my new build

[JacKz5o]

Well its been over 2 years since my last build.. and its been really outdated so I decided to build a new system.

MB: XFX 780i
CPU: Q6600
CPU Cooling: TRUE
RAM: 4GB G.Skill PC2 8000
PSU: PCP&C 750W
GPU: eVGA 9800GTX
HDD: 640GB WD Caviar
DVD: Samsung 20X
Case: CM Cosmos S

All parts were ordered last week and should be arriving between 4/21 and 4/24 :toast:

Didn't want to do RAID?

[spearman914]

Get 2 wd caviar 500 gb or 2 wd caviar 320 gb. They are super cheap now and put it in raid 1 or 0. The other parts are superior

[WarEagleAU]

Very awesome Jack, very awesome. That case is really supremo too.

BTW: Did you order these parts from the egg?

I don't know why but I'm not really a RAID kind of guy lol :rolleyes: Maybe later I'll get another 640GB and get a 1TB RAID 0 strip.

Thanks :D I ordered the RAM and HD from the egg, the others I ordered from ZZF, Tiger, and Frys.

Only reason I got the Q6600 was because it was only $180 without MIR for a G0 retail boxed chip. Otherwise I would have gone with a Q9450.

[JacKz5o]

Well apparently "very soon" is approximately a month according to Thermalright..


Jack,

As of right now I do not have a solid release date or price on the TRUE Black 120. If I had to guess I would give it month and it should be available.

BR,

Loren

Guessing I'm just gonna re-order the original TRUE.

Good build, I think the 640gb is solid. They're testing very fast, and are priced great. Add another down the road for over 1tb raid, thats just super. I wanted to pick one up but money constraints kept me to 320. :mad: Next will be one of those. Have fun though.:toast:

NOO DON't If you go raid only buy hdds with same disk space. Because if you put 1 TB and a 640 GB in Raid 0 you will end up with only 1280 GB of Disk Space since Raid 0 reduces all hard drives to the lowest space hd. And it will be a waste of 360 GB.

I know, I said I would get another 640GB like I have right now for a 1280GB RAID 0 strip.


Also, I got the Cosmos S today and the thing makes my old Tsunami case look like a mini ATX.. the box itself is like 5x bigger than the Tsunami lol.

[Solaris17]

slick rig dude nice job

[JacKz5o]

Well got everything today except the TRUE (TRUE's UPS ETA: 4/28) :D

All I did was get the PSU in then I had to go out for a bit, I'll probably build it tonight or tomorrow. I'll have some pics by tomorrow :D

[MKmods]

Looks like its gonna be a really nice comp, looking forward to the picts.

There is gonna be a LOT of folks trying to get that cooler, lol

[Odin Eidolon]

dont get TRUE. Get a xigmatek hdt1283. Cools better and its quiter! Or maybe the red scorpion version, it looks great!
