TACO owns Syndicate Computers and we are building him a new comp because his comp sucks dick! I just wanted to know what you think what would be a good selection to go in this beast.
This is what we are aiming for.

Intel Core 2 Duo E8600 Wolfdale 3.33GHz
GeIL Black Dragon 8GB (4 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066
Western Digital Caviar SE16 WD6400AAKS 640GB 7200 RPM SATA 2
MSI P45 Platinum LGA 775 Intel P45 ATX
DIAMOND 4870X2PE52G Radeon HD 4870 X2 2GB 512-bit
NZXT Lexa piano black case

We are trying to keep this build sub 1000 dollars so keep this in mind.

The WD drive you have is one of the best and i've used the same one in several computers.

PS: The 8600 is an overclocking beast :)

I recommend loading it with LOTS of porn.

Its the only way.

haha

I dont know if im misstaken or not but isnt that fan you posted for the cpu heat sink just a 120mm case fan? I recommend a zalem 9700 heatsink +fan btw.

hide some dead fish in a fake hard drive or something.

It is; however, it is a panaflo. They are the best fans out there IMO, esp. if you are going to overclock. They move an absolutely massive amount of air, and are fairly quiet(at least when you realize how many CFM they are).


The zalmann is not even in the same league as the xigmatech+panaflo.

The only thing better than it is the thermalright(which i use), but have since decided it isn't worth it. I've used the xigmatech in the last 3 comps i've built and it works beautifully.

Why in the world would you ever need 8 gigs of ram?

CPL solitaire

F*CK Coach.

Please? Mmmmmm....I'm a man whore, yes I am.

Coach wants to max this thing out with 8gb to futute proof his investment the fan is going to be a Asus Silent Square its really good and its free with the build cause I have a bunch in stock and im giving him one free also found a better board the Maximus Formula 2 for same price as mobo posted so that is good... For the porn thing I think Coach can get his own. Ohh and it will have Vista Ultimate 64bit SP1 i print my own COA's so he is getting that as a freebie!

Parts you listed will cost over 1500 bucks.I would drop 4 gigs of ram that will never be needed,by the time you need that much the whole thing will be dated.Get another hdd instead and run a raid array.

Rig looks great and should handle anything you throw at it.If you can get it to come in under a grand hit me up and ill let you build me one.

how much is this costing i wet my pants a little
