Korrupted Posted September 6, 2008 Author Share Posted September 6, 2008 Depends on the user. I don't run games in 1900 resolution. I do 1024x768 or 1280x1024. That rig will run games fine in that resolution for a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hackintom Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 Depends on the user. I don't run games in 1900 resolution. I do 1024x768 or 1280x1024. That rig will run games fine in that resolution for a long time. If you play games at a different resolution than the native one of your screen, the result is fugly... but I guess you already know that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suprjacob Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 I agree with nickhe. Wait for the i7 to come out, whenever that is, because: 1) You can build an Core i7 system, and have it be loads faster, or 2) These prices are going to drop a good deal because they would be an older product Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickhe Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 it will come out the first half of next year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terc Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Great selection. I think you'll be very happy with them. I'm currently on GA-EP45-DS3R Q9450 @ 3.75Ghz (has booted at 4.03Ghz) G.SKILL PI Black 2x2GB @ 938Mhz 4,4,4,12 1.96v (newegg link) This RAM is basically the same as what you're looking at, just packaged with lower latency, slower speed, it should be fine at the same speed/latency/volts at the G.SKILL you list, also it's just $60 (buy 2 sets!) PC Power & Cooling S61EPS 610W I'm using water cooling at the moment, but if I'm using the Freezer 7 Pro on a work machine, and it's the best value in air cooling I think I've ever seen. The only change I'd make in your list is the power supply, PC Power & Cooling rocks, and with a single 49A 12v rail, you'll never need to worry about watching for balancing your load over your 12v rails. Edit: Oops, judging by your sig, looks like you already made your decision. Hope you're enjoying it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
