The Rig I am Thinking About Getting.

[gamepanther]

LOL. I thought you said it didn't matter, and that it is best to get the one step down generation

Ya, but we'll be using hovercars by the time this gets built!


 

LOL!!!

OK, me and my dad are going to build it these holidays. (Which are in a week for me). So we are gonna order in the next couple of days. Anything to change? I'm also not to sure with that moniter. I don't really like it. Anyone got any good HD suggestions?

I don't plan to go into the specific parameter comparisons in this post, however I have a Viewsonic monitor and I find it is great to use and have had no problems with dead pixels. I think it is a 3 year warranty on the monitors. A cheap 21.5' from Viewsonic would also allow you to play in 1920 x 1080 resolution, which that monitor does not support. Given the quality of your graphics card I would definitely be looking at at monitor that can support this resolution (ok so I picked on one parameter ). Others may have a different view, however all the monitors my family has purchased in the past 7 years have been viewsonics and have worked without a problem (which is around 6 of maybe 3 different models).

Computer Parts Land (CPL) have the VA2238wm-LED for $140.

We went to ARC yesterday to ask the guy there about our build, so soon we are going to go back, buy the parts, and build it! I will post some pictures once I am done.

Well yesterday I got the parts and put them all in the case. The only problem was, I had absolutely no idea where to put all of the cables and wires and stuff, so I got my friend to help me There is like no cable management but whatever. IT WORKS Now my friends dad is bringing over a Windows 7 Ultimate disk, because he gets a lot of free stuff from Dell.

I will put some pictures up now of my terrible cable management.
