New rig time

[sniperp_99]

I brought this up at the meeting last night but in about 2 months I'm goingto builing a new desktop. My budget is $2000, I prefer intel and nvidia, I only need the rig I have keyboard monitors mouse, so I only need the computer itself. I've been a little dated on technology so any help would be appreciated. Thanks

i think i might have you a little over but you can cut corners on the ram and the smaller things but i wouldnt cut corners on mobo or the gpu you wont have to upgrade for years with this set up and i have to say will kill alot of bench marks with it  any Q's hit me up or i could build a cheaper one just as good

ok just a bit over had to go to the 6 gig ram but that is fine there is everything you need to build a monster pc and later upgrade to 2 480s and the  thing will eat any game and poop it out  and u can also get the case with blue lights if you dont like red i did

[Monkey_Grill]

Fallen, what is with all this rocktrash? 250GB HD for $79? And it's only SATA2! GTX480? ROCKTRASH!

Snipe, here's what you should get:

Intel I7 CPU
Motherboard I7 Capable, SATA3, USB 3.0
4-6GB DDR3
2 1TB Western Digital Black SATA3 (RAID 0 or one for backups)
HD5970
Win7 Pro 64-Bit
Cooler Master HAFX
1000W Power Supply

I don't agree with either of these setups, but I won't put one together until he's a little closer to purchase time.  Sniper, post something here when you are about 1 month out from build and I will put one together that spanks the pants off both of those systems for cheaper!

[FALLEN]

look at reviews that is the best of the best boon this is all i do all day i could do this all day just diff config so bring it i wish i had the money i would build mine then yours and bench test the crap out of them to see the real winner lol

[Arethius]

just cuz its the price:

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Alienware+-+M15X+Laptop+with+Intel%26%23174%3B+Core%26%23153%3B+i7+Processor+-+Cosmic+Black/9722255.p?id=1218159405396&skuId=9722255&st=alienware&cp=1&lp=2

yeah, cuz Alienware is teh aw3some!!!1!!

[FALLEN]

sorry to say but  Alienware is a fail you pay alot for the name man really look whats in it xps from dell are better cost less and he is looking for a desktop

[tehfunk101]

Dell owns Alienware, and Dell basically dropped their XPS gaming line to sell more Alienwares.  Prices for Alienwares have also dropped a lot compared to previous years to compete more with custom pc sites like ibuypower and cyberpower.

I don't agree with either of these setups, but I won't put one together until he's a little closer to purchase time.  Sniper, post something here when you are about 1 month out from build and I will put one together that spanks the pants off both of those systems for cheaper!

I agree with schlup on this one.  But dont even post a month ahead.  When your ready to buy it, post, and we can all scower newegg for deals!! It will likely be a PC close to what Monkey_Grill posted, maybe a different video card ( GTX290 possibly ) or different HDD setup ( Samsung spinpoints are the fastest big drives http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822152185&cm_re=samsung_spinpoint-_-22-152-185-_-Product )

[Arethius]

and because sarcasm is so hard to translate over the interwebz, the alienware laptop was a joke.

Personally, if I had 2k to spend on a rig I'd blow a good chunk of it on the i7 980x....6 cores and 12 threads of goodness.

[FALLEN]

LOL thanks funk I know it's made by dell I should of said xps model ha I love it when I look stupid well that's my input and everyone has trashed so never mind my post snipe good luck with the build

[Schlup]

I'm thinking
i7 980x
8GB DDR3
GTX 290
SSD Drive w/ at least 200MB/s read and write
Windows 7 Pro
Nice Asus Mobo but not overboard
800-900W power supply

Don't get your feelings hurt, I don't want to have to start calling you Captain Insano! LOL.  It's not a bad build Fallen but you posted way too early and didn't spend enough time researching it.
