I have one of those Full Tower HAF cases and they are monsters. It's rightfully named Monstrosity on my network. Looks like a great pc to me.

[ockhamsrazor]

I also have virtually the same PC - except I got two 580s for BF3 and a SSD boot drive. It 5 boxes WOW without any issues.

[ZooljinX]

Looks all good except why pay for windows... ? they make enough money!

you could add those 100 towards a nicer motherboard or something like another HDD for RAID (great speed i love it)

Umm... because stealing/pirating is bad mmmkay...

[Selz]

Its looks fairly nice.

Does the 580 GTX card support 3x monitors?

Think so, but I will only use one for now. .only reason I'm getting a 3G video card is because VRam helps 3D from what I hear, and boxing 8) I might add a second if i ever feel the need. But i have a laptop atm that i 5 box wow on.. so ill prob just get that new 27 Asus 3D vision2 monitor coming out soon and use my laptop for other shit.

[MiRai]

Build looks fine.

By itself as a single card, it does not.

If you're going to have 2 monitors, make sure they support the same resolutions otherwise your video card
will never drop down into an idle power state.

[remanz]

what's the powersupply.

add this corsair 1200 will run you for 2k

i was trying to build one also.

but with the same config, build from http://www.buyxg.com seems to be only $60-80 more comparing to buying all the parts from newegg and build it yourself. and they tune and test your builds too before it is shipped to you. I think its better to let them build it than having DOA parts from newegg. I just can't take the frustration of dealing with fail parts anymore.

oh and personally, i'd stay away from MSI GTX580. Get some other brands.

I'm thinking about going through Digital Storm.. they have very high reviews and they have great prices for a builder. My build would cost me 200 more through them though. But the peace of mind might be worth it.

[Lyonheart]

I wussied out on building my own and bought this http://www.digitalstormonline.com/comploadode.asp?id=597328!

[remanz]

good lord they are expensive, digit storm I mean. reviews are pretty high though.


Intel Core i7 2700K + 1600mhz RAM 16GB + GTX 580 1.5GB + Corsair 1200 PSU

I crossed into $2400 realm on digit storm. and GTX 580 price just doesn't come down.

Intel Core i7 2600K + 1300mhz RAM 16GB + GTX 580 1.5GB + Corsiar 1200 PSU

this is about $1950 from newegg.


edit: , oh you already ordered. the build looks ok. Its about $200 more alright vs building on your own. The machine should be good for at least 3 years.

[remanz]

the setup i am looking at. this is about 2k on buyxg

3 years, lol.

Still kicking strong with a 512mb graphic card + a machine that's atleast 4 years old. It does play 5 wow's, but probably not high end games on max settings. But then again, my graphic card was like 200 euro's and not 600 :P
