i7 860 is 1156 socket

I agree the GTX 260 (680Mz) may not be the best but the only other choice was the 4890 at the $200 mark which was my limit. I perfer Nvidia. This GTX card I purchase because of the clock is like a GTX 275. I saw the student version OS and I did not want just a download. I have not built a...

The research on coolers lead me to this Freezer 7 rev 2. I am not a hardcore overclocker so it should be fine. On the video card the 5770 with direct X 11 was considered but I felt the GTX (680 Mhz)was better for me. I was going to buy the 5850 but the cost is still to high to justify in my...

I bought the 860 (boxed factory sealed) off Ebay. The seller had 100% rating and his history looked good. It was the best deal I could find. I wanted to build a i7 after doing some research.

I wanted to stay around $200 for a video card. Yes there are several GTX 260 for around $180 I went with this one because it is a little faster. The 5850's are still cost too much for me. If you will notice I have a wireless router and OS priced in the build which makes the price higher. Take...

I am guessing you are having problems pumping air into you tires? I had the same problem but I knew it was not my compressor. I needed more volume, so I bought a bigger ID air hose and that solved my problem.

Mwave end of year sale Sapphire 5850 $289.99 page 6 http://www.mwave.com/mwave/ghardware.asp? http://www.mwave.com/mwave/skusearch_v3.asp?px=XM&scriteria=8305589 I was thinking about this card on a new build? Is Hot or Cold?

Thanks that is the information I was looking for. When I get ready to purchase the parts I will post a list and see what everyone thinks. Thanks for your help.

I like the looks of your build could I ask a couple questions? How long is the 5870? Will the case support the video card? Is there a reason you went with that motherboard? Is this system better than AMD? I am going to build a new computer thats why I am asking?

I haven’t built a computer in a long time. I have been reading to catch up and I am way behind. The last computer I built was AMD 2500 Barton, which I am still using now. I use to build computers for the neighbors and small business back in the old days. I am ready to build a good computer for...

Thanks for the info. I already purchased the Power Supply and got a special price it was cheap as 650w. Plus future use I may run Crossfire. I have not kept up with the computer industry. Maybe intel is the way to go I dont know. My budget is not a problem. I like to purchase from New Egg...
