How about just paying this man to build him a rig =/

And yet he's using an Apple mini keyboard. The horror!

Not really. First you'll have to make sure your pump and radiator can handle the additional GPU. Assuming they can, you'll have to get some more hoses, get another waterblock, drain, cut hoses, disassemble new GPU to attach waterblock, fill, bleed, leaktest, etc. Probably a 1-2 day project where you wouldn't be able to use the system.

Thanks mfenn for giving him that news. Now he will be undecided again.

Looks like his system is going back to the drawing boards

Can we expect 22 more threads across 7 forums?

If you really plan on adding a second card later make sure youve got a MOBO that can do it...as I pointed out earlier the MOBO you listed (vanilla P8P67) doesnt. Just want to make sure you know. The P8P67 Pro does both SLI and Crossfire.

You know, this would be a hell of allot easier if youd just give me the money. Then you wouldnt have to worry about anything...I could just tell you how awesome it is and you could totally enjoy the descriptions, anytime you want! :O

So have you made your final decision yet? You know what would be even more awesome than giving me the money, posting a youtube video of you chucking the whole thing into a furnace.

"TAKE THAT YOU DANG COMPUTER NERDS!"

 

[johny2314jj]

still undecided . watercooling? cpu? psu? mobo? vidcard(s)? this shits driving me nuts

This probably won't influence your decision, but have you thought about:
If your budget if $4,000
Buy a $2,000 build that achieves 80-90% of the performance of a $4,000 build today
18 months from now, spend $600 to upgrade parts
36 months from now, spend $600 to upgrade parts
54 months from now, spend $800 to upgrade parts

Total spent: $4,000, at the end of 4.5 years, you will be at 80-90% of a top tier system

VS

Spend $4,000 now to be in the 95%+ of systems, and at the end of 4.5 years, be at <40% of a top tier system.

Sample scheme:
i5 2500K + Ximatek Gaia (Hyper 212+ clone) combo $232
MSI P67A-GD65 $180
G.Skill DDR3 1333 8GB $80
GTX 580 2x $499 = $1000
Corsair Force 120GB $210
Samsung F3 1TB $65
Samsung DVD Burner $19
XFX 750W $100 AR
Fractal Design R3 $100
Total: $1986

Then, if you want to shorten the time you spend your money, you could always buy:
New CPU, Mobo, Ram, SLI Video cards 2 years from now for $2k, that will crush any system you could buy for $4k today.

See, now that's a sensible idea. Such things don't belong in this thread.
