Ruff_Ryder November 26, 2007 Share Ruff_Ryder Member November 26, 2007 I purchased my existing rig from ABS 4 years ago, it set me back $2500 and it served me well, but with the advent of these new games (UT3, etc.), I want to try and build my own rig, I would like to build a rig that will last me another 4 years so any input will be appreciated. I am gonna go with the CoolerMaster 830 stacker case (plenty room) and I also like the Intel QX6700 CPU/EVGA 680i mobo combo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that sold yesterday - were you the buyer? Yessir, I found it on the Hardforum, I figure I could tinker with it a bit and it will play UT3 without a problem, I wanted that CPU.
