Finally ordered my PC! Build Details:

[johny2314jj]

I really don't understand what i'm doing wrong here and why you people want me banned.. I bought a pc , posted the specs, and now you want me banned because I didn't build it myself......

 

[lehtv]

No, because you're trolling everyone. You still are.

 

[T_Yamamoto]

Trololol.

also, this is your 200th post, you should atleast know by know what the best is. LOL

 

[Blain]

I know its overkill but go big or go home. I feel better knowing it couldn't get any better at the time of purchase, thats just me.

I've been to CyberPower PC's web site.
:\ Let's be honest... You could have got better.

Your configuration is fine for what it is.

A system driving a 1080p TV? With two 590s? Your definition of fine is messed up.

 

[lehtv]

Fine for what it is... an overkill system. It's fine for an overkill system... ;]

 

[johny2314jj]

I like overkill

 

[johny2314jj]

whens the next gen of nvidia cards tho.??

And I dont mean to "Troll"

 

[Blain]

I like overkill

Your 2600k isn't overkill
The 16GB memory isn't overkill
The Intel 120GB 510 isn't overkill
The Opti 575VA UPS isn't overkill
Your Connectland headset isn't overkill

Do you still have time to edit your order before it's shipped?

the 16GB of RAM is overkill, the 2600k (for what he is doing) is overkill.

 

[johny2314jj]

so now its not overkill

 

[mnewsham]

so now its not overkill

for 1920x1080 a single 590 is overkill... you got two which will be completely wasted. Good job.

 

[lehtv]

so now its not overkill

2x gtx 590 is two times overkill
16gb RAM is overkill
The needless extras are overkill
The water cooling is overkill
The UPS is probably overkill
2600K is overkill
Two sets of 3D vision glasses is overkill
The motherboard is overkill
HAF-X is overkill
The overclocking and "professional cabling" services are overkill
The price is overkill
The amount of trolling is overkill

 

[aphelion02]

Its not just overkill. Its just a complete waste. For 1080p gaming, you will get the exact same FPS with a 6950 xfire at most. In fact, I would even argue that you spent more money to lower your real performance because with a single gtx 580 OC you will get the same FPS most of the time but without the microstuttering. You probably wasted $3000 or so to make your gaming experience worse.

 

[johny2314jj]

I got 2 GTX 590 so that I could never drop below 60fps in 3D 1080p. 1 590 would average 30 - 40 fps in 3D mode for certain games.

 

[lehtv]

You mean like Metro 2033, one of the most demanding games ever released, averages 47 fps at 1080p@4xAA with 580 SLI (~ 590)? http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/geforce-3d-vision-hd3d-steroscopic,3050-9.html

Which game averages 30-40fps with one 590? Is one or two such games reason enough to pay another $900, or would it make more sense to lower the details a little bit?

 

[T_Yamamoto]

TROLOLOL you guys love feeding the troll
mostly lehtv

Yes its worth it for those few games and future releases, my build is futureproof

 

[mnewsham]

yes yes, 5 grand now instead of 2 grand now and 1 grand every 2 years after, so 6 years gaming with this build, vs. 8 years the other way? you will finish your 6 years with the 5k build very disappointed.

 

[johny2314jj]

idk. as long as it works like I hoped I will be happy with my purchase

 

[johny2314jj]

exact same thing happened to me when I saw the xbox version, been a console gamer until now...

[johny2314jj]

^ must explain a lot

 

[mnewsham]

^ must explain a lot

so his single 570 did 45fps at 1080p so you thought going with 2x 590's (basically 4x 570) was a good idea? You need help.

 

[RampantAndroid]

Exactly. I've never spent 5k all at once. Hell, I never spend more than 1k a year keeping it updated. I've been doing it that way for 5 years now. And let's say I spend 1k every year. Over 5 years, I've spent 5k, and I currently have a really good system:

i7 950 @3.8 - Sold i7 920 because it was a bad stepping. Bought the 950 this year on sale. Only spent $40 or less getting more headroom.
GTX580 - Bought to replace my 5970. Broke even. Bought this year.
12GB RAM - Bought in 2009 when I bought my i7 920.
250GB Intel 510 SSD Bought this year, on sale for..$450 (this is my overkill part.)
Other HDs, my latest, a 2TB drive, this year, <$100.
2x DVD-R burner drives, 5 years old.
TX850W PSU, 2 years old.

So my big cost this year was...an SSD. And next year, I may grab Ivy Bridge, if it impresses me. And I'll sell the 1366 system off to a friend, or at work.

whens the next gen of nvidia cards tho.??

And I dont mean to "Troll"

Kepler is next year. It also will have a decent speed jump, like all years. This time next year there will likely be a SINGLE card solution performing nearly as well as your 2x 590 behemoth, except it will not have the issues inherent with SLI - microstutter, game compatibility issues up the wazoo...

As for your 3D fetish, here is the end result of my dive into nVidia's 3D sham:
http://rampantandroid.com/images/IMG_0542.JPG

That photo was uploaded and sent to nVidia support, after they told me that my monitor was at fault, or that my videocard was at fault (after wanting me to try driver voodoo) - serious ghosting issues abound. End result? Someone did the research: the nVidia glasses are in fact out of sync.

In short: Your system, in one year something with equal to better performance will be available for 3k-3.5k less. In 2 years, you'll be looking for replacement parts. But hey, if you've got 3k to burn, whatever. I'll be the one laughing when you (or your parents) are filing for chapter 7 bankruptcy.

i can just sell my 590s when I need new parts.. Whats the problem here, I am set for the future!
