Look at the motherboard size, because saying server mobo gives no information at all. That's also a terrible idea and you shouldn't do it.

its a shame newegg doesnt sell the one dual 2011 desktop motherboard anymore :(

I can recommend the K60. It's pretty cool.
It doesn't have the macro keys (but who uses those, anyways?) and no backlight (again, what do you need that for?).

The look of a keyboard is a pretty huge deciding factor for me. There may be some small differences between them but they perform all about the same. So the one huge difference is aesthetics, and honestly why wouldn't a keyboard have backlighting in this day & age.

Ehh dual cpu is a pretty huge waste of money.

ah, okay then.

i wanted to do a double water loop with each loop cooling a CPU and a GPU, so dual CPUs and dual GPUs. it would've been cool, i still want to have two loops, mabye the secondary loop could cool the chipset.

Because it's got a stuff GPU and a hurl inducing CPU.

Elecro, don't get some stuff cheap computer, save money for a nicer one, it'll be worth it in the end.

Or if he is really tight on the budget and needs a PC, order the parts from this thread under the $300 computer and later save up for $100 so you can get a dedicated GPU like HD 7770.

i don't play high end games, the higest game i want to play is l4d2 and gta 4

[Zeblote]

Don't buy a fail pc just because you don't need a better one right now

That PC wouldn't even play L4D2, let alone start GTA 4.

i thought radeon hd 7000+ is a good gpu.

Um, that needs a good GPU from my understanding.

i thought radeon hd 7000+ is a good gpu.

....Um. You might want to do research, not go by numbers.

It doesn't work like that.

7340 is horsestuff compared to a card like 5770.

The first number >7<340 represents the generation, this is the 7th. The second number 7>3<40 represents the series of the high/low end generation, higher the better, 3 is horsecrap. The last 2 numbers 73>40< represent the power of the GPU in that generation and series, 40 is terrible, 90 is the max. Basically the higher the last 3 numbers are the better. See why a HD 5770 is better than a HD 7340?

Same goes for nVidia cards. If I got the number order right.
