Where do you get so much money....1,000 proc? I think there may be a better bang for your buck somewhere else with a differnt proc

[hohmann]

that is all in AUD$$$ so yeh, there aint a better processor out atm, and i cant be ****ed waiting for yorksfield.

Get 2 GTXs un;ess u plan on getting another Ultra down the road. and 4 gigs of ram will do you nicely. Gskill Corsair etc are good.

If u have an 32-bit OS 4Gigs of RAM are useless, get an 64-bit OS or only 3 gigs of RAM

[Vash2051]

4 gigs is much easier to purchase than 3 gigs. And then you can run dual channel. I run 4 gigs in both a 32 bit and 64 bit OS. In my 32 bit xp i see 3.6 gigs and in 64 bit i see 4 gigs. not much of a difference performance wise at all. (Ram Speaking)

ANy diff in going from 2 gigs to 3 gigs in a 32-bit vista system ?

[Vash2051]

I saw a big difference from 2 to 4 in a 32 bit system. Just general apps load faster. Your definitely not going to see worse performance thats for sure and with 4 gigs you always have the ability to go 64 bit and be all set.

Get the samsung 22" widescreen or viewsonic ones on newegg. Personally I have the viewsonic and love it, no dead pixels! Gskill, OCZ, corsair are all good ram companys.

I don't know about that motherboard, I thought evga makes the top motherboards now, I know for sure make sure you get a evga video card, they are the best right now after XFX screwed alot of people over on rebates.

Also, its pretty stupid to buy a superclocked card, when you can do it your self in like 5 minutes, unless the superclocked version and stock cards are almost the same price, then go with the superclocked.

Kingstone RAMs are good....
And im using parts from GIGABYTE

THis is the monitor I use. It's great response time and good brightness. No dead pixels and really nice picture.

i would buy, but im in australia. and new egg doesnt ship overseas

[dimmy32]

He's right about evga motherboards - I have one, and its amazing.
I also matched it with an evga factory over-clocked 8800 GTX to give you those extra 3 frames a second ...:p

So far both have been super-quiet and very reliable.
