I really don't have time to build a PC at the moment, so I just order it through Cyberpower. This is my final build I am definitely excited to get this PC. There was a few things I wanted but I am waiting for them to come down in price, I got a free upgrade to the 6870 so that was a huge plus for me. I was going to get a 300GB Velociraptor 10000rpm HDD, but at the price and the difference between then 7200rpm 64 cache just isn't big enough.
Also I wanted to SLI my video cards. I think I'll waiting till they come down a bit more, overall I am happy with this build. Finally, I will eventually upgrade the radiator and PSU as I do not trust this brand, but should be good for a 2 or 3 years.
FYI, this case looks and cools amazingly.

What did you want this thing to do, control all the satellites that are orbitting the earth?
Personally I think its a little much for a gaming PC, you could probably cut some things out and save yourself a good amount of money. Unless this is for other things like graphic design and such.
If its just for Gaming you could cut out the cooling system and 4 GB of RAM. And Maybe go with just a Quad Core CPU instead of a 6 core, then giving you something to upgrade to later on when it starts to become obsolete. Plus the components that will release in a couple years will be much better than the ones out now, giving your computer much more life.
Also, The price listed at the end, what currency is that in?
|
It's in US dollars, I got a hell of a deal on this and yes I do alot of graphics design with Cinema 4D and Adobe as well develop websites using flash and action scripting, so the RAM and 6 Core are imperative.
|
8GB is pretty standard now, I'm finding 4GB to be restrictive for some power applications.
A 4 core sandybridge Processor will give you a little more power then a 6 core AMD depending on how well Adobe uses the cores in it's future products ( Bear in mind you can push a i7 2600K to 4.8Ghz on good air cooling alone - on the other hand a Intel mb/cpu will cost a bit more)

Water cooling is a bit OTT unless your planning on doing some serious overclocking.
The MB seems to support USB 3 but it seems to be only offering USB 2 ports which is very strange.
How ever all that aside - it's a nicely spec'ed PC with a great gaming mouse.

Thanks for the critque bud, I received a Powercolor 6870 and AmpX memory which I am extremely impressed with. I did however read some bad reviews on the Xtremegear product line and will be getting a corsair 120mm LC and 750w corsair PS in the near future. Overall the game has been able to run absolutely everything I have thrown at it including: Arkham Asylum, Dead Space, Just Cause 2, The Witcher, Darksiders, Bad Company 2, and Crysis/Crysis Warhead on maxed out settings getting well over 60 fps. I have also been able to run several adobe apps while transferring between Cinema 4d and Lightwave which was never even close to possible on my laptop. I have only OC'd the proc to 3.6 and the GPU to just over 1200mhz and never reach a temp above 65C.
So I would definitely have to recommend this build to everyone.
