Hi Frinds,
Building new System For 3D Gaming, Movie Experience and for long lasting Future purpose atleast 4-5yrs
So far calculated Requirements according to my Budget that are-
AMD PHENOM II X4 965
4GB DOMINATOR CORSAIR KIT
NZXT PHANTOM CABINET or AERO Cool Predictor
CORSAIR H50
2X1TB WD GREEN
Blu Ray LG DVD RW

NOW I am stuck with Graphic card solution
As I support and fan of ATI its hard to go for Nvidia only for 3D, but while searching I found this-http://www.amd.com/us/products/technologies/amd-hd3d/Pages/supported-hardware.aspx
but not sure How many tried this and 3D solution really works for them

As if that case does it really saves money and give performance compared Nvidia? obviously Graphic card choice will matter bt lets consider graphic card from both companies of nearly equivalent capabilities then which one?? But is it worth to Go for this ATi solution, is it tested,proven,favourable by techies or Nvidia still serves best when comes to 3D in desktops?
If opt for ATI which one to go with and if no choice then Help me chosing bet. Msi N460gtx cyclone and Zotac 470gtx

Choice for motherboards depends upon graphic card so either crosfire or sli

Then comes PSU, system will run 24 x 7 at least thrice a week so corsair HX series should be good or seasonic s12D is good choice?

About Monitor Dell Alienware 3D is in my sight,ny recommendation?

Kindly Give Helpful advice,suggestions


Thnx in advance,

Geforce is the only way to go for 3D. matter of fact the geforce line is the only that supports full sequential 3D (HTPC geforce 430) and the newer line. with full audio passthrough and future 3dvision.

The ATI cards just do not offer hdmi 1.4 full 1080p 3D - they support half-frame rate - they support half width 3D and half height - but only geforce's latest and greatest supports full frame rate.


i'd skip AMD unless you are trying to burn up energy and 2x1TB green? really? how about a cheap ssd and a 1TB WD BLACK . and an external drive to backup yourself.

Would love to go for SSD,but way costly here still considering WIN7 installation 32GB is enough?

no i regret the 64gb (55 usable) sandforce drive. and i regret the 80gb intel x25-m - i'm using a 120gb boot now and it feels alright.

when SP1 (coming shortly) comes out - you are going to need some free gigs to get that to work too ;)
