Im guessing you had a little extra spending money these past few months?

haha

New bike, new pup, new car, new computer, and new squeeky toys in your girl!

Share the winning numbers my man. Haha

 

sweeeet desktop nate. lol that will last you 5 years

 

Hahah I sold my soul to the Devil for the talent of Sales.

Next on my list I think is a Corvette for myself. Maybe a birthday present.

Thats what i'm hoping. Should be a pretty beast machine.

 

Daaamn! Mind building another one of those up and sending it my way? That thing is going to be a beast. Why did you opt to not go with a gtx 560 or 580 for your video card? Just curious

What kinda games you into that you need a beastly machine like that?

I am a computer guy, I appreciate these kinds of things lol


Edit: Removed giant quote of original post

 

The gtx 580 is $500
radeon 6970 is $370
that was my primary motivation in that decision.

DC Online is my current game.

Diablo 3 i'm looking forward to and perhaps Guild Wars II

 

Ah, money didnt seem to be an issue lol, thats why I asked

still a really sick computer, im jealous

 

Hahah, well... it wasn't really an issue...

However, I looked at some benchmarks and didn't think it was justified.

 

Well it definately is overkill if you ask me, what you have should perform plenty well.. I was going to build one for about 700 bucks in december with a gtx 460 then i ran into some financial issues

 

Run a raid 0 hdd array, youll be much happier with speed. Or a SSD for windows partition/programs and a regular hdd(or raid 0 array) for data
