QX6850 Extreme Quad
Asus Maximum Extreme
2Gb DDR3 OCZ
6 x HDD's
Matrox Graphics Card
Water Cooled System
6 x fans

etc - no games - just applications!

Technicaly its enough but i wouldn't use a tagan just because id rather use quality like corsair or seasonic. But it should do the trick.

Also seriously why do you need 6 fans with a water cooled system? water cooling will be up to the job as it is with just 2 to keep air circulating for the hard drives.

And DDR3 is a big waste in money, not enough performance increase over ddr2 plus 4gb of ddr2 would be a lot better. Aldo do you really need the qx6800 when the 6600 will overclock to 4ghz on water cooling?

Seems like youve gone rather over the top!

As he says you can get 4Gb DDR2 for less than half the price of 2Gb DDR3. Much more sense.

You can still get a mobo that's compatible with DDR3 for when prices drop

Tagan is fine. nothing wrong with them at all. Also, I presume you meant to say Seasonic not seagate ;)

The Q6600 isn't guaranteed to hit 4GHz. If you are happy to buy a QX6800 I'd go the extra to get the new QX9650. Which is currently obliterating everything in front of it when overclocked :D

I know the tagan is fine which is why i said it would do the job but if you are willing to pay very high prices for the cpu and water cooling and 6 fans! why get a tagan?

and i know the cpu isn't guaranteed but at 3.9ghz im sure you wont really care to much. Also... i dont know waht your talking about i said seasonic all along *shifty eyes*
 
LOL - I have bought all the bits I wanted (personal choice) but thanks for the critique - it much appreciated - dont you just love people who say what you should've, would've, could've done - LOL!!!!

The 6 fans are as follows . . .

2 on the water Radiator
2 on the case
2 right infront of the 2 x HDD caddies

= 6!!!

Anyway OC rec the tagan so it must be ok - right???

LOL and thanks for the answer to the original Q - next thing you will be telling me that I should have bought AMD for 1/2 the price - LOL!!!!

funnly you should menchen that because amd quads are now overclocking to 3.8 on air. Nah joking :p

The fans make sence now, didn't think about that one.

As for the tagan yes it is caperble i personaly would just rather pay more for a seasonic or corsair. It will power the pc fine.
 
either way youve not lost anything you just paid more then you had to. At least you not got somthing worse then you could have... well apart form the qx9650... but we wont menchen how that overclocks really well and is faster clock for clock. But its reasonably more expensive.

what you using your pc for?
 
cheers guys . . .

PC being used for playing patience and some word processing (hope I spelt that correct)

Next month I hope to have enough cash to buy a 56k modem to connect to the world wide web (whatever that is) I saw Homer on it one day it looked cool!

khushy
LOL!
 
you spent that much money on a cpu to play patience and word processign????????!?!?!?!?!?!!!!????!....!.......?


O and 56k modem will require you to actually have an internet provider still and you will really suffer with that. Nowdays all websites have high resolution websites with big pictures which take like 5 minutes on dial up! at least get 1mb broad band which is about the same cost per month anyway!

Actually... how are you on the internet right now?
 
me? or him? If he spent that much money to do word processing and playing patience i think his mummy and daddy must be very rich, unless hes an adult. In which case id like to be adopted :)
