Good GOD!!!
That is 2 beast system yuh have dey. You need not upgrade at all for at least 2 years (unless yuh REALLY want to)

That is the kinda hardware we all would like to aspire to. I mean tha FX-60 by itself is almost a THOUSAND US.
I think yuh get yuh money's worth.

Dare I say this might be GATT's most powerful machine? (the desktop)

Waste of money.......

Its clear u put 0 thought into your build u just hit newgg spent maby 15 minutes and are about to hit ok on the bill... ending result is a waste of money. my pc build upcoming will cost alot less and will be of higher performance. It takes atleast a month ro properly research a pc, get feedbacl read reviews ect ect. Also some of thos parts i see u got their arenmt exactly up to par

Czar · « **Reply #9 on:** March 05, 2006, 08:23:43 PM »

Lahd bush....yuh wicked man...while I will agree that there are more cost effective ways of building a pc...or better ways to spend $14,500...how yuh go shoot down d man rig dry so boy?

Queso · « **Reply #10 on:** March 05, 2006, 09:16:20 PM »

thanx bushman, thas the kinda feed back i was lookin for
but still the cost factor doesn't seem to bad as a system close to this on newegg (almost same specs) costs about $3000us
as i said, bought it from my bro, got free shipping i might add, well not free, he paid for it, but i guess that is free for me, or was it in the cost? ok forget the shipping thing

Queso · « **Reply #11 on:** March 05, 2006, 09:17:28 PM »

oh forgot to ask
wat about meh laptop bushman?

as ah mention that, does anybody besides me love the uwi wireless connection?!?

Arcmanov · « **Reply #12 on:** March 05, 2006, 10:18:43 PM »

UWI have a wireless network? Which part? I use my laptop there constantly (up by the bank side) and never detected it.

Bushman, kindly explain which parts "not up to par" and why are they so. I have done a lot of research on those very parts, and the only strike I have seen is against the chipset fan on the Asus motherboard, which some have said is very loud, and in some cases, fail after a time.

Queso · « **Reply #13 on:** March 05, 2006, 10:41:33 PM »

i use it down by the sac

Kaizen · « **Reply #14 on:** March 06, 2006, 12:26:01 AM »

well i admit with bushman eh you could build a lil better bang for buck with that money. And sad to say it bush right there and what he have in the works is a lil monster i mus admit.
but still queso the pc is good and enjoy the fruits of yuh labour

SLI WASTE OF MONEY

RAM BAD TIMINGS NOT VEYR GOOD OC

PROCESSOR IS WASTE OF MONEY

A OPTERON 165 COST 350 USD AND CAN OC TO 2.8 2.9 ON AIR COOLING DEPENDS ON THE STEPPINGS
this is where research comes in

mouse not a gaming mouse

Arcmanov · « **Reply #16 on:** March 06, 2006, 01:38:04 AM »

^^^^^^ Well, the only thing that fits your 'not up to par argument' is the RAM. Everything else you stated has to do with COST (or 'bang for buck' as some might say).

I'll disregard the 'mouse not a gaming mouse' comment as straight hatin. If not that one, then which one, and why (from a technical standpoint)?

Enquiring minds want to know.

W1nTry · « **Reply #17 on:** March 06, 2006, 09:14:34 AM »

That is a bit of a monster there indeed man. Doh worry about bush too much, he's somewhat right with the choice of CPU and RAM, but all in all your rig is more than gaming worthy and there's no point in crying over spent money now. The FX-50 is too pricey and the 165 as bush pointed out would have been a better deal, however I will say that OCing the 165 on AIR to 2.6GHz is possible but not altogether wise depending on the temp of the room in which you have the machine. As for RAM, because of the on-die memory controller, lower latencies do come into play, but at the same time at 1GB sticks timing is still iffy and very few manus have managed 2-2-2-5-1T timings and thats a recent development. Your rig is damn powerful and whilst you could have saved money here and there, or gotten better parts for the same price, you rig is more powerful than most ppl here and definitely more than Bush. So happy gaming.

SLI WASTE OF MONEY

hadda agree there, my bro sli his 2 BFG 7800GTX's and not much of a big difference,but i guess he still went with it for bragging rights

bushman5 · « **Reply #19 on:** March 06, 2006, 11:55:19 AM »

1 x1900xt would have been a better buy

mouse are u familiar with the term DPI

Opteron chips are the cream of the crop chips, they are better quality chips than the 1 used for the fx60 in some cases and oc to 2.9 easily. Note this depends on the steppings of the chip. 100% of the chips will dop 2.7 on air, while maby another 40% will do 2.9 and like 2% will do 3ghz on air. If u have phase change that will go even higher. so for the money your spending u coulda bought a 165 and a phase change unit and hit 3ghz and above and have a blazing fast chip + a phase change unit so u can oc any future chips great long term investment
