Sgt. Slaughterâ„¢-TopBrass November 23, 2006 Share Sgt. Slaughterâ„¢-TopBrass Member November 23, 2006 (edited) I am planning on getting a new computer at the end of January. This is my current new egg wish list (I kinda went all out). This computer will be strictly GAMING ONLY ( ). I have to go all out because my current pc is AGP based and I can no longer upgrade the graphics. I'm going SLI for the first time so any advise would be great! Case Motherboard Graphics x2 I am contemplating going with the 3 graphics (2 SLI and 1 for physics). I'm not sure I'm going to do this (no application support yet as far as I know.) If I did this I was going to add a 8800 GTS Power Supply Proccessor Memory Hard Drives x2 Sound Card Thermal Paste (Heck why not? ) Heat Sink I have one concern. The heat sink is so large I think it might have a few mounting issues. P.S. I hopping there are some good buys on black Friday so I can knock a few of these off of here for cheap. ( I'm not delusional just hoping there are some hard drive deals maybe even a sound card.) Edited November 23, 2006 by Sgt.

Kruten November 23, 2006 Share Kruten Member November 23, 2006 For all of that, you better get a full tower case. It might not all fit in a midtower, and if it did heat would be a major problem. The specifications for that Zalman heatsink don't say it supports LGA775. I've always been reluctant of Maxtor cause they seem to have problems a lot. That much storage is way more than enough for just a gaming rig. Hard drives that large start to slow down because of so much area it has to search through for data. A single 250 or 300 would be good, maybe with a raptor or something thrown in. Everything else looks good. Course, you could always get a quad-core.

Sgt. Slaughterâ„¢-TopBrass November 23, 2006 Author Share Sgt. Slaughterâ„¢-TopBrass Member November 23, 2006 Will the new Vista support quad core? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kruten November 23, 2006 Share Kruten Member November 23, 2006 If the motherboard supports it, then Windows will. If you got a quad-core and all that you have right now, that computer will be good for a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
