Malwarebytes is one of the best free virus stopper thingys. It's just letting you know that you're either being hacked or visiting dodgy sites.

my friend has 4g memory. but crashes every 15 min because of memory shortage.

we tried everything, short of him FINALLY reformatting if he ever does. but his comp is a huge clutter mess, i am almost sure a clean slate would fix the issue.
Change the amount of memory Java can access. By default it's either 512MB or 1024MB.

I'm getting a quad core 2.33 GHz with 8GB RAM. That's good, right?
What's the GPU like?
It won't be any good for gaming if it's integrated etc.

She said she was 29, right?
Then she said she has a 15 year old?

I don't see how, CCC has crashed for me, and nothing happened.
If you don't understand the importance of it, you shouldn't be giving computer advice. Sorry.

I thought so...

It doesn't make much sense in terms of efficiency for processor manufacturers to have tech like that.
Like I said, all the other rich people buy it too :cookieMonster:

Also, Ethan, most mobos come with SATA cables, y'know...  But it makes sense to buy the cable anyway in case the one that comes with the mobo isn't 6.0.
Last build I did, the mobo didn't come with one, and neither did the HDD, better to be safe.
Plus it's a good brand. Not that it'd make much difference, lol.

Looks like my link was perfect for him after all.
Guessing could've really forgeted up his computer if you were wrong.
A friend forgeted a motherboard cause he jumped right in and DL'ed the wrong one.

noooo the radeon 5830 is better for what i want to do with it and cheaper
What possibly would you be doing where the 5830 is better than a 6870?
6870 is just a plainly faster card, as well as having better tessellation DX11 support. You're crazy.

I read that they are divided by some geek here. I might also be wrong as well.
It's not divided. Each core = 3.4GHz, but they don't scale like that, so a dual core wouldn't be a 6.8GHz.

is that total before or after rebates.
i mean i have money on the side as well, but i was keeping close to the credit spending i have on the newegg account lol
After.

BISJAC'S SUPERCOMPUTER!


CASE
Cooler Master HAF 932 Full Tower
Big case will fit everything you need. Good airflow, and doesn't look like a donkey's ass.

POWER SUPPLY
Antec SLI-Ready 1200W 80 Plus Gold
Lots of wattage for your SLI setup, and a trusted brand. 80 Plus Gold means it will always put out at least that 1200W.

MOTHERBOARD
Gigabyte GA-Z68X-UD3-B3 LGA 1155 Intel Z68 ATX
Has refined Z68 chipset makes it more reliable. Has everything you need.

PROCESSOR
Intel Core i7 2600K Sandy Bridge Quad Core
Is 3.4GHz at stock, 3.8GHz with turbo boost on, and even more with overclocking if desired.

PROCESSOR COOLING
Zalman CNPS9700
Comes with everything required to mount to a 1155 motherboard and CPU, and also comes with some thermal paste. Great cooler especially for overclocking, without dipping your feet in watercooling.

RANDOM ACCESS MEMORY
Corsair Vengeance 16GB (4 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600
Very good RAM. 16GB is ample and will give you many years without upgrading.

HARD DISK DRIVE
Western Digital Black 2TB 7200RPM
Sata 6GB/s is very fast. WD drives are possibly the most reliable, and the Black series is great.

SATA CABLE
Rosewill 6GB/s SATA Cable
Gotta have one.

SOLID STATE DRIVE
Crucial RealSSD C300 128GB SATA III
For use as a boot drive or with Intel's new Smart Response technology which will make your 2TB HDD really fast.

BLURAY READER
LITE-ON Bluray Reader
Aren't they all the same? :)

DVD WRITER
LITE-ON DVD Writer
Standard DVD Writer with your basic features.

VIDEO CARD
EVGA GTX590
nVidia's newest dual GPU chip, combines 2 GTX580s. Currently out of stock, but may not be, when you go to order, but if they are:
OR
EVGA GTX570
Grab 2 of these, and SLI, for similar performance. I know it's better to have one card than 2, for a lot of reasons, but these are pretty much the next best thing.

MONITORS
Acer 23'' 5ms 1920x1080 WideScreen LCD Monitor
Great monitors. Grab 3 of them. Both video card configurations will be able to handle 3 monitors in nVidia surround, but once again it'd be easier to configure with the GTX590, which is the first card by nVidia to support surround without having to SLI at least 2 cards.

MOUSE
Logitech G9x 5700dpi Gaming Mouse
I have one of these myself. It's like aiming with your mind. I recommend them.

KEYBOARD
Logitech G19 Gaming Keyboard
Once again, I have one myself. Truly great. Had absolutely no problems so far with the brown town French quality. :)



TOTAL COST

All components except GPU:
$2214.19

Total cost with GTX590:
$2964.18

Total cost with 2 x GTX570 SLI:
$2834.17

All costs above take Rebates into consideration.

Any questions?
