I'm running my "New Build" ideas past the forum to see what people think, I have not built in a long time so kinda "out of the loop" on newer parts.
I will also be putting the full specs of the build in ..Hardware.. so I can get some input on the whole thing! (which i could use) Thank for replying .....jeep | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Jeepmann/Custom Built OS Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit + xp,Vista,ubuntu in V-Box's CPU Intel Core i7-2600K Sandy Bridge 3.4GHz (@4.5Ghz@1.230v) Motherboard Asus Maximus IV Extreme LGA 1155 Intel P67 Memory G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 16GB 1600Mhz (4 x 4GB) (Stock) Graphics Card x2 EVGA SuperClocked GeForce GTX 570 (Stock) in SLI Surround Sound Card On-Board Monitor(s) Displays 3x Acer 24" HDMI Widescreen LCD Monitor Screen Resolution 3@ 1920x1080 (5760x1080 In Surround) Keyboard Logitech G510 Mouse Zalman M300 PSU COOLER MASTER Silent Pro 1000W Case COOLER MASTER HAF X Black Cooling CORSAIR Hydro H70 Hard Drives Samsung 830 128gb ssd
