[MEGATHREAD] Personal Computer - Updated builds thanks to Logical Increments

[Archimedes]

I'm also making a computer over the summer. Here are the specs~

Case- Azza Fusion 4000
CPU- Intel Core i7-3930K Six Core 3.20 GHz 12 MB Cache
MB- (4-Way SLI/CrossFireX Support) ASRock X79 Extreme11
GPU- Triple Nvidia GeForce GTX 680 2GB (EVGA Superclocked)
PSU- Enermax Platimax Series 80 Plus Platinum (1,200 Watts)
HD- 2x 120 GB Intel 520 Series SATA
DHD- 2x 1TB Gaming Western Digital VelociRaptor
RAM- Corsair 32GB DDR3 Channel Memory
Sound Card- Asus Xonar D1 7.1 PCI
DVD- Pioneer BDR Blu-Ray Writer

I also am thinking about a few accessories like a mouse and keyboard, a mouse pad, two 22" monitors to go along with my already existent 22" one.

I'm also throwing in Windows 8, because on my current desktop I have it and I'm quite enjoying it.

What do you think? This comes out to be, well, with the addition of a few other things that I didn't mention like liquid cooling and noise reduction, about $5,850.

Looks like I'll be working a lot over the summer.

Not only are your picks off, but it is a bit silly to plan a really expensive computer months and months in advance. Better technologies will come out and prices will drop before then.

good luck replacing the CPU lol

find out what socket the motherboard is using CPU-Z

then you can make a precise parts list

I'm at my wits end here.

My 670 is great for 3 screens but I feel like there's a SINGLE (NO SLI PLEASE) card for an equal or roughly similar price (forget, I wouldn't care if it was $100 more at this point) that will perform much, much better.

Anyone have anything in mind? :c I have a budget of like $700 tops for the card.

so would you need one with like triple DVI? Get a 690. that seems to be the only one I could find, besides some crappy 640 card.

I personally hate Radeon cards, because they are for budget builds.

That's not true at all, and since you said that I'm going to assume you don't know much about computers.

To be fair he is the guy who asked if he needed a sound card to use headphones

mondays

give me shopping expertise
what is the best possible gaming laptop that i can get for ~$500
bloatware isn't really an issue since i'll certainly just reinstall windows, so i'll even accept an alienware if things work out that way

i'm also having this really strange issue with my tablet where if it gets even a little too hot it forces itself off
it must be on the hardware side because i just reinstalled windows last night and it's still doing it
any ideas?

[Momentum]

some stuffty designing may have insured that some kind of circuit will break if it gets too hot, or mabye it was intentional in which case thats a good design to prevent it from overheating.

[devildogelite]

There is no gaming laptop for $500, you're stuff out of luck on that one.

lol, I guess I was right!

Then he was really really bad at building a computer, even worse than I thought.

So bad that he managed to acquire a motherboard with the rear-IO snapped off?

Are you handicapped? That's not true at all

It's okay.
He's one of those consumers, he can't help it if the media lies to him
