BTW if you didnt guess ill be MEGA broke by the end of this so kryp stop asking for me to get a server OR help you pay for one.

I think you could do a little bit better, here are some suggestions:

A really nice mtherboard, cheaper and does everything just as good as the rampage. BTW you do know that the mobo you chose was mATX not ATX?
http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=138_711_775&products_id=12012

OR if you want mATX:
http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=12174

Also the cooler master V8 is very fiddley to install and doesn't have the best performance compared to other coolers in the same price range:
i suggest this one:
http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=207_23_769&products_id=12193
same price but a bit better for performance, just throw on a good fan and your set! You could also get the black cooler for $5 more if you want?
http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=207_23_769&products_id=12322

Also i would say wait untill the new 5000 series or 300gtx series graphics cards come out. Then you can either get the 4890's cheeper or get a 5890 or gtx360 for hopefully the same price.

REMEMBER!! these are just suggestions.

I7 920 2.67 ghz
Msi x58 mobo
ati 5850 GPU
8 gb ddr3 ram
640 gb hd
Raidmax sagitta2 black case
silverstone 1000w psu
Other stuff... I'm gonna liquid cool and then overclock the core as well

Munch out
p.s this is armed

Dont over clock it because they dont last as long if you do that. Good to see you got on the forums finally il just add you to the members group.

It doesn't matter wether you overclock or not. when it dies you'll probably be wanting a new cpu by then. (this only applies to overclocks under 5ghz )

Yeah i think he was thinking of putting it to 4ghz.

KryptonBlast wrote:Yeah i think he was thinking of putting it to 4ghz.

Yeah that what im doin with my 920 4ghz is really easy from what ive heard and you only need your stoke cooler.
what do you guys reckon about 4.5 ghz and im getting an expensive cpu, well kind of expensive

I don't think that would be a good idea, especially if you aare planning on keeping it at that all the time. try for 4ghz and see how you go.

Its not me that is doing it, it is iMunch.
