Bisjac builds a comp

[Nickelob Ultra]

if you had 4000 you could have 12 cores :(

There's no point in getting a hex-core unless you want to be supremely futureproof or something.  Or you're into huge number crunching or whatever.

This is the motherboard I use, I just bought it and I love it <3

CPU
Intel i7-2600K Sandy Bridge
Quadcore 3.4GHz

CPU FAN
OOLER MASTER V8 CPU fan.
This is the fan I use for my cpu. :D


Ramz
Corsiar Dominator Series.x2 <-- buy 2 of these.
4gigs of DDR3-1600


GPU
EVGA Superclocked NVidia GeForce GTX570x2
Extremely good card, if you SLi this card you'll be running top-end games until your kids are gaming.

Case
Antec Twelvehundred.
8 fan spots with a huge one on the top because as physics works, heat rises. O:

PSU
Zalman 1000Watt. SLi ready.
Same PSU I use and it's never given me a problem. O:

HDD
OCZ Vertex 120gig SSD
A small hard-drive, but you said that you do most of your storage on externals, so this would suffice as your internal, it's big enough for games and your OS.

Disc Drives;
Asus 24x dvd burner.
this is the one I have

+

Samsung Blu-Ray reader. 12x
blu-ray and stuff.

Keyboard
Steelseries SHIFT keyboard
It's a badass keyboard, it's made of a steel inside so when your ass gets kicked in an FPS you can throw it against the wall and it won't break (personal experience). This is the keyboard that I use when I travel with my laptop.

Mouse
Razer Lachesis mouse
It's a good mouse for gaming, very responsive and stuff. My friend uses this and loves it.

Monitor
LG E2441V-BN. 24" monitor.
Monitor I use.



Grand total;
$2,500


Or get this as a GPU;

I feel like mine was the best one but I'm biased.

I have 3 GTX580s, which outperform the 590 :x

Mine and yours are on the same scale, except for the fact that mine has a few things that yours is missing. :o

your probably dumb enough to pair 3 580's with sandy bridge

[zeros_bro]

Your computer shouldn't go over $1,500... Just do minor upgrades every two years or so.

your probably dumb enough to pair 3 580's with sandy bridge

And that is dumb, how?

[Jokey365]

Might do some searching tomarrow. Going to see if I win a contest for free games first :S

[Righteous One]

And that is dumb, how?

because sandy bridge is limited to having 1 x16 lane on the basic chipset so unless you chose a special motherboard it would be running at like x4 x4 x4
