Is this system any good?

[GRANDAR]

Hey, this kid who goes to my school built this system for me and overclocked it. He told me the specs and ran 3dmark for me and such. I just want to know if these specs are as good as he said they were, he said they were high end. Thanks. 🙂

Mobo: Gigabyte K8NS Pro nForce 3 250GB vdimm modded
Memory: OCZ PC3500 EB 2x512 3-2-2-8 Timings 3.2v
GFX: XFX 6800 GT w/ NV Silencer 5 @ 420/1100
Sound: Audigy 2
HD: Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 SATA
Case: Lian-Li PC75B Modded with 5x120mm fans (2 in window, 3 in top)
PSU: Fortron 530w PSU
Optical: Sony 52x24x52 CDRW
Cooling: Thermalright SLK948 w/ Vantec Tornado with fan controller.

I appreciate your input, I think it's pretty nice but just wanna know what you "experts" think.

your friend did his homework🙂 I would probably give that thing a 8/10.

That's a hell of a lot of fans for my tastes, and the Gigabyte board's a bit iffy, but other than that the rig is great.

Did you make sure the OC is Prime95 stable?

 

[GRANDAR]

Yes, it's prime stable...he tested for 48 hours and I've tested for 24...so I'm pretty confident it's prime stable.

Yeah, that's a really nice system. How much did ya pay for it? And KPH, what would it take to get the last 2 points?

It's pretty good! I give it a 9/10. Just because High-end to me would be a $1k processor.
You're friend sure knows what to look for. Nice OC too.

True. I have a 3200+ at 3400+ speeds right now. It's no 2.6ghz, but if you did want to save some cash, it's always an option.

Personally, I too would keep the 3400+ if I had the extra cash.
