Great just don't hold back on the mice and monitor.

Nice, the 2x 8800 Ultra are a waste IMO, but I guess the fastest is the fastest, no matter what the cost.

You're using a 64bit OS right? 4gb is kinda pointless if not...

icantfindone · May 12, 2007

$2368.15? I am throwing the BS flag. . . where are you ordering your parts from? I only ask, because the cheapest 8800Ultra I can find is $830 for ONE. You have 2, so thats at $1660 already. Just for your graphics. Add $970 for the QX6700, and the pricetag is already up to $2630. And thats not even counting the $230 for the case, $400 for the harddrives, $400 for the ram, $240 for the Mobo, or the $300 for the powersupply.

I wish I had your supplier. . .

I have been recently searching for the same components. Where did you get your parts?

Hazaro · May 12, 2007

You are crazy... No need to go for Ultras, good cooling and SLI GTX are way more than overkill to anything.

*Wants your rig*

ditto, give the insider up! im going to be building a new rig in the next year or so and if you get those prices now I will get a killing 9 months from now

emceepecks · May 13, 2007

holy #$&@ that's a nice rig

Krogen · May 13, 2007

Deal of the year if you got it for $2,300

Awesome components. I give it 9/10 for wasting money on ultras

J/K. High(est) end is high(est) end. Period.

mcoleg · May 13, 2007

i don't know...

depends on what this rig is going to be for.

also, what the monitor and the cooling is.

it's kinda hard to o/c those 4-cores as is, with 2 x ultras (huh? really?) damping the hit inside the case it's even more so.

post what you clock you'd get with it.

Mycobacteria · May 13, 2007

No water cooling? What about a better PC case??
Dont forget the 30" DELL monitor...

We want to see pics when its done ofcourse...

imposter · May 13, 2007

Get that bad boy on water =P.

I would choose another motherboard. not a big fan of evga motherboards... i would spend another 10 bucks and get an Asus.

If i was you i would look into 1KW PSU.

Great specs, post up results :thup:
