thanks for the replies again pplz, great help

decided to change the heatsink to a thermaltake BT, seems like a lot of ppl claim this to be great at cooling (and seeing that the thermalright 120 and scythe ninja and tuniq aren't available here)


@skott: yeh you're right, i'll stick to my original plan of getting the 7200.10s, the raptors really aren't worth it...


also, i'm gona wait for a midrange dx10 card to come out... until then i'll just get some budget card - i'm not a hardcore gamer anyway, i just play every now and again

> my final problem is what psu to get, either the SilverStone ST60F or the SilverStone ST65ZF .. for some reason the ST60F costs a tad more, even though it's 600w compared to the ST65ZF's 650w... i'm confused both seem to have great reviews as well


P.S. @ w00t: i find it interesting to see that you find it hard to believe a girl can have an interest in computers, and accuse me of pretending to be one; just because the closest a girl gets to YOUR computer is the pornos you beat off to every night, doesn't mean another girl can't take an interest in them too

The mid range G80 cards debut in February so eVGA's Step Up program may be something to consider. Alot of folks are buying a eVGA 7900GTO and then stepping up to a G80 model within 3 months. Only downside to this is unless you have an extra PCIe card to use there will be that week or two that you wont have a card in your rig.

From what I understand is that for a single 8800GTX (we'll speak high end so we can ensure anything lower will work as well) needs a psu that can supply up to 30amps total and up to 18amp on the 12v rail/s, and has two PCIe connectors (8800GTX/SLI will require more amps (58a-60a total is the reccomendation I think) and four PCIe connectors). So, look for a psu that does all this. For more detailed info about PSU and reviews I suggest JonnyGURU.com. JG has a forum there if you want specific details of whats good and what isnt. His testing methods and reviews are really good.

I didn't accuse you I simply said you are using it to get your posts. The closest a girl gets next to my computer is when she's in my bed. gl on your build

Don't pay any attention to him.

He's just trying to get you to post pics

It's a tried & tested method.

Girl posts on AT.
Guy questions femaleness indirectly.
Girl is indignant.
Guy keeps throwing little jabs about proof of being a girl.
Girl posts pics for proof.
Guys rejoice :laugh:

Am i right guys?

i think you need to get a girl and i think the maturity of this forum has BADLY dropped since when i joined.

xolisaxo, do you currently have a computer? if you do, i wouldn't buy now and wait for a card that comes out in february; just wait til february for the full build. if you don't have anything right now and would like this rig to be built asap, your parts look good. could you post the prices you're getting the current parts at? and are there any sites that ship to australia that you know of? we might be able to recommend something cheaper/better if we know where you can purchase from.

about the psu, i hear a lot of good things about corsair lately. the enermax liberty or seasonic (s12 or m12) is a good choice. you could even go with a 600w fortron psu. it all depends on your total budget and us knowing what you can get at what price

Wow.

I am joking around :roll:

And also trying to point out to her what's going on.

In case you hadn't noticed, i did offer her advice in this thread & the other one she posted in Mobos.

Next time try finding yourself a girl instead of bashing those trying to help out :roll:

hey i reckon that's a bit harsh, i'm sure n7 was just trying to make light of the situation - not only that, but what he said is kinda true, from other forums i've posted on, kinda seems to happen a bit, but it goes with the territory i guess...

anyway for what it's worth, here's a list of the stuff i finally settled on, and perhaps we can consider this topic closed (thanks to all of you and the great help you gave )


e6600
2gb gskilliez HZ pc6400
p5b deluxe
silverstone st60f
sapphire X1950PRO
lian li pc-60 plus
seagate 320gb 7200.10
tuniq tower

that's pretty much the best i could have done considering price differences here in australia, so i'm happy enough with it

just gotta wait for the ram n heatsink to be delivered, and then i can get started on building this n testing it out

thanks again for all your help, i see all the millions of ppl asking for help on their build here and i rekkon i'm lucky to have gotten all your replies thanks heaps guys!

500-600W will be more than sufficient...people and their psu recomendations :thumbsdown: why don't you go read some total system uses and get back and see that even the newest, highest performing parts w/ an 8800gtx uses at most 300W - read and learn, and this is power from the wall

plus the psu she is getting is a quality unit, not one of the sh!tty ones used in the $30 cases

Where have you been in the past 3 years?

It's been going downhill since all the 12-year old kids started joining.

That psu will work just fine. Enjoy the rig and let us know how it turns out.

Originally posted by: Boyo......Great Case, but you may want to look into the Lian Li PC7 which has 2x120mm front and rear fans plus an 80mm top blowhole. It offers much better cooling.....

A PC7 has better Cooling than a 60PlusII??? 60PlusII's have 2x120mm fans(Side & Front), and 2x80mm fans(Top & Rear). And that Rear 80mm fan is in a CPU Air Duct. And they are only a few bucks more than a PC7 at new egg.

I'm genuinely curious, as I'm considering a case for my build.

If you wanna save a bit on your memory get the Buffalo Firestix DDR2-800 for under $250. It uses the same ICs as the G.Skill HZ

Otherwise it looks good
