Nice rig, HammerHead. Good card you have there.

The 660ti is not massively cheaper than the 670, but as I said sadly my budget couldn't quite stretch to a 670.

SLI down the track. Done

The 660ti SLI will soon become the default' cheap' nvidia setup Like the 460 and 560 were.

Nice!

I just got the video card today.

I can't wait to get this built!

Thoughts?

 

[Solarstarshines]

I would go with FX 8120 cheaper and can be Oc'ed to the same as the 8150

I would have gotten a 7870 or 7950

the Board looks good

The PSU is ok i have one of those if you aren't running dual cards you'll be fine 52 amp single rail is more than enough

I would just get a regular DVD/Burning rom Blue ray is a waste IMO

Scratch that i just loaded an Add for you 6 Item combo for 500.00 that will leave you 300.00 dollars for a better Gpu and after market cooling

Plus a better Motherboard listed

Gpu for better Bang http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102983

JUST like that the time i was building my pc ( Improving casing looks , improving cooling and modifying 20 years old sony deck to connect to pc and stuff like that it as fun but now i am bored when all is done

That is a sweet rig there bud, but are you sure you have enough hard drives

 

[linnemeyerhere]

I have to admit I have a HDD and SSD addiction and I've taken the first step by acknowledging I have a problem and the next will be a 12 step program!

You may need the 12 step Crossfire program.

Alan, you don't have an SSD problem. Unless you own more than 8, you don't have a problem.

I must admit I am starting to get a SSD addiction, I have 3 in this rig with plans to add a 4th soon

See.....I'm not alone !
Ever since beginning the transition of all my music to lossless and then start on my 2500 lp's so far all my cd's take just over 825gb's and I see that easily doubling or more.

 

[essenbe]

Alan, you can't possibly listen to that much music. Play each song back to back 24/7 and it would take you the next 30 years to listen to them all.

 

[linnemeyerhere]

It's funny to have that much music and long to have my turntable set back up again and listen to it's splendor, it's one area that digital has failed to excel, short of accessibility and portability. I have three friends entire LP collections as well as my huge one waiting for me to set up my Mitsubishi LT30 and begin the long real time ripping process to digital to archive. I may use my Sota sapphire but change out the Grado wood body for a more stout Shure cartridge.
