lol what a beast. I bet you will get more fps than 60-70 with that beast mate.

i looked into it more and the mobu is actually a 16 gb max ram but im fine with that; im also getting a corsaird 60x hydro cooler for the phenom and a 48 gb solid state drive to run win7 64 bit on plus my virtual ISOs from daemon blu ray; gonna drive the price with this plus the fans up to about 1 clam; but i can deal with that.

need to add some fans and cooling tho.

I have become a fan of Asetek Coolers myself, but they are not available mass market.
Had a customer wanting a new cooler/cpu installed on a Cyberpower PC so I took their cooler as part of the deal.

You can however get the same coolers through a partnership with Antec.
These are what I install on peoples machines now pretty exclusively.
The Antec Kuhler H2O 620 (or 920) Liquid Cooling Systems are pretty solid and not big money.
The 620 is like $70 and the 920 is like $90 and they give solid work whether OC'ing or standard usage.

hahaha that's rad. How long have you had yours? I just picked mine up about a month ago.

Almost a year.

Seanne1986 Yeah, I can't compete. Though that's a pretty good setup though. You overclock any of it?

Roc, I could never maintain any of my laptops. Though it seems that one has some decent specs.

Ayreon, You have any other planned uses for your beast? (Sorry if this turns into a thread jacking)


6GB DDR2 RAM
AMD Athlon II X2 3.0GHz
GIGABYTE GA-MA785GM-US2H
Hitachi 500GB HDD
HIS RADEON HD 4670 1GB
COUGAR 560W

Nothing spectacular by any means, but I can run editing software pretty well, along with most games on medium high settings

[Roccityroller]

haven't had a single problem with this 'top, other than the internal HDD being fried by US/Canada Customs X-ray scans. Back and forth to school... 4-8 x-rays per month. Kerplowy.

You got a solid PC being built there and yes it is pretty futureproof for a bit depending on your gaming tastes. I still personally refuse to add a SSD drive to my stuff. The price still isn't worth it to me. Couple years it'll be fine.

I've overclocked my gfx card a little. GPU from 810 - 910 MHz, and memory from 1250 - 1330 MHz.
I can overclock more without getting any artifacts. But I seriously don't see any difference in performance when I overclock more than that.

Tbh.. I don't even see a difference between my settings and the standard settings.

The way I boost my performance is 2 softwares called Game Booster and Vista Services Optimizer to shut down unnecessary programs. I've experienced 15-20 fps increase after using both them programs.
My gfx card is far from the best there is also.. But if my motherboard was capable of crossfire, then 2x 6950 would be awesome.
