Hey everyone, my PC died a horrible death. I am will only be in the forums off and on for a little while. After I post this I am beginning the new PC shopping spree with as much as my wife will allow <_< she will probably tell me to use a can and some string :blink:

Oh well until then I will snipe you later.

What kind of price range do you have? You should build your own, it is cheaper.

Well I talked to my buddy at Nvidia and this is the system we have come up with.
Hopefully I will have it up and running by this weekend. Wish me luck!!
Yes Murphy I build my own, I would not consider buy someone else's ;)

I haven't ordered anything yet. I have to check the new one I put in last night thinking that just might fix my problem. If it isn't where it needs to be I will be getting one of those as well.

Unless you plan on OC the computer, that cooling fan isn't needed. The Heatsink that comes with the cpu is quite adequate for stock speeds.

You should over clock and try to compete with me in 3dmark06. I do pretty well with my computer.

I am in it for stability, and that doesn't come to mind when I think about over clocking. Besides if I blow up my new system because I was over clocking my wife would stab me in the face :blink:
