I can't wait to get this built and BF2 on it.
 
Congrats man, hope you enjoy it!

Too bad you are playing BF2 on it though :thumbsdown:

What else would I play on it? 🙂

Well obviously whatever you want, I was j/k really (BF2 puts me to sleep though).

Get Oblivion and really put your rig through the ringers 😛
 
By BF2, I meant Battlefield 2, not Battlefront 2.

Anyway, any other thoughts? I think I made some good choices.

Thanks again to everyone that helped and put up with my constant questions over the last month and a half.

I know what you meant, and I stand by my comments. In fact just talking about it is making my eyes feel heavy.

You played FEAR at all? If not, try the demo, should look pretty good on your system.

I have no use for a system/software drive of that size.

Nope, I will try it now though. Can't wait to get this next week. I actually am picking up the case locally since shipping on it is insane.
 
awesome rig, any change you can say how much you paid? you'll definitely enjoy the games you play.

about the BF2 guy, not EVERYONE likes the games that come out..i have a friend that doesn't like Oblivion so don't sweat it. i think BF2 is awesome

anywho, the raptor150 would've been faster but it's not worth the extra money imo. i mean you could've accomodate for it by dropping down to the XT and getting a cheaper case but still, it's not worth it.

again, congratulations on the rig...enjoy building

Thanks! It was just right around 2k total for parts after shipping and everything. The deal on the Klipsch speakers and x-fi card at the local best buy saved me some money, and I saved on the case by finding it locally instead of paying 20$ shipping on it as well. Already having the Dell 20.1" widescreen monitor, saitek eclipse keyboard, and MX518 mouse also helped it not cost so much.

Now just to get it, build it, and OC it to at least 2.4-2.5 and I will be more than happy. The arctic freezer 64 is on sale for 30 bucks at newegg today, should I pick that up if I plane on OCing to ~2.5ghz?

I think I will want to throw in another X1900XTX in a few months and crossfire this bad boy.
