New rig ordered today :D

Soullkilla · 27 May 2009 at 20:36

Ordered my rig this morning, should get it tomorrow hopefully and get it built ready for a play at the weekend, cant wait

Originally was going for 2 x 285s, but in the end decided to only got for 1 and not waste that money where it wasnt really needed and instead used that spare cash to buy a 80 Gig PS3 off my mate with 5 games and 3 controllers for 200 quid hehe.

Cheers for the advice from everyone, will post pics of the items and finished rig this weekend.

Nice gear - enjoy it.

That's a mixture of some very good stuff and some very average stuff. Did you ask on the forum before buying?

im guessing he means the crappy graphics card at the bottom, but as explained above, its for a old pc to repair for the misses..

soundb0y · 27 May 2009 at 23:47

also why do you need 900w?

No. I just would expect some high quality corsair ram and a WD / Samsung hard drive in a rig like this. But that's just my bias really. There's nothing at all wrong with what you've chosen

Soullkilla · 27 May 2009 at 23:50

well originally i was going SLI, but then decided not too, but keeping enough there just incase i do decide to add another graphics card and anything else i add in the future, the price difference between a 600 and a 900 was hardly anything so got big now then wont have to buy again at a later date.
