hi everyone i have been reading here a lot before i built my system.. and i have it together now.. i thought i would post the pictures because i love to look at others' pictures... also i have a few minor questions.. and i also have advice for anyone else making a build based on my success
this is my first build i have never even replaced a video card before this i didnt even know how to install ram.. lol looking back i was a total newb.. luckily i learn very fast and i think i can call myself now a semi-expert
but unfortunately im still newb at photo taking
okay time for system specs (everything i bought i made sure had the highest feedback at newegg.. and that strategy has paid off greatly)
CPU: I7 920 D0@3.8 1.15v (shows lower on CPUz ? not sure why) 1.2v QPI, 200 blck 19x multi (ordered at newegg)
(i have made it stable at 4.2 but i don't need so much power and i don't think its worth the CPU strain over the long term, if i need a quick upgrade next year i will just set it higher)
CPU cooling: Prolimatech Megalahems with two 1800rpm very very quiet fans Noiseblocker NB-Multiframe M12-S3HS 120mmx25mm Ultra Silent Fan - 1800 RPM - 27 dBA (i cant even hear them with my ear next to them) these are absolutely silent placed vertically.. they make alot noise if you put them horizontal.. don't do that
(ordered at frozencpu, (highly recommended))
Runs idle 32C-40C in ambient 70F
Runs full load Prime 95 1 hour.. 58-64C (max 64C on core 0, all other cores stay under 62C) ambient 75F
Case: Thermaltake VL10001W2Z Element G.. seems kindof cheap looking at the name but.. this is an awsome case with really great airflow and pretty cool lights... ( hint: at first it appears impossible to have the fan lights different colors.. but if you set the fan color and then unplug and replug in the fans.. they will run at different colors.. so if anyone wants to know how to do that its easy to have different color fans.. lol) i really love this case cant beat it for 100 dollars and free shipping (bought on amazon)
it came with 4 fans.. although advertised with three... IM NOT COMPLAINING ..LOL... awesome ..want to add dual 40mms to the back
RAM: Mushkin Enhanced Blackline 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) bought for 137.99 at newegg.. wow this is awesome ram.. i tried to overclock it but it got really temperamental when i put my CPU at 4.2 AND RAM AT 1833 MHZ..so i just left it at 1600mhz timed it at 7-8-7-24.. makes overclocking really easy.. highly recommend... fast ram cheap price
DVD: DVD BURN SONY|AD-7240S-0B % 1 31.99
Motherboard: 1 x ASUS P6T Deluxe v2 Intel X58 Core i7 Socket 1366 PC3-12800 (DDR3-1600) ATX Motherboard Retail @ $279.99
really great board makes overclocking so easy a newb can pwn....

PSU: 1 x CORSAIR 850TX 850W SLI/CrossFire Active Power Supply Retail @ $127.00

Awesome hard drives.. totally destroys the hard drives i had in my old system that were raid 0.. these beat the old hard drives even unraided.. awesome.. cant wait to see how they perform raid 5 warranty also is a great thing to have
VIDEO CARD: ati 5770.. this is a place holder..i want to get the lightning 5870 2GB or 6 port 2GB 5870 when they come out hopefully soon.. i really need the GB when pushing 7 million pixels on 3x 1920 x 1200 monitors.. i struggle to get past 2xaa in most games currently
OS: ohhh also WIN 7 64 got on Ebay for 55 dollars
so if anyone is looking to build a *** A** system for $1312
($1367 with WIN 7) which is exactly what this cost me with shipping and deals.. here is your answer... want to spend more get a 5870.. want to spend less save yourself $120-250 on the cooler / hard drives / PSU... this thing is great and i will be able to upgrade it for the future and it already is amazing.. so that's my advice for the newbs.. build this system you will not be dissapointed and youll have a solid upgrade future.. hope i can help someone
here are my questions i hope the super experts can help me out on..
Question #1...where can i find pair if quit 40mm fans that wil either run on one fan plug on the mother board.. or a plugs from the PSU.. i would like them to be quiet i don't want any noise.. as my computer is already silent..
Question #2.. i am going to get a sound card.. HT OMEGA plus.. what is a really really nice 5.1 or 7.1 sound system for this.. budget is unlimited.. as i have struck it rich in the stock market.. but i still like to save my cash for making it rain so lets say 1000 is a good price.. but if something else justifies the price.. damn the torpedoes full speed ahead!!!!! thanks.. ( i LOVE MUSIC!!!)
ohh also monitors 3x Dell u2410 490 dollars each ebay.. amazing monitors.. but not cheap.. if you dont have balling bank account like me you may want some 200 dollar ones.. lol thanks everyone ahead of time
and in conclusion everything is AWSOME! lol
