Building new PC.

[marineusa]

OK All. Here is your chance to put your skills to the test. I am in the process of building a new PC. I want it to be the best at what it does and thats gaming. I bought tower it a Thermaltake Xaser III Skull edition VM3000A. It looks cool and is well recommended for it's cooling abilities IE:4 80mm fans. OK but here is the problem i'm stuck at this point trying to decide on what else to buy. So many choices and so little time to research all. What i need is some experienced advice on what to use in regards to the Motherboard, CPU. i was thinking of going with a 64 bit processor IE: AMD but allot say a P-4 is the way to go. I also need to know what Video card would be best. PCI-Express ect. I know there is a PCI-express X-16.Help i wanna kick arss system to host and play games. I have decided to put 2 harddrives in probably ones that run 10,000 rpm i think they are the Cheetah ST373207LW. This looks like a good choice but i need some help from people who have been through this before.

cheetah's are SCSI iirc, you would want Raptors instead. but u can only get them upto 74GB, so maybe one raptor and another SATA drive wit more spce.

[atholon]

Hahaha, the most expensive I put together was over $15,000
that came with a 21" lCD and a XGA Projector.

it had like 8 gigs of ram

[marineusa]

well dont think i need to go that craxy atholon. but if ya wanna help me decide on internal parts drop me a line.

[atholon]

IDK I'd look at Newegg.com

I'd find a Gigabyte or ASUS board.
Then get an AMD Atholon FX processor and put like 2 gigs of ram in that sucker and to top it off put an X800 or 9800 XT graphics card in there. That will own most systems.

[Trojan]

How is it coming along?

[atholon]

Looking forward to seein' what he builds.

[Trojan]

Me to, I'm looking to build one now. So many options... .-troj
