other mainboard if you don't OC, Power Supply is shit, take other CPU cooler. and take normal DDR2 RAM.
Why is the be quiet ps shit?

The CPU Cooler is silent, I do not care about how he looks, he has to cool, and has to be silent, thats all i want. I dont want another Jet in my room :|
Parent
Yes, floppy. I know its "rofllol" but i need it for some old stuff ^^
Parent
Which is also quite handy for bios updates, if the Asus tool fails again (like it did @ me) ;D
Parent
I don't think that mobo supports ddr3 but i could be wrong :x Get better psu and maybe some basic water cooling set for cpu so you can oc to the max, other than that great pc. Love that Case!!!
1) It supports DDR3, 4 Slots

2) Whats wrong with the PSU? :(

3) If you want a good water cooling you have to spent a lot of money, i dont like those starter kids, or "ready-to-use" systems, they are shit most likely
Parent
Brand.

Take Corsair/Enermax instead.
Parent
Nowadays you can get a nice wartecooling kit, from, lets say, thermaltake, for less than 100€. But only for the cpu ofc.
Parent
thermaltake kits suck balls
Parent
Depends of the kit rly.

Petra's has a great water cooling kit for a pretty good price (OOS right now though).

Edit: also I'm aware that they have an ugly site, they are reliable though.
Parent
MOAR HDD
serious?

no need for at the moment, i have so many spare hdds here, no need for new ones ;)

DDR2 vs. DDR3, read a lot about it, but since i dont really care about a few bucks more i take the ddr3 cause i want a system for the future. Or why you think i should take ddr2?
Why you didnt buy i7 core?
Parent
I've read Benchmarks and everything and read many articles about "tlb bugs" same like AMD had 1 year ago, so i didnt bought an i7 (yet)

Google "i7 tlb bug" if you don't know what it is ;)
Parent
Go for DDR3. I had the same doubt and bought DDR3, don't regret a bit tbh.
Parent
show off
GTX 280 ==> HD4870(X2?)
Q5550 ==> i7 920 (you want something for future ...) and change mainboard
PSU ==> Corsair 550W

Depend a lot on your budget (=> i7 ?) and on your screen.
280GTX is almost as good as hd4870x2 and is much less hot, requires less power and much less noisy and cheaper
and no i think having an 700W is better for him
obviously if he bought the nforce then he is planning for an SLi setup, and im sure corsait 550W wont be enough to hold GTX 280 sLi :O
Parent
HD4870X2 = 15% more perf than 280GTX for 20€ more. For power/noise/T° yes but i don't like nVidia anyway :D
Parent
noticed xD i hate ati :< im always +1 for nvidia
Parent
:)

btw utility for a 280GTX SLI ? One card ok but SLI ...
For PSU it's more about brand than power, if he is planning for SLI so take Corsair 650W =D
Parent
60FPS @ 30" ^^
well, an GTX 280 GX2 should be released close to january, it might cost around ~700$ so he / i might aswell grab this beast ^^ or 260GTX and l8er SLi for cheap once his PC is getting alil slow (crysis4? :F)
Parent
Didn't noticed he was playing with 30" soz
Parent
he didnt mention it, but prob its the only reason to buy 280GTX SLi
to be honest, i dont know if i really need an 260 SLi, but the sound of SLi and having 2 GPU is so sexy and makes me want to have such setup ><
Parent
Well, I also favour nVidia but this is bullshit.

Even a single HD4870 is faster (and ofc cheaper) than a 280GTX!
Parent
now lol, you wish :P 260GTX beats at most cases the hd4870, maybe you are confused by them
Parent
corair suxx i got 2 power supply of them both burned xD


@stojN take a core 2 duo because noone can use the full power from a quad core, only u work much with editing photos or anything but a core 2 duo is enough.
Parent
Corsair = Seasonic PSU with more warantly. You're just not lucky, i have buy something like 10 Corsair PSU for config and np.
Parent
850W WTF???!?!?!
did u realy buy QX9770?
Parent
I has that one :)
Parent
1000euroes for a single CPU, thats crazy, an OC core i7 920 outperforms it and is only 250 euros :P
e: ok fuck you have 3 280 gtx :o u prolly can afford any shit =/
Parent
no :P
fake rig
Parent
why core 2 quad? it sucks take a dual core :)
OK good pc for office !
XDDDDDDDDDDD
Parent
be warned when buying an nvidia chispet
take core i7 920 with p6t deluxe and 260GTX SLi, IMO, will give you the best gaming experience
Never bye motherboard with nvidia chipset, via or any other random chipset.
INTEL ONLY.
u know why? and why intel only?
Parent
Cause is faster more stable and not troubleshooting with other hardware parts.
Also Intel's inf file updates often and it fits to any Intel chipset even is too old.
Parent
+1

I used to have an nF4 chipset mobo, but I'm on Intel now, and I can agree with you ^^
Parent
Whats the price for this pc`?

ps: soundonboard SUCKS!
should be around the 1800 euros
Parent
why not i7?
and?


u want a cookie now?
vista sux
