ULTIMATE Gaming Computer

Im also afraid that if i watercool, i wont know how to put it together cause many people say it is difficult. Plus and cant find a w/c kit for that cpu.

Watercooling realy isnt necessary. I had it, and it wasnt that great. Its quieter per cooling power than air, but for me it wasnt worth the maintenance. Grab yourself an Slk-948 or XP-120 heatsink.

Personally, I wouldn't watercool either. If you're uneasy about it, don't. You can ALWAYS watercool later, and that >$200 will feel nice in your pocket.

Ultimate PC with value ram who would've thought.

the fx series of processors fit under athlon 64's in watercooling so any block made for Athlon 64 fits the FX. i do suggest watercooling because i have a Athlon 64 and it produces a lot of heat. if you go with water it will help but with air i had to keep my fans on hi and even in that i was getting a lot of heat from the CPU. I recommend watercooling as an Athlon 64 owner bt you can do what you want.

get the steelpad s&s or xray-pad thunder 9 mx510 and pc-155's from sennheiser (what the pro gamers use) or a supermat thier 17x11,like the above post go 3000 fx53,I no gamers(clanmates) with both and thier awsome,get an ideazon zboard or the logitech elite keyboard. Oh ya,get a mouseclip also just to be cool

That mousepad you want is crap. Get an icemat. I've heard from some friends back east that a lot of people at big LANs there use them. I'll be getting the 11x14" (I think that's teh size) pad eventually. It's a glass mousepad, and it's only $50. VERY precise BTW.

wHY HASNT ANYONE TOLD ME THAT I NEED A CASE FOR MY HARDDRIVE? oops, sry for caps

the new lga775 w/ a 64bit 3.4 E0 clocked to 4+ is the way to go

ddr2 + PCI-E also

 

[Moos3d]

Don't get that mousepad, get a Steelpad S&S. Also I would suggest dropping the MX510 and going for an MX1000. No matter how much wire supporters complain about lag, it won't lag if you use it correctly.
