every test.
Here's the performance you can expect from this 4890-based system after overclocking. Pretty sure it's an i7@3.2ghz with intel SSD.
All for under $800!
i5 has obsoleted LGA775 and AMD completely.

Fixing the list...
Just waiting for 57xx cards to come out. Then quite a few updates come in, including $99 quad cores from AMD.

i would recommend this memory for the 1366 platform
http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...d.php?t=235587
btw dont forget to update the 5870 prices
edit: i cant see any reason to recommend the g1 version of the x25-m over the g2 anymore
